Eliminate drip marks after stripping furniture

When using finish and paint remover eliminate drip marks after stripping furniture by restripping and removing the residue as you go.

Remove paint or old finish from the bottom up and always keep the bottom part of the furniture damp with stripper to eliminate drip spots. Wipe any heavy runs of paint stripper from the portion of the furniture where the old paint or finish has already been removed before they have a chance to soak into the already stripped area.

Email question:

I used Citristrip on an old desk and I have drip spots and paintbrush marks, although the old finish is gone. It's as if they are into old pigment. Any tips for evening out this problem?

It sounds like you still have some residue of the old paint left. You should go over the desk again with the Citristrip Stripper and clean the residue as you go with Citristrip Paint Remover Wash. The restripping should eliminate any drip spots on your furniture.

Let the Citristrip stripper sit for a good length of time so it can do it's job of softening the old paint or finish residue before you scrape it off.

Strip from the bottom up

When you strip do it from the bottom up, then anything that runs down can be wiped from a wet surface and it won't leave any drip spots on the lower parts of your furniture. Add a light coat of stripper to the bottom sections of whatever you're stripping as you work your way up so that you always have a wet surface below where you're stripping.
