Can you imagine that in Laboratories they make beagle dogs wear a mask while inhaling oven cleaner until they die. 😢
I thought the before was the after 😂
Your beautiful as you are!! You don't need makeup!!
I use oven cleaner wait 30 min then use soap and water. Then reapply
@1:44 😊
Damn. I have diarrhea!
Great video- thanks for toughing it out. LOL, we'll just save the EZoff for the oven!
Getting ready to strip kitchen cabinets, and am excited to try the saran wrap part of it to keep it all moist. I haven't done that before with Citristrip, and I know it will work even on the vertical parts of the cabinet frames that I'm leaving in place to strip. Thanks for doing this video!
Very beautiful, and how come u dint put any tape and did amazing work
Black looks nice
I like them but I have a helluva time peeling off the paper without taking the sticky stuff along with the paper, and I’m left with no sticky stuff on the felt 😖
I’m obsessed ❤ running to get paint new subie
You talk to much
I have always had zero results from both the oven cleaner and the Citri stripper. My chemical of choice that works very well is Strip-Eze. It has never failed me.
I turn so red when I get hot. People always ask me if I’m ok 😂 Yep. I’m fine. My skin just thinks I’m dying. 😂
this was super helpful thank you!
Beautiful piece; I love your color choices!
I have Light Biscuit color.which one should i use to get Bone white color
Sanding smaller pieces is relaxing and fun. I wish I had a shirt that says, " SANDING IS MY CARDIO". I have used citri-strip and it works well to get most of the old fi ish off. I removed two layers of pain t with it. Good product. I don't even use oven cleaner on my oven----too toxic.
If you like sanding you can find work with any wood worker. We all hate it. :)
Save yourself time and money. Use Savogran Kutzit Paint and Varnish Remover instead. I tried liquid sandpaper and Citristrip, both of which didn't work.
Labor of love. Nice job.
I enjoyed watching you strip……haha…….I bought my first project today and I sure hope it will be worth the hassle……thanks so much for your help…..👍👍
Why would you start stripping without any makeup on? 😆😆😆😆 jk jk jk it's a great informative video. Thanks.
Hahaha, you are welcome!
If you have money to spare there's also non-toxic QCS that you spray (and no added minerals needed).
Sounds like I need to try that. Thanks
@@FurnitureRefinishingAcademy I myself never tried it yet, but saw recent YT vids of it during my own research.
Great video! Ty
Thanks for watching!
All that chemical water going into the ground 😢
Using a metal brush doesnt scratch the surface?
Different metal brishes have different firmness. Different woods are softer than others. It also depends on the pressure you apply. With hard wood, you can use a soft metal brush with medium to light pressure. Plastic brushes often are too soft.
What do mineral spirits do exactly?
They clean off the residue.
I use a concoction of caustic soda (Draino), water and some corn starch to make a quite effective paint stripper. Been using it for years and does quite well. There are different recipes found on the Internet. Try the different ones to see what works best for you.
Very interesting. I may have to try that.
I think you should have probably also wrapped the oven cleaner-for the same reason you wrapped the gel remover -it probably would have worked better 👍🏼
At the time this was filmed I watched every video and read blog on this method, and none of them suggested this. I was trying to follow the method that was being promoted at the time. I would love to try it again with the regular oven cleaner and the plastic wrap however... I am sure the cost break down won't change much.
Do you use an specific design software before start decorating your furniture or you just be creative on the go ?
I do not use specific software, but I do a sketch or even just color it on the digital photo on my phone. I just taught a class for my VIP Members on how to create a mock-up in detail for clients as well as a simple mock-up for myself.
The iron man mark 6 suit was awesome! Do you still have this 11 years later?
Thank you. It took 3 months to build. Sadly No, we dont have the entire suit anymore, we just kept the helmet. We are a military family, and the movers destroyed it one time by not packing it correctly.
You’ve created a beautiful outdoor space !
Thank you! 😊
It’s the HEB bag for me 💜
HEB all the way!
Personally I would never flush bare wood furniture with a water hose. Warps, cracks, loose glue joints, seals. Just me of course.
Understandably. It's always good to be cautious. These, however, had 0 issues. It's not something I would do on every piece, though. Not to mention the extreme heat that day help them dry very quickly. Thank uou for your comment.

I just got home from doctors and cvs I’m exhausted so I’m taking a nap then I’m getting up to go to store
Feel better. Rest is always good.
After watching about 10 paper bag floor videos, yours is the best- the color, patter and sparkle is what i am looking for!
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for this video. You were thorough and I think you look great without makeup!
You are so welcome! And Thank you!
Looks great
Thanks so much!
question please? I believe the stained paper is slightly damp w/stain then glued on? I am going to try this on my she shed. I have OSB type flooring and I believe the glue will attach perfectly fine. thank you for the lesson learned and sharing.
Yes, correct... kind of. It is not damp with stain. It absorbs the moisture in the glue. The stain is dry. Hope this helps.
Your presentation was perfect thx for the info
Glad it was helpful!
The Chemical free world is always beneficial. Thanks for the info.
You bet. Thanks for watching.
I like how you attempted to control the variables. I might be wrong, but it looked like to me that you scraped off the citristrip top but didn't scrape off any of the oven cleaner table top. If you'd scraped off the oven ckeaner top, too, this would truly be a real apples to apples comparison. As it is, it's not quite a true comparison. Yet, I'm thankful you did what you did. There's a great amount of knowledge in it, so, thanks again 😊
Thank you for your input. Oven cleaner doesn't cone with stripping directions. I did research with all the available info online and did the recommended method of removal at the time this video was posted.
Great video ❤ Thanks for your tips
You are so welcome!
Soooooo you not going to count using the putty knife and then having to use the mineral spirits??? Plus the price for both? Think oven cleaner is the best option according to your vid. Thanks for posting
Mineral spirits can be supplemented with a water clean-up. It's optional. Plastic putty knives are $.33 at the dollar store in a pack of 3 for $1
I really appreciate you doing the experiment it was fun to watch. I always thought that citrus strip said to clean it up with water instead of mineral spirits? I guess it works with both
Looks awesome 😊 What grit sandpaper did you use?
220 grit
Pathetic you didn’t let us get a long enough look at the finish
Okay I will keep that in mind for the next video. Thanks for your feed back.
How about stripping an old desk that has drawers, spindle legs, etc? It's from the 20-30s and has the black finish over the pretty wood. How shall I start?
Start with stripper and use a 000 steel wool pad to work around those curves. Rince or clean up according to your strippers directions.
