How to remove paint – part 2

I hope no one started a stripping project and then got stuck in the middle of it without part two of my video!  🙂  I finally had the chance to edit it.  In this video, I’m using Strypeeze, a biodegradable chemical paint remover, mineral spirits, and a putty knife.  All are available from your local True Value Hardware or their online store.   Enjoy part two…

 

The top definitely wasn’t perfect underneath, but I think the imperfections just add to the character of the piece.

 

 

You can see the part one of the video tutorial HERE and the finished dresser HERE.

I was one of the bloggers selected by True Value to work on the DIY Squad. I have been compensated for my time commitment to the program as well as my writing about my experience. I have also been compensated for the materials needed for my DIY project. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have not been paid to publish positive comments.
