Whats the best way to rub/clean down varnished spindles ready to paint over with white gloss. Some of the varnish is peeling off in certain places.

Webrax willl be fine for providing a key.

Sandpaper for the flacking bits- time consuming work though.

Dont forget undercoat!
 
Thx for quick reply, but what is webrax?

Its the green stuff on the back of the kitchen sponge- you can get different grades.

I recommended it because it will mold to the shape of the spindles
