I recall seeing a recent post which mentions Oxalic Acid for bleaching timber. Would this be appropriate for the following:
I have just stripped a thick coat of gloss paint from a 50's vintage dollhouse/cupboard and am down to the cream/lemon coloured lacquer that was common in kitchen dressers of that era.
There is quite a lot of turned work on the cupboard and I need some advice on the easiest way to get ALL paint and lacquer residue off. Up till now I have used Methylated spirits and steel wool but it is tough going.
Are there any easier ways to strip back to the raw timber and hasten the process.
Thanks, Barbara
