It may be that there is still some of the previous oil on the wood that is preventing the paint from curing, and if this is the case then you will need to sand back and remove this oil.

For removing Oil I would recommend wiping down with White Spirit using the green pad as before. Shellac can be used as a base coat for French Polishes or Lacquers or as a finish in its own right. I hope that helps and if you have any questions I will be happy to help. Feel free to email me at wood finishes.

I have sanded a table right back to the wood. Want to paint it now with an acrylic based paint. Do I need to use an under coat? Secondly would I sand between undercoat and paint.

Again a test area is strongly recommended. Have a look at those products and if you have any further questions please do let me know.

Great blog, thank you. I have purchased a second hand cot for our impending arrival. How would you recommend I bring it back to life? Is dipping then varnishing an option? I would recommend sanding off the current paint, particularly if you are not sure of what product it is.

As your baby gets older you may find that they chew or bite areas of the cot teething I know from experience , so whatever you have on there needs to be child safe. The less chemicals used the better and the Osmo Ranges are both child and food safe.

For a clear natural finish you could look at the Osmo Polyx Oil , which will protect and seal the wood. There are also colour options in the Polyx Oil Tints range , which can give a fresh feel to the wood. I recently had the inside of my house painted.

The painter got some paint on my wooden window frames Where he painted the walls. What would you suggest that I buy to remove the paint? Depending on how much is there and what the paint is, you can try wiping down with warm soapy water and a Finishing Pad. If this does not work, try White Spirit , but beware that this may strip whatever you have on the frames under the paint. Alternatively, you could gently sand off the paint using a high grit Sandpaper. The final option is a stripper, such as PeelAway Paint Remover , but again, depending on what is on your frames currently, this could also strip that.

Do let me know if you have any further questions. The floors upstairs were carpeted and we decided to get the wood floors refinished. The carpet has been ripped up and the original floors are pine.

Any marks or stains can simple be sanded back and patch repaired very easily as the oil will blend. The standard door oil will darken the wood and enhance the grain to give what we call the wet look, wiping a damp cloth over the bare wood will show you how much you can expect the wood to darken.

For a more natural finish you could have a look at the Osmo Door Oil Raw this has a small amount of white pigment in it to counteract the darkening, but is not ideal for dark woods or hardwoods.

Test areas are strongly recommended and if you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask. Hello, I foolishly painted a dressing table with Annie Sloan chalk paint and hate it.

Any ideas greatly received. Many Thanks Nicky. Its quite a simple process as the paint is water based. If it has been waxed you can remove the wax by wiping down with White Spirit and a sponge. This process may well start to remove the paint as well. When all the wax is removed you can continue to scrub with water and a sponge and the paint will come away fairly easily.

Be careful not to scrub to much as the paint will start to stain the grain of the wood and make sanding a little harder. Once you have washed off as much paint as you can the wood should be allowed to dry and then sanded. And then it will be ready to treated to create your desired finish.

Peelway 7 on the carvings proved very successful, but not on the uncarved uprights. These are quite deep grained oak which holds the old paint and no amount of Peelaway 7 or indeed another stripper will actually lift it out. Would the Panther Paint Stripper and a bristle brush be a better option. Yes, the Paint Panther Paint and Varnish Remover is most definitely worth a try as it is a far superior product to many others. Test areas are strongly advised as with all products and if you have any other questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Hi, I had a new European oak front door and frame fitted last year. Decided to stain it using Sikkens Ebony. What are the chances of getting the door back to natural? You could have a look at using the PeelAway Sample Pack. This is a very successful stripper of paints and varnishes, but test areas are essential to see which of the products will be best for your project. And some light sanding may be necessary.

Have a read up on the product that I have recommended and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

It is difficult to remove one treatment with out removing another as most strippers will not determine between the two. Depending on the paint you may be able to scrubb that off with warm water and detergent or light sanding but again there is no guarantee that this will not affect the varnish underneath.

Are you able to take back to bare wood and then re treat with another varnish? I have an old horse drawn wagon that I am hoping to strip and re-paint. I think that peel away 1 is going to be my best bet for stripping, however; what would you suggest I utilize to preserve the wood. We live in a dry climate and I can see where the wood is beginning to crack. A good preservative, such as Barrettine Premier Wood Preservative , would be my first recommendation to help protect the wood from mould, mildew and rot.

And then an oil, such as Manns Premier UV Decking Oil which, although made for decking, would be suitable for your project. If the wood is particularly dry then it may take more than the guide states and a test area is always recommended. Have a look at these products and if you have any other questions please do not hesitate to get in touch. You could have a look at one of our strippers Paint Panther Paint and Varnish Remover , which is a quick and effective stripper that will make the varnish bubble up for scraping off with a Filler Knife.

A light sand may be required to prepare the wood once stripped and then you could look at products for treating the door. I would recommend an oil that will give an opaque finish, such as Osmo Country Colour.

This will not peel and flake over time like many paints will and can just have a fresh coat re applied when you feel the wood needs it. Hi,I have good quality nest of tables painted only one coat chalk paint. I would like the strip the paint,sand and repaint again.

These are strippers for paint and varnish that can be used for quite specific detail as it is a thick poultice. It is likely that you will only need the Peelaway 7 and test areas will show how much and for how long you need to leave it on the area to be striped.

Do let me know how you get on or if you have any further questions. I recently painted cupboard doors. It took 2 solid coats. There was already another color underneath.

I need to take as much of the paint off as possible. We have two great strippers on the website the first is the Paint Panther Paint and Varnish Remover , which is a fast working stripper that makes the paint bubble up to be scraped off. And the second is the Peelaway Paint Remover , which is a poultice that you can leave on for hours, depending on test area results, and will then peel away taking layers of paint with it.

Always try a test area first and if you have any other questions or need advise on the right product to use once you have stripped your doors, feel free to get in touch. Thanks sounds exactly what I am looking for.

Once I had removed the wax I will either varnish the ceiling if the colour looks OK or if it is darker than I want I was thinking of a white wash that would let the graining of the wood show. Any advice on suitable products. Have you any suggestions for removing wax from a ceiling so that I could then put a colour wash on?

Woodleys Wax and Polish Remover is great for such projects. For a product to apply colour, that would depend on if you want an opaque or translucent finish. What wood you are applying it too and how you are going to prepare the wood. I would like a matte or semi matte finish. Many thanks for any advice. To start you could carry out an oil test, this is simply putting a small drop of oil vegetable or olive oil from the kitchen cupboard will do onto the surface for an hour to see how it reacts.

If it remains unmoved on the surface you have a varnish or lacquer that will prevent oil from being absorbed. If the oil moves or soaks in then you have an oil or a wax on there, this will help to determine what product you will be able to use once clean.

Bare in mind that if you have oil or wax on the surface, the White Spirit may remove some of this. So from this point, if you have established what product is on the cabinet and it is clean, then you can choose Fiddes Hard Wax Oil if you have an oil or bare surface, or Manns Extra Tough Interior Varnish if you have a varnished surface.

But always try a test area first with either product to ensure that you like the finish that you are going to achieve. And please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any further questions.

We have two very good strippers that you could have a look at and I would recommend test areas first with both or either products that you use. The first is Paint Panther Paint and Varnish Remover which is a quicker, although somewhat messier treatment that should make the paint bubble up to be scraped off.

The alternative is Peelaway Sample Pack , which is a poultice that you leave on for hours and then peel away with the paint. I hope that helps and good luck with your project.
