Ron's Cabinet Work for the 2018 Season
#29

So...after using the paint stripper on the sides, bottom trim, and the trim that goes from top center almost to the escutcheon...and then washing it off with acetone...here is how the 66B looks now:

A big difference from how it did look!

The paint stripper did not remove every trace of paint, but it did remove a majority of the stuff. Acetone is taking care of the residue. I think after two or three more washings, the 66B will be ready for sanding and sealing.

P.S. The butyl rubber gloves I bought a week or two ago are holding up quite well so far (knocking on wood). Icon_smile
