I am going to do the trim for my grandmother on an old farmhouse...I don't think the job was done well last time, and I wanted to know the best ways to get the paint off the storm windows and trim..any strippers that have worked well in the past...not going to use a pressure washer..cause I don't have the time to dry the wood out...any particular scraper that works better...sanding techniques...???

And if there is a certain kind of paint I could get that breathes...so the moisture in the old wood won't bubble the paint???

thanks
