 Subject:
Circa 1850 Furniture StripperMessage: I'm wondering if the product I have contains either methlylene chloride or toluene? (The container I have has a big DANGER Poison symbol on the front which is different from the packaging you show on this website.) Also do you have a MSDS for your products? Thanks! |
| Mark 9/14/2006 1:34:10 PM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper contains methylene chloride, as indicated on the container. The website is used worldwide - the symbols that you describe are only applicable in Canada. MSDS are available from your distributor or retailer for industrial use. |

RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: I am not sure what you expected, but Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper is formulated to remove varnish. The store clerk must have not understood your needs or spoke in error. You will need to apply a new coat of varnish. |

RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: I am interested in purchasing Circa 1850 stripper. Can you tell me where it might be sold in the Buffalo-Rochester-Syracuse area? Thanks. |

RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: I am afraid you will either have to pop over the border to Canada or order online. |

RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: After using cIRCA-1850 STRIPPER (BIO),I cleaned with mineral spirit to wash but wood surface takes too much time to dry. How much time it requires to dry at room temperature? When will be the best time to start applying stain? |
| Mark 4/13/2009 2:29:35 PM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: You can use a faster evaporating solvent, such as methanol, to remove the residue. |

RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: Bonjour ! Je suis très intéressée par votre décapant doux...toutefois, malgré mes visites chez 2 Home Dépôt (qui l'annonce sur son site)je n'ai pas pu le trouver. Est-ce possible de l'acheter directement chez vous ? (J'habite tout près) Sinon, est-ce possible de le trouver à Montréal chez un détaillant accessible sans voiture ? (Parce que qui dit écolo, dit souvent pas de voiture !) |
| Mark 5/13/2009 10:03:39 AM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: Décapant Doux de Circa 1850 est disponible chez Rona Réno Dépot Canadian Tire Wal-Mart On ne vend plus à Home Depot. |

RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: We need to strip down our oak floors and revarnish them. Is it reasonable to use your Circa 1850 stripper? We live in a remote area and have no way to rent a sander. |
| Mark 7/12/2010 6:40:01 AM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: Yes, you can certainly use Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper to remove the existing varnish from your floors. |
| How much stripper? 7/12/2010 2:06:17 PM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: Thanks, Mark. We have approximatley 600 sq ft of flooring to strip. It's commercially finished 2.25" oak. How much stripper would I need? And what do you recommend for a finish? Will a belt sander even things out after stripping, if I don't mind having worn-down spots? |
| Mark 7/12/2010 2:50:04 PM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: You will probably need about 4 gallons. After stripping, you can lightly sand (belt sander may be a bit too agressive) the surface to ensure uniformity. Depending on how much protection you desire, and the look you are going for, the three options are" TUNG OIL - least protection, farm house or chalet, rustic look with real feel of wood. ANTIQUE DANISH OIL - moderate protection, classy look, slight sheen. BOWLING ALLEY POLYURETHANE - ultimate protection from water, scratches, etc. Multiple sheens available. Look and feel of a finish. |

RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: I have just used Circa 1850 remover on a 45 year old small chair. Finish scraped off nicely. I then washed it with a 3 part mix of Denatured alcohol , Mineral Spirits and Methyl Hydrate. A final rinse with Ammonia and warm water. The arms have light grayish cloudy blotches/areas . Is this because all the finish was not removed, or ??? Solution would be to ???? |
| Mark 11/15/2010 12:45:27 PM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: I am not sure why you decided to rinse the surface with ammonia and warm water. Ammonia is commonly used to change the colour of wood. The advantage of using Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper is that you never need to wash or neutralize he surface after stripping. The solution to your problem is to stain the wood to obtain a uniform colour. |

RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: We plan to strip and paint some oak flooring which is on 2 steps as the riser and a sidewall as a trim piece. When we remove the varnish and light sand is there any other prep we need before painting ie; Bin or some other primer. Thanks |
| Mark 11/16/2010 11:08:48 PM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: In general oak does not require a primer or other preparation after sanding. |
| Betty 12/4/2010 9:30:44 PM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: Maybe you can offer a suggestion for me. I am stripping an old door frame of fir wood. I have used circa 1850 and also steel wool but am having a hard time getting the paint out of the wood grain. Besides aggressive sanding is there a better product or idea. |
| Mark 12/5/2010 7:46:02 AM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: If there is only a small amount of paint in the wood grain, the best solution is to use a tooth pick or pin to remove the paint flecks. If there is a large amount of paint, the first step is to cut the bristles of a paint brush so that they are only about an inch and a half long. These stiffened bristles can be used to push the paint out of the grain. Finally, as a last resort, you can try to coat the entire surface with shellac. The shellac will bind to the surface, including the paint. When you go back to using the stripper, the shellac may grab onto the paint and make it easier to remove. |

RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: I'm going to strip paint from a wooden door with an inserted window that is etched as well as some foiling - is the stripper safe to come in contact with this window? |
| Mark 2/1/2011 2:53:41 PM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: Is the etching true etching, or a coating? What do you mean by "foiling"? |
| Janice 2/1/2011 4:33:53 PM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: I can't tell, but I'd guess a coating as it is quite raised and feels almost plastic. Skip the foiling....it's the metal rim that each pane is inserted with. At one time may have been called muntins...not certain what it is called now |
| Janice 2/1/2011 4:36:38 PM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: The raised pieces feel like it might be plastic. Skip the foil....think it is some sort of metal around each pane - muntins I think these are called |
| Mark 2/1/2011 5:06:35 PM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: You will want to avoid contact with any plastic, unless you can tell me the material. If you can tape aluminum foil over the areas in question, you can protect the pane. |

RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: I need to refinish some teak veneer in the interior of our boat. Sanding can be difficult due to the thinness of the veneer. Would this product work for us? Would I want to strip and then go over again with 0000 steal wool to clean any left over residue?? Really trying to avoid sanding. Thanks |
| Mark 2/23/2011 1:34:43 PM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: Yes, Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper would be the best product for you to use in this situation. You may remove any residue using 0000 steel wool or a synthetic finishing pad. |

RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: I have a 30-year-old rosewood wall unit. When I ran out of Teak Oil, I decided to try the Circa 1850 Tung ''''n Teak Oil. The first coat went on beautifully. When the light was different the second day, I noticed some spots I had missed. I decided to apply a second coat. This time, I didn''''t wipe the excess away after 10 minutes--got tied up with something else and didn''''t get back to the job for approx. 1 1/2 hours. Big mistake. I want to remove the mess I made and start over. It''''s been about 5 days now since I applied the second coat. I have a child with asthma; so, if possible, I''''d rather not sand the wall unit. Can I remove the Tung ''''n Teak Oil with the Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper? Since I really made a mess using the T''''nT without knowing what I was doing first and the fact that this wall unit is irreplaceable, I''''d appreciate it if you could tell me anything I would need to know about using this Stripper. Thanks. |

RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: Can paint that has been treated with Circa 1850 be painted over when it is left to dry completely (for a week) or will the new paint peel off? Is there anyway to leave Circa 1850 on without the new paint peeling? Thanks. Erin |

RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: I just bout a 50 year old apartment. It looks like the original paint was a glossy oil. over the year there has been many applications of paint and now they are coming off in thick sheets as big as my hand in some places. I have scraped but it is a 3 bedroom place and the work to get the paint off the walls is long. To try and speed this process up I applied 1850 Paint and Varnish remover to the paint on the wall. The paint became gummy right down to what looks to be the original oil layer. It was too gummy to scrape so I left it. Now it is dry again. My guess (hope) is that the layers are all stuck together now and that I can apply a skim coat of plaster, prime and then begin to paint. Thoughts? |

RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: Hello i am looking for a MSDS sheet for your product Circa 1850 furniture stripper. any help would be great. thanks |
| Gabriel 11/29/2011 6:31:49 PM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: Hello there. Since it says on the bottle that the "soft" stripper (the one in plastic container) contains no NMP, may we assume then that it''s Dibasic Esters based? Thanks! |
| Mark 11/30/2011 12:57:23 PM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: Why would you assume that? |
| Gabriel 12/1/2011 2:11:28 PM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: Because there aren't many types of solvents used in stippers, so unless you discovered a new one, I assumed it was DE. :) Could you share the main ingredient then? |

RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: I tried to use this product on my stairs colored in black. It easily removed the paint on the raisers (white) but not doing much on the flat stairs. Can you advise? |

| Mark 12/2/2011 2:49:26 PM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: It is possible that the flat sections are a polyurethane, while the risers are paint. Try applying the Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper onto the step and cover it with a plastic sheet or foil. Allow it to saturate the surface for five minutes (test with a putty knive), ten minutes, etc. Eventually, the finish should bubble up or soften. |

RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: Own stripping an old varnished stair hand rail however heating the work area is not possible and temperature is approximately 34 F. The stripper is hardening almost immediately after applying and not really effective. I am guessing this is too cold a temperature. Am I correct. What is the best temperature for stripping with your product? Paul |
| Josh 9/16/2012 11:16:09 PM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: Am stripping a varnish or polyurethane from interior door jams. Like the previous inquiry would like to know the ideal temperature at which to use the product. Also can the stripper be misted with rubbing alcohol (70% or 99%) to keep the product moist while it does its thing? Thanks. |
| Mark 9/18/2012 7:05:20 AM |
RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: The optimal temperature is between 20 and 30C. Warmer temperatures will increase efficacy, but also increase rate of evaporation. Misting with rubbing alcohol is not a good idea. Best to apply a heavy coat of remover or cover with a plastic sheet to inhibit evaporation. |

RE: Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper Message: About 20yrs ago I used to use the circa brand stripper and after I would wash it with laquer thinners and scrub with steel wool, is the circa 1850 of today the same formula? If I use the same process to wash after stripping, will it have the same result given that its says no wash is required? |
