What happens here

Once the paint stripper has adequately softened the old finish (it will appear bubbly or softened), use a plastic scraper or putty knife to gently scrape away the loosened material. Work in the direction of the wood grain to avoid scratching the wood. Collect the scraped residue on a disposable surface.

Goal: Remove the bulk of the old finish after stripping

Tools and materials

  • Plastic scraper — Removing softened finish from the wood
  • Disposable surface — Collecting waste material from scraping

So we've got our smipper on, it's been on, got it. He probably geared with the upper tech itself, but not sprained, I think. You have to be really careful about y'all using some safety iron. It's not very good.
