Thanx for posting this video. You gave me insight and info I didn’t get from other oven cleaner stripping video’s. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for showing this because I have a piece like this that I wanted to do and I see ir may not work. I REALLY appreciate you showing the realness of doing on this type of material wood.

It’s nice to see a video where the poster work through how a technique may or may not work and why. So many videos are just sped up versions of success stories without any background or possible pitfalls. Gonna follow you and see your work. Thanks!!

Thank you for sharing. As someone getting ready to strip my first of furniture I now have better expectations of what can happen rather than being scared that I’ve ruined a piece of furniture if it doesn’t come out like the perfect video. I’m more excited to try now. I also will be working with mahogany and have been nervous about ruining the furniture.

I was able to keep some furniture of the home I rent, and one of those pieces is a TV stand that has kinda the same finish as your table. Now that I was able to buy some of my own stuff the TV stand doesn't really match. I will definitely give it a try though.

I just finished my FOURTH coat of traditional strippers on a small mahogany table. Two of Citristrip (worthless) and two of Klean Strip (better but super stinky). The finish is still not gone and I even left a coat on overnight sealed in Saran. I've spent over $30 on strippers. I'm going to try this in the morning.

Do you once oven cleaner applied if covered with saran wrap it'd work better?

[mimiturbano]

So if the furniture has lacquer I guess I could light sand the top?

[sheryldseabrook]

Please keep me posted on what works because I'm trying to find the best method for this type wood.

[randyman]

I’m just guessing, but I bet that piece of furniture is covered in lacquer as the finish. That being the case, you need to wipe it down with lacquer thinner first, otherwise it will take tons of oven cleaner to cut it completely.

[Christianduke-bn]

I use it, should have covered in saran wrap for 1 hour to prevent it from drying.

[chattykathie]

My can didnt to say shake. Maybe that’s why mine didn’t foam and it didn’t spray very well.

[waunetag.]

So it's ok to spray such a large surface at once?

[rebeccacallaghan]

I’ve watched ppl try the fume free one and it doesn’t work like the really strong smelly version unfortunately

[chattykathie]

It’s 19 degrees here can I do it outside?? In the cold?

[tarynhofert]

pretty sure oven cleaner is used on painted furniture to remove paint not stained and lacquered pieces?

[waunetag.]

Welp. I'm ready 2 strip kitchen cabinets today. They do have polyurethane as a top coat

[fuuuuuuuism]

You definitely didn’t do this right. You didn’t saturate it Neely enough. It should be completely covered in a thick layer of white.

I'm on plan... R... trying to get the caked on grease and varnish off these nasty ass cabinets in this filthy condo I just rented. I've tried TSP, Dawn, Baking Soda/Vinegar, Heat Gun, 3 brands of degreaser, Wheel/Tire cleaner... ugh. I hate this. I cannot even get to the painting step, because I don't know how to clean this filth.

[Kamikaze]

Not worth the effort and is toxic, regardless of what the product may say.
