JellyBaby Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Hi! I've just finished stripping paint from a body. However I'm having trouble removing paint from within the wood grain of a thin veneer. What's the best way of completly removing the pain from the grain? I've tried wire wool which worked to an extent but not completly. I then tried wet and dry with a little bit of paint stripper, this didn't really work at all. I'm now thinking of using some very fine sand paper again with a small amount of stripper so I don't end up taking off the veneer.. is this the way to go, or is there a better method? Also, can anyone advise me on which grain filler / wood sealer or whatever to use before I start painting and where the best place in the UK is to buy it from. Many Thanks! Nick Quote
Asmo Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Hi, I found Briwax sealer, it worked really well and is widely available. You can get a grain filler from Craft Supplies, they sell the Rustins for £2.75. Good luck! Quote
JellyBaby Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Posted July 30, 2007 awesome thank you very much I think I just need that rustins natural grain filler as I'll be painting over the top with translucent paint. Quote
