why oh why when people strip finishes do they not use paint stripper. You can buy an eco stripper water based thats harmless, no burns, no odours - just brush it on in a thick coat on ALL the skirting, leave it from 30mins to a hour or so, go have a cup of tea, come back and scrape the soft paint off with a paint scraper then repeat until stripped. Supplier is Natech (in Staffs I think) sandings effective but boy what a job
actually edit that, sanding a finish off can wreck the job if you are finishing with a clear varnish.....
What a load of cobblers. Stripper is awful stuff and the water based stuff is useless.
