What is the best way to paint a hardwood floor?
There are a couple of ways to remove paint from furniture, but the easiest and less time consuming is paint stripper/ remover. Just remember to wear latex gloves and eye protection. If these products can dissolve paint just think what they could do to your eyes and skin. Here is how I strip paint, varnish, polyurethane or nearly anything else from wood surfaces. First, go to your local home store and pick up the following items you will need for stripping paint from furniture. 1. A can of paint stripper. Look, or ask for the gel type of stripper. It tends to stick to the furniture much better than the liquid type. 2. You will need lots and lots of rags so just buy one of the small bags or boxes your home store carries. 3. A stiff plastic putty knife approximately 2 inches wide for scraping the stipper off. 4. A small disposable paint brush for spreading the stripper. Be sure to give yourself plenty of space for working on your project with a lot of newspapers underneath to catch the excess stripper. The biggest mistake people make when stripping furniture is not giving the stripper enough time to work effectively. After you apply a good, heavy coat of paint stripper leave the project alone for at least 30 minutes. You'll know if the right amount of time has passed because to paint will come right off. If not, and because you lost patience, then it can become a nightmare. Two basic things to remember: patients and lots of stripper.

The paint itself will not damage the wood, but make sure that the paint is of an exterior grade.

Worst case scenario you can use a paint stripper to take the paint off then sand the wood and it'll look like it did before painting.

While painting your countertop with melamine paint you accidentally spashed on a wood pillar and am having difficulty removing it?
Melamine is a urethane reinforced oil-based paint. You will have to use a commercial stripper. Your best bet is to read on your particular brand of paint's label for clean-up methods and see what they recommend. Varsol has been recommended for removing melamine paint. There are several other brands available. Be sure to ask for a stripper for melamine paint and be sure to tell them you are removing it from wood. Be advised that the wood finish may be damaged and will require refinishing. If the area is not too conspicuous, you may be able to accomplish this with a small spot treatment. Worst case, you'll have to refinish the entire pillar.
