REMOVING DARK STAIN OFF KITCHEN CABINETSMessage: Hi, I am trying to refinish my kitchen cabinets. They have a very dark stain on them. I tried several chemical strippers but the wood does not get very light. Is there something I can use to help lighten the wood. I would like to have cabinets in a golden or light cherry colors....Help |

RE: REMOVING DARK STAIN OFF KITCHEN CABINETS Message: If the stain is part of the finish (lacquer stains are very common), you can use Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper to remove the finish and colour. If the stain is in the wood the only way to lighten the cabinets is to use a bleach. |

RE: REMOVING DARK STAIN OFF KITCHEN CABINETS Message: Hi, thanks for your response....I believe the stain may be in the wood. Will bleaching remove just the color and not damage the wood. How light will the wood get???? Will I have to sand the wood after bleaching?? If the stain is lacquered on, where can I get the Circa 1850? I live in NJ Thanks for you help.... : ) |

RE: REMOVING DARK STAIN OFF KITCHEN CABINETS Message: Bleaching will remove the stain and will soften the wood fibers. You will have to sand after bleaching. Depending on the type of bleach used (oxalic acid or peroxide) the wood will more than likely have to be restained. Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper is available throughout New Jersey at paint and hardware stores. If you give me your ZIP I can tell you the nearest stores. |

RE: REMOVING DARK STAIN OFF KITCHEN CABINETS Message: I want to remove dark walnut stain that has a polymeur coating over them, they were originally a light wood then we put this dark stain on them. What would be the best product to start with to strip them because I want a whole new look. |

RE: REMOVING DARK STAIN OFF KITCHEN CABINETS Message: The first step would be to remover the coating. You can use any of the Circa 1850 Strippers for the job. Do you plan to take the cabinet doors off prior to stripping? |

RE: REMOVING DARK STAIN OFF KITCHEN CABINETS Message: Yes Don't you think it would be much easier? After stripping then I have to choose a stain to put on them. So after stripping them, what would be the next steps and what products would I need to use to give a clean shiny new look? |

RE: REMOVING DARK STAIN OFF KITCHEN CABINETS Message: Yes, it would certainly be a lot easier to remove the doors in order to do the stripping work. After stripping off the finish, you can then decide if you want to stain the wood or just leave them as is. There are several options available, but it would be best to see what the wood looks like first. |
