Guys, this wall paint was TOO EASY to remove from this dresser! I LOVE Citristrip. It always works great. But, this time the paint peeled off incredibly fast AND all in one piece. That's not normal.
I made some mistakes when I painted this furniture 10 years ago.

Thanks for your videos! I have a tall piece where the shelves are removable glass shelves, but the four front & back posts are wood with grooves in them all the way down. Any thoughts on how I can easily strip the paint off, grooves and all? I can't see how a putty knife would work like in this video? Thanks

Any advice for handling it on pieces that can't be moved? My bathroom cabinetry is firmly set into the tile and the wall and holds the sink/counter up. I can take off the doors, but what should I do about the sides that are vertical? Won't the citrus strip run down and pool at the bottom? How can I keep it concentrated when it's vertical?

You can skip the saran wrap by just taking a spray bottle of water and misting the stripper a few times. The stripper works much faster as well 👍

Do you need to leave it on longer for multiple layers of paint? I need to remove 6 layers! 😅

Is that the 1 qt. or the 64 oz. Citristrip your using? Have you ever used Goof Off? Thanks

Should use an enamel paint not a wall paint. Oil based will last the longest. Also tape off non painted areas for best results.

NO, NEVER USE FOAM BRUSH FOR PAINT STRIPPER! it will immediately start deteriorating the foam and shredding it all over your project.

[hhgldesigns]

Use door and trim paint / furniture paint not wall paint. But the plastic idea is a good one.

Citristrip eats the foam brushes. FYI.
