I have a very old table that I bought at a garage sale, I'm not sure if it is an antique or not. It has about 4 or 5 layers of paint on it, I'm using a water-soluble stripper, and it takes the first two or three layers off quite nicely, the problem is that there is this layer of gray paint that hs been set on there so long that it is practiclly i the grain of the wood. If you can't tell I'm new at this, this table is my first project, I was wondering if there was any way to get the paint off without sanding down the wood cause that's the only way I can get it off, I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thanks!
