Beginner here-How to strip (by hand or with sander) and paint (or stain) old dresser set to look good?
I need your ideas! I looking for a hobby! Thanks!
Depends on the finish you are looking for. Many people, like a distressed finish, you may already have that. If you want a distressed finish, but different color (s), just cleaned thoroughly to remove dirt and wax {which is used depends on how bad it is embedded, the use of TSP (trisodium phosphate) solution if it is too bad, that will also help to de-gloss finish for the new finish correctly adhers}, rinse, dry and start applying the finish paint (use a manual if you do not want any of the above colors to show through). To get a smooth paint finish, instead of trouble, you may need to strip the old paint with a chemical stripper that if the old finish has a lot of chips that would give a roughness to their unintended refinishing. But if only there are some places like rough, hand sand those smooth edges. After any sanding or chemical stripping, be sure to clean good (if chemically stripped, stripper follow the instructions for cleaning off). Strippers are a bit messy and somewhat dangerous to use (the degree of disorder and danger depends on the particular product, if you decide to go this route, talk to a professional in the paint department, you may need to talk to several before finding one that feels knows what he / she 's talking about.) After sanding / disassembly and cleaning, apply a primer, followed by the top coat color. Some informants, demand your question good results with staining, but it is usually difficult to get the pores of the wood clean paint well enough to get a job, stains and even more so difficult to get the pores clean enough to accept a deep stain on the finish is dark. I suggest you ask your friends experience and someone asks to look at your project to help analyze the best route for you. One last comment, if you have many peaks (sizes, for example) will have much more work to clear them for paint stains. LOL
