Have a new guy question.
I'm trying to strip 30 year old black paint from wood. I have been soaking the items in liquid paint stripper from the hardware store.
I notice that when I strip the paint it almost seems to stain the wood and even with some sanding there is still a lot of black residue that penetrated the wood.
Did I essentially "stain" the wood by letting it soak for 30-45 minutes? Should I be applying the stripper and then trying to wipe it away in just a few minutes?
