Chemical paint stripper is a powerful solvent that can effectively remove layers of paint from teak outdoor furniture. To use it, first, apply a thick coat of the stripper onto the painted surface using a paintbrush or roller. Allow the stipper to sit for the recommended amount of time, usually around 15-30 minutes, to penetrate and soften the paint.
Once the paint begins to bubble or lift, use a scraper or putty knife to gently scrape away the softened paint. Be careful not to gouge or damage the teak wood underneath. For stubborn areas or multiple layers of paint, you may need to repeat the process or use a finer-grade sandpaper to remove any remaining residue.
After the paint has been removed, thoroughly clean the teak outdoor furniture with a mixture of soap and water to eliminate any residual chemicals. Finally, finish by applying a teak sealant or oil to protect the wood and restore its natural beauty. With patience and proper technique, using a chemical paint stripper can effectively restore your teak outdoor furniture to its original state.
