Strip Back. Restore the Beauty. Start Fresh.

The stripper I trust for every furniture transformation. Safer to use than caustic alternatives, low-fume, and genuinely effective on multiple coats of paint, varnish, lacquer, and polyurethane. Apply generously, wait, and watch the old finish lift cleanly.

Rigid plastic scrapers remove softened finish efficiently without any risk of gouging the bare wood beneath. The three sizes cover everything from wide tabletops to narrow chair rails and legs.

Essential for cleaning stripped finish from carved mouldings, turned legs, and recessed details. Also used as a light denib between finish coats for a glass-smooth final surface.

Used to neutralise and clean the stripped surface after scraping, to thin oil-based stain for lighter applications, and to clean brushes after polyurethane.

The classic penetrating oil stain that soaks directly into the wood fibre for a grain-forward result. Early American and Dark Walnut are my most-reached-for shades on furniture projects.

A thicker gel formula that stays in place on vertical surfaces and is far more forgiving on blotch-prone woods like pine, poplar, and cherry. Produces a rich, even tone that is difficult to achieve with a penetrating stain on softwoods.

My go-to topcoat for furniture that needs to stand up to daily use. Dries crystal clear, builds quickly, and the gloss depth on a fully cured piece looks as if it was professionally sprayed.

Non-negotiable for any refinishing project. Stripper, stain, and polyurethane will all dye or bond to skin on prolonged contact. A bulk pack means you always have a fresh pair for every stage of the process.

The first pass after stripping — removes any remaining finish residue, raises the grain, and gives the surface the mechanical texture that stain needs for even absorption.
