paint stripping

Hi guys, i no this subject has been covered some time ago i seem to recall but has any one come up with a product that almost certanly revomes paint besides haveing it diped. And how do you gett the paint out of the grain, you no those little flakes of paint? Weve tryed most of the paint strippers on the market and all so the heat gun and at best the heat gun works just a little better but we are still left with the little flakes of paint in the grain . We wish to shelllac the said items when finished. Any suggestion help would be great ta..

Sounds to me like your trying to strip back old window frames? If so - repaint em... http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/wink.gif

In general I have found that painted furniture is very easy to strip and very rarely paint will remain in the grain, if it does then it was originally painted from day one (in general).

Sorry, theres no magical cure to the problem, and if you get a piece of furniture dipped your making a bad choice..

Cheers!
