Wood Furniture - Paint Stains


Never use paint remover or strong chemicals to
dissolve paint. They may cause extensive damage to the
finish. Wipe off water-thinned paints with wet cloth.
Wipe surface immediately with dry cloth to prevent water
damage to finish. Caution: water will make shellac finish
sticky.

Remove fresh oil-base paint by rubbing the spot with
a cloth saturated in liquid solvent-base wax.

For paint stains that have dried, cover the spot with
boiled linseed oil. Let stand until softened; then remove
with a cloth dampened with boiled linseed oil. If any
paint remains, remove with rottenstone and oil, using the
same procedure as prescribed for alcohol stains; or
gently scrape off paint with stiff cardboard, a plastic
bowl scraper, or a fingernail.
