Removing **** from fireplace mantel molding?
alioophereicome asked:
I was refinishing a fireplace mantel. First I tried staining but didn't like it so I stripped it and then painted it. However there is molding and I couldn't get all of the **** of the stain out. So I tried to paint over it and it looks awful. Any help with trying to get the **** of the stain and paint out of a rope like molding would be much appreciated.

Cheapest method: slather up the molding with paint stain remover, let set for 10 minutes, and then hit it with a toothbrush. Repeat until clean.
Easier method: Slather up the molding with Peel Away, cover with paper, let sit overnight, and peel everything away. Costs about $30 per gallon plus $5 for the paper.
Easiest method: unless this is some kind of valuable historic antique molding, why don't you buy some new stuff instead? You can probably find what you need at a millworks yard (NOT big box hardware store).
