How do I remove the finish from carvings, grooves, and spindles?
To get into small cracks, corners, grooves, and decorative carvings, use a 2-3″ wide paint trim brush. The cheap, white bristled models work well. Cut the bristles to toothbrush length (about 1/2″ long), dip in WWD Refinisher, and work into the crack. You can use a toothbrush, but it is not as effective as it doesn’t have as many bristles. To get the finish out of turned spindles and rungs, use course twine such as macrame rope or baling twine, or women’s nylon hosiery. Wet the twine or hosiery in WWD Refinisher and work it into the groove in a back and forth motion.
