i wasnt sure where to ask this question, so if this is the wrong group i
apologize in advance.

i have a 4 drawer dresser chest....and it has at least 2 layers of paint
on it.

my question is, what is the best way to remove the paint....
would using a random orbital sander be best?

or some type of paint on stripper? if so what kind?

i live in an apartment so i would have to do this outside and dont want
to risk killing the grass with some type of stripper. but also i dont
want to use a sander if it wont work

thanks in advance everyone

You know, I just saw an infomercial for an all-natural, odorless paint
stripper on TV the other night. Sorry, but that's all I have for you.
Stripping will be your best bet in an apartment. This stuff scrapes off
like a jell with the paint trapped in it. The sanding will leave a huge
mess everywhere.

The paint stripper you want is called Ready Strip. It has nothing castic
in it, no fumes. Goes on green when ready to take off turns white. works
great.

You CAN'T find it at Lowes or Hd. Call around to regular paint stores.
Not cheap. comes in a 1/2 gallon plastic bucket.

It would work well in your apartment.
