Restoring Antiques

By John W. Olson

Homemade Removers

Last issue, in this column, I talked about how to strip old finishes using the commercially available removers that can be purchased at just about any hardware store. While these removers work quite well, they have one drawback — they can be somewhat expensive, especially if the job is a big one. Therefore, in this issue. I've included a few homemade formulas that also work well, but unlike the hardware store varieties, won't cost quite as much.

One of the least expensive and most effective paint and varnish removers can be made from nothing more than a solution of old-fashioned household lye and hot water. However, it can only be used under certain conditions and not on all materials. The chemical action that removes the paint is effective only at a temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit, so make sure the work area is warm enough. And since you'll need a lot of water to flush the stripped surface, this work is best done on a bare concrete floor with good drainage, or out in the backyard over bare dirt (lye effectively kills any kind of plant life) or in an old barn or other site where the lye can cause no harm.

After the work site has been selected, your next concern should be to protect yourself. Lye is highly caustic and can cause bad burns on unprotected skin and eyes. To protect your face you'H need a large plastic face shield that extends from forehead to chin. For hand and arm protection, a good pair of synthetic rubber gloves with long gauntlets extending to the elbows should be used. A rubber laboratory apron will provide the best protection for your legs and trunk. If a lab apron isn't available, use an old, long-sleeved shirt or jacket, along with pants that extend to your ankles. Lye will eat holes in most cloth, but wool is somewhat more resistant. A pair of rubber boots and a hat will complete your protective outfit.

To prepare the remover, dissolve a can (about a pound) of household lye in a quart of hot water and stir well. To this mixture add a solution of one cup cornstarch in one-half gallon of hot water. This will make a thick viscous liquid which will cling to vertical surfaces.

Lye is particularly effective when the finish to be removed is old, thick and hard. Apply the solution with a brush, mop or similar tool. A swab made of old rags tied to the end of an 18 or 20 in. long stick is very effective. Keep the surfaces covered for at least twenty minutes, longer if necessary, until the old finish is completely softened and starts to swell, wrinkle and become almost liquid. At this point, flush with the garden hose or buckets of water. The more volume and force used, the better the flushing action will be. If any paint remains after flushing, apply more remover and flush again. When all surfaces are completely clean, allow to dry thoroughly. Metal surfaces may be re-finished immediately, Don't, under any circumstances, use
