Painted Wood
How do you remove oil paint from painted wood?

The wood has been primed, the works. It is a desk that is painted white that I do all of my artwork on.

OUCH…

As a professional woodworker turned artist 20 years ago I know the properties of wood and paint. I still work with wood and hopefully this isn’t a nice desk that someone decided to paint… Just can’t stand great wood like walnut or oak with paint… Arrrr…..

Here is a product that pulls even the toughest paint stains out. It may destroy the paint on the desk though. I really doubt it. Since the desk has been painted a long time longer than the stuff on top I’d try Crazy clean. I’ve used it on my workbench. (Which is painted particleboard.)

They use this stuff to remove graffiti on buildings… It even removes permanent marker…. Large can is $5.00

Once you clean this I would suggest getting a piece of ¼” birch plywood and sanding a nice edge and let it overlap by just a little on the front and covering the desk area… Leave it natural if you want or take some Johnson’s paste wax and wax the wood up…
