Citristrip & Saran Wrap to Remove Finishes

I use cheap ol’ Saran Warp.

Making sure I push all the air out and push it into all the nooks & crannies.

I leave it for 12-24 hrs.

Come back a day later and the magic has happened!

It turns the previous varnish, stain or paint into light powder like substance. It’s not the gooey, sticky Citristrip substance that you get when you don’t wait a day or so to remove.


I use 50/50 D-natured alcohol/H20 & a soft bristle tooth brush to remove excess Citristrip.
I then set the table in the sun for a few hrs to dry out. Took my 180 grit sand paper and smoothed it out with my sander.

A coat of wood conditioner that I make (50/50 Shellac/D-natured alcohol) & let it dry. The seal with General Finishes Arm-R-Seal.
