I'm doing some intro woodworking projects and need a good chemical
stripper that easy to clean up, will not interfere with sanding, and low
toxity level.
thanks

Use the orange stuff ("Citristrip" or equivalent). Made from citrus
oils, very effective, non-toxic, even smells nice. Expen$ive but worth it.
For small items you can soak (typically metal parts, like hinges, pulls,
etc.), there's always brake fluid. It works slowly, but most paint will
dissolve in it if left for 24-48 hours.

They're all toxic.
Best cheapest ones are methylene chloride based. Vile as they
smell, they're mainly toxic to certain strains of white lab mice in
California. Minimize exposure by working outdoors, upwind.

Not the citrus-derived ones.

Nope. Methylene chloride is a human carcinogen. Stay away from it!

Which gave me a splitting headache and made me feel
slightly drunk. Great at stripping lacquer from some old
Thomasville chairs I refinished, but far from benign.
