I’ve been thinking of using denatured alcohol and lacquer thinner on an (identical?) old Lane table … I think I’ll get some QCS, it did a great job.

Do you scuff after toning or straight to lacquer

5F5 was the best stripper, but a few people who didn't know how to use it properly and the EPA ruined that.

Does kleanstrip premium stripper work with water based poly?

What would you think having a table like this refinished by a refinisher would cost?

Hi there, I really appreciate your videos! You do exceptional work! I was wondering if I wanted to stain the table I’m working on, would you stain it, before you grain filled it? Do you need to put vinyl sealer after the stain and then grain filler? Sorry to throw a monkey wrench in the mix. lol😊

You lost me when you said you used steel wool on the last one. So you didn't compare apples to apples it seems.

I didn't. The internet is a lie 🫠

Absolutely beautiful! Job well done. Than thanks for the info about this piece.

Why no gloves?

Citristrip does have a strong smell to it especially if you have a sensitive nose. It's best to use outside or garage.

Best video on TH-cam and so helpful to me. I am going to restore my rosewood table,quick question, when I stripped the varnish, is there any way to take the color out of the wood and veneer? Thanks a ton

Bondo? Why didn't you use wood glue or a piece of wood cut to size? Bondo is a cop-out. This in itself makes me run. Losing a subscriber because you couldn't be bothered to do it right is not a good idea. Bye!

Amazing work, you did justice to the piece. But you could be a bit more humble - i.e. the "refinishers" comment seemed a little unnecessarily lol. Good luck.

Can you use QCS on a wooden deck?

ha, QCS is out of stock, you should put 3 links for all products

As an amateur i would have stopped at shellac or thought it was the last step. Still trying to figure out what the vinyl sealer and lacquer others do in its order.

Awesome wonderful job! Loved it.❤. Interested in what it would now be worth?

I just came into possession of a Brasilia long dresser and mirror. Overall the finish is in good shape with some minor scratches on the bottom where the wood type appears to be a lighter variety. Could the same products you showed in your video work to restore minor scratches?

One look at the safety data sheet (SDS) for Klean Strip should make clear that safe use of the product requires far more precautions than does safe use of Citistrip. While it might not have methylene chloride, Klean Strip has other hazardous solvents. Control of the hazards, e.g., selecting and obtaining appropriate personal protective requires knowledge and experience beyond that of most people (hobbyists/DIYers). By contrast, the SDS for QCS makes it appear far less hazardous. However, today it is not available from the manufacturer (out of stock). Moreover, I could not find through other outlets, e.g., Lowes, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, Menards, or Hobby Lobby.

I ruined an antique quarter sawn oak table by stripping with citristrip! it stained the wood andI couldn't remove the discoloration. I DO NOT recommend using on anything valuable.

Love citristrip. Did an awesome job with stripping nearly 1000 sq ft hardwood floors.

Thank you for not putting music in your video. I can watch without wanting to turn the volume aaaallll the way down. And very nice work!

Lots of older furniture had shellac finishes and don't require fancy strippers. To check if it's shellac: Dab a little denatured alcohol or lacquer thinner on one section of the wood finish. Try to find an inconspicuous spot. If it is shellac finish, it will liquefy and dissolve. You know it's a lacquer finish if the test spot turns a little white in color. A result of softening without dissolving suggests there is shellac present but that it has been mixed with lacquer as well. Any other response and you're probably looking at a different wood finish. Use the over the shelf strippers for that.

Gorgeous and my favorite piece .

Love your work! your videos are textbook for a newbie, looking forward to seeing more.😊

Do you list the products you used on the pieces you've refinished anywhere?! I'd love to know what to buy if I were to take on a beautiful piece such as this, and follow your steps!! BTW... You've got a subscriber for life!! Love your videos, and have nearly watched them all in mess than a week!

Any recommendations to fix uneven wood darkening after citristrip?

Unfortunately, qcs is exponentially more expensive than the other two!! $35 for 2 8oz bottles is ridiculous.

Absolutely beautiful work on this piece!

You lucky son of a gun. Hey where ya been? Been a while since ya posted. Glad to see ya

citristrip says minimum of 30mins but 24hrs is preferred

Beautiful work.

What brand of the spray shellac do you use?

where do you live?...I have a Plywood wood chair i need help with you..ty

That might be one of the most gorgeous pieces of furniture ever. Is that sheen Mohawk satin?

So helpful! Thank you!

beautiful!

Paint stripper is not effective on side cabinet

CITRISTRIP is actually the worst

What kind of paint do you use for the in painting?

Made us buy the strip well and can confirm this stuff gets the job done well.

How do you fix a blotchy strip after using citristrip? I just found this video. I already stripped twice with citristrip and there's a few areas that where left blotchy and some of the old laquer still on. This is a 100 old chair that I bought on an estate sale very solid but with a very deteriorated finish. Must of the finish came out nicely after citristrip, mineral spirits with wire wool, and washing with a little water with dish soap. After letting it dry in the hot sun of a summer in Texas I noticed that there's still old finish attached, and a very blotchy backrest. I applied the stripper again and it didn't do anything more. How can I fix the blotchiness left by the stripper?

I gotta say that reading the labels on all strippers, including Cirtistrip, and they ALL read the same. They ALL recommend wearing PPE including respirators (not dust masks) and from what I can tell, have pretty much the same VOC. The MSDS for QCS is quite impressive compared to the others, but it's price is no joke.

The cocktail table looks great. Love the comments at the end about oils and polyurethane!

I so appreciate the depth of of your knowledge and commitment. Those Mohawk products are amazing, too.

You mentioned that the sealant does not need to use HVLP sprayer because it comes in cans, but can you brush that same combination on? or does it need to be sprayed in some manner?

This is a beautiful piece and you did a fabulous job.

Can I use QCS on refinishing a wood front door without taking it off the hinges?

Have you ever done Lane Rhythm .. Asking as I cant figure out what color to use?
