Wow and here I was going to do a 3 day project...... Mine are a dark finish so I'll see.... Thanks so much for doing this video if the dark comes off ....... YOU THE MAN lol
I just finish scraping 200 square foot wood floor from the varnish before I sand am dead tired but I have a small spot in the front where is can’t remove you think that will work on wood floor ? Thank you
This is exactly what I was looking for! I have some old trim that I'm reusing that has varnish on it in grooves, and I'm going to have my husband pick up the oven cleaner and try it today. Thank you so so much for the information. Nothing I have in the way of sanding blocks or tools we'll be able to get in the grooves, so I'm hoping this oven cleaner works like it looks like it did for you. Thank you immensely!
This works been doing it for years also works on paint stripped a painted shelf I used it on down to the bare wood beats the hell out of trying to sand it off
I recently decided to take on the laborious task of sanding my pine skirting boards and door frames with a view to staining them a different colour. I have pine boards all through my home, so I'd have been sanding forever! You just made my life so much easier with this hack! Thank you for changing the game. You're a pure legend! ❤
Hi I couldn't see if you have answered this question already so sorry if it's a repeat.. Do know the brand or the active ingredients in the oven cleaner as I am in the UK and want to find the right one. Thanks
Hi, these are all the ingredients. Water, Butane, Sodium Hydroxide, Dipropylene Glycol Propyl Ether, Ethanolamine, Benzyl Alcohol, Smectite Clay, Paraffin Wax, Fragrance. Professional EASY-OFF® Heavy Duty Oven & Grill Cleaner
Since I have posted this, I have been educated by comments and videos about neutralizing the oven spray with vinegar. So, mix 3 parts water to 2 parts vinegar and rinse 2 times. hope this helps and best to you with your project.
@@BTMYYY Because someone will be dumb enough to do this on a toilet that's actually clogged and overflow it. If this works, your toilet wasn't actually clogged.
Did it occur to you to use an oil primer after either a scuff sand or a TSP wash? Heck scuff sand and tsp wash - 19X faster and perhaps in some ways better than going back down to bare wood. As removing that finish will also remove that micro thin veneer of wood that has hardened up over the past century and better able to resist knocks and dents
thank you for offering other methods of how to complete this project. the purpose of this video was to show another way of skinning a cat . as you know, there are many ways to accomplish this. This method is just one of those ways.
I’ve been using acetone on what I thought was a lacquered wood chest… Only to find it might actually be varnish. I’ll update if this works because at this rate it’ll take ages to strip it 🥲
I am not a professional, just some guy on TH-cam. With that said, I would tape off a small section and do a test first . this method just strips the existing finish, so I don't see a problem with you trying it.
You are prepping to paint the doors. Consider that there is no need to remove the old varnish. Method: 1. Clean thoroughly 2. Fill as needed and sand smooth 3. Apply 2 thin coats of shellac based primer, let dry 2 hrs between coats. I was doing 24 doors and all door and window casings so I used a HVLP sprayer to apply. 4. Sand smooth, it will feel like glass 5. Now you are all prepped for painting. You will never have a bleed through of the prior stain by using this method. I went from dark walnut stain to BM Simply White. A lot of work but it it transformed the home.
Please wats the name ??

This is a great idea but how do i remove the oven cleaner residue before painting, usually in an oven we just run the clean cycle.
by washing door with cold water. changing water frequently. also, someone commented that adding some vinegar to the water nuetrilzed the oven cleaner.
Thanks, Mike, this is brilliant. I'm so glad I found your post after reading so many that sounded so tedious. You're a genius! Thanks from Oz 👌🙂
@TheChickenn08 Good luck with your project.

Hi! I have a black painted bed frame which the varnish is peeling off, could this method mess with the paint underneath the varnish?
yes, it will .
Wow even though this was done 6 years ago. I am so happy I found this before I started my next project.....

So using this method can you still stain after stripping or just for paint?
definitely, you can stain.

How do you remove the residue though before priming and painting? How many times would you have to rinse it with water to be sure?
Since I have posted this, I have been educated by comments and videos about neutralizing the oven spray with vinegar. So, mix 3 parts water to 2 parts vinegar and rinse 2 times. hope this helps and best to you with your project.

You a gooroe my friend thanks for the advice
Is this method ok if I don't want to paint over it. I have an oak dining room table that I want to strip and then I want to put danish oil on it? 😊

@@2mikeherzog Ah yeah that make sense 🙂
That's awesome! Thankyou!
Would you use the oven cleaner on the rest of the door as well, on the flat areas?
yes, u can on , I sanded the flat areas because I used wood filler on some areas.
Whata Guy , ,Cheers Buddy
Wow. Oven cleaner huh.
Great tip! I'm hoping this will work on the old bureau mirror I picked out of a dumpster.
This did not work for me. 60 years of varnish 😢
Going to try this today!
Wow......good show

hi. Do you think it will remove stain from wood ? Please reply
No, it will not because stain penetrates the wood pores. you would need to use a sander, and I would start with a 60 grit sand paper .
@@2mikeherzog Thanks
After the oven cleaner some TSP may be a good idea to clean it.
yes , also a comment mentioned to wipe wood down with vinegar and water solution to neutralize the cleaner.
After I do this, do I need to prep it to paint or re-varnish?
yes I waited 72 hrs for wood to dry use 220 grit sand paper with orbital sander, and use 000 steel wool to sand hard to reach areas.
Thank you for this, looking forward to trying it!
You are so welcome!
