Hi
This weekend I attempted to remove the paint from our stair strings, back to bare wood.
I used a heat gun, which got through 2 layers of paint, but didn't budge the last coat - a white coat.
I then tried Nitromors, which got through the same 2 layers, but even this didn't touch this last white coat.
The only way I could get rid of this last white coat was to sand it off.
Does anyone know what this coat could have been, or how I can get rid of it without having to sand the whole lot?
The Newel posts didn't have this layer on them, and I got back to the wood in no time.
Many Thanks
