Refinish stained kitchen table
-
Shannon on Jul 02, 2015If your finish were truly varnish, it would come off with the stripper. You might have polyurethane or some other non-varnish coating on there. More sanding should take it off.Helpful Reply

Kendra B on Jul 03, 2015make sure you are using the proper stripper. I always leave mine on for 5 minutes longer than the can says. It then comes off easily.Helpful Reply

Rhonda on Jul 03, 2015I'm in the process of refinishing an oak table top for a friend. I used my mouse sander to remove the varnish - first used 220 grit then a once over with 120. After COMPLETE removal stained with Minwax Gunstock - 2 coats. Getting ready to put the finish coat on. Looks like new. Good luck.Helpful Reply
