Evening all!
Quick question - how easy or hard is it to remove paint from wood.
I'm thinking of buying an old box on ebay, but I don't like it's current finish. The paint looks to be old and chipped and (honestly!) very ugly.
I'd prefer to take it back to wood and varnish/polish/oil (something), or if the wood was crappy repaint something a bit nicer.

Oven cleaner ,spray on and leave a few minutes then wash of with cloth and water

ooh. that's a clever idea! I might go ahead and bid on the box knowing it could be that easy!
To remove paint and refinish is quite tough work.
You can remove a resolved paint by using a paint thinner, but if it is not work you need a chemical stripper.
You also need to re sand until you get the bare wood to get best result before you do your refinishing process.
Good luck
