Someone gave me a handmade pine wood entertainment center- only prooblem is that is was covered with dark green latex paint. Most of it has peeled away clean, but there are spots where I can't get the pain off of, especially in the joints where the pieces were assembled.How can I remove dark green latex paint from finished pine without damaging the wood underneath?
Paint stripper. Do it outside. Wear heavy plastic gloves, it is very caustic and will burn skin! Apply as per directions with old brush. Remove with rags, dispose of rags safely, they are now caustic. Repeat if neccessary.
Wipe off all stripper, rinse with water completely. Neutralize with water made mildly acidic with a small amt of vinegar or lemon juice. Let dry. Finish as desired. Stripper at Ace, Lowes, Home Depot.How can I remove dark green latex paint from finished pine without damaging the wood underneath?
paint remover. read the instructions and cautions, most can cause skin irritations
you can try scraping it with mineral spirits, or another kind of paint remover, 15 bucks a gallon or so, orrrrrr, the harder cheaper way, is sand away....stain proper color then varnish.. about 30 bucks for finishing materials
paint remover or sand paper or a combination of both
