I FOUND A STRIPPER! FINALLY!

Just an FYI.

I am always unwilling to strip for a client. I'll do it for myself, but that's 'cause time and money aren't as important then.

I only said "yes" this time, because it was for a friend I've known since we were 11. He lives in a 100 yr old house with casings and moldings with profiles on top of profiles.

Peel Away #6 is my new best friend. Not entirely easy breezy, but the best yet. No elbow at all, just gentle scraping with proflie scrapers and I got off 4 layers of paint and at least as many coats of varnish(es). $60 a gal. Worth it all.

But I'm still never gonna tell another client that I can strip for them, too. Family and friends only.

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
