Furniture, Wood and Cabinetry Finishing - Help removing white paint!

I am stripping a cupboard with lots of nicks and scratches. It was painted white, then brown (wood like), and laquard. I started with citristrip, it didn't work. Then used stripeaze. It worked, but I'm having a hard time getting the white paint off the doors, the cracks and nicks. Anybody have some advice to get rid of the white paint?

Tirany:

The nicks and scratches are probably why the cabinet was painted in the first place, but...

Use a brass bristle brush (with stripper) to scrub the stubborn areas. Buy some 5/16" wood dowel rod - cut it into pieces about 8 inches long and run both ends through a pencil sharpener - handy little tool for digging into cracks and crevices that won't harm your wood.

That, and a lot of elbow grease.

I've heard of the product and just emailed them asking for a distributor in my area so I can try it myself. Sounds almost too good to be true, but I'll let you know what I find out.

Hi! We are refininshing a dining car, and have similar problem. Wonder if your "white paint" in cracks, etc. could also be filler - we've run into that and figure we will have to either stain the filler or dig out the old stuff and fill it with the correct colored stain. Good luck!
