Best Paint Stripper for Kitchen Cabinets?

Posted by on November 23, 2008, 6:25 pm

I plan on buying replacement doors for my kitchen cabinets. Any
recommendations as to the best product to use to strip the two or more
layers of paint a previous owner applied to the cabinet sides and
underneath? The paint on the doors themselves isn't an issue since
they'll be discarded.

A sander. You don't need to take it all off, just get it nice and
smooth for the next coat.

Are you staining or repainting? If staining and you need to remove
the paint the Zip Strip works well. If you are repainting then just
use a deglosser and/or sand it smooth.

I should have added that I want to get all the paint off and stain the
cabinets' natural wood and new unfinished doors together.

What is Zip Strip.....some kind of liquid or jelly paint stripper
product?
