After purchasing an old dresser at an auction, I decided to give this a try.  I wanted to scrape it but was afraid to damage the wood. I still had my doubts, but the paint just peeled right up. By tomorrow, I should be able to clean up all of the paint, then a quick power wash to remove the residue and I’m ready to varnish the original wood, hopefully for the last time. I’ve never used a paint remover before, but I can’t imagine one working better than this.
