Re: [UC] Dipping and stripping

[Marielena Mata]

Could you elaborate on why not use Citrustrip?  We have used it in the past 
and would like to know why it is not a good idea (other than my house smells 
like bad orange candy for a week).

Does anyone out there know of a way to strip the old - very old varnish
(mahogany finish) off my stair banisters so that I can refinish the "new"
wood underneath?  I heard there was a chemical stripper that I can wipe 
on.
I don't know if I'd have to use sand paper with this chemical, but I
imagine i would.  It seems cheaper for me to do it rather than to hire the
great guy who sanded and refinished my floors...

Most paint strippers will work; I'd recommend NMP-based, as they're safer 
than methylene chloride. Do NOT use Citrustrip. You'll also need 
brass-bristle brushes, denatured alcohol to clean the wood afterwards, and 
yes, some sanding.
