Have recently moved into a new house and I think the previous owner painted the stairs with their eyes closed - there are huge runs everywhere including on the base rails, spindles, newels and so on.
I want to repaint to white gloss so what is my best option? Am not sure sandpaper will be suitable as there is so much physical paint in the runs and I am worried about ending up with different levels on the surface from major rubbing and it will be a marathon job especially with all the edges.
Would a heatgun be an option? I fear the only option will be to strip all the paint off but I dont want to use chemicals if I can avoid it due to our little boy.
