What's the best way to remove a polyurethane varnish?

Cabots - faq - cabots.com.au
To some extent it depends upon where you are trying to remove the varnish from. On floors it is easiest to use a drum sander for the majority of the area and then an edge sander around the edges. On other large, flat surfaces belt or orbital sanders may be the best way to go. Of course, there is always the option to hand sand, but that's hard work, so only to be recommended when all else fails. For more awkwardly shaped areas a paint or varnish stripper may be the only practical option.

Why are the needles waxed and not finished with polyurethane or varnish?

Hummingbird Needles - Unique, handmade knitting needles
After triple sanding, our needles are oiled, stained or painted (unless you've chosen Natural finish), rubbed with superfine steel wool, waxed with high quality paste wax, then finally buffed to a shine. This process ensures a super smooth, durable finish that will last for years, and even improve with time. Wax was chosen as a final finish because it creates an all-natural, smooth, yarn-friendly surface.

What is the best way to remove hangnails?

Lee Nails: FAQS
Nail technicians remove hangnails with cuticle nippers. The best way to prevent hangnails is to use cuticle cream, oil or lotion that is massaged into the cuticle and nail mantle. Then use a cuticle stick to gently push back the cuticle after you have softened it, which in most cases, eliminates the need to trim cuticles of hangnails. Many acrylics change color to a yellow cast just from wearing them for a long period of time or if a basecoat is not being used under polish.

Wave Corrector: Frequently Asked Questions
Wave Corrector is less effective against crackle than against other types of noise. The program is designed to restore vinyl recordings which generally contain discrete clicks rather than constant crackle. Crackle is more typical of old shellac records (78’s). Unfortunately, crackle is a type of noise which is too continuous for click corrections to be totally effective; but it is too impulsive for a hiss filter to be effective.

How can I remove varnish from a painting?

Technical, Watercolor, Misc answers, Jerry Yarnell
Removing varnish is tricky. The best approach for an acrylic painting would be to use fine sandpaper. Lightly go over the painting's surface with the fine-grain sandpaper. Wipe off the varnish dust with a damp cotton rag. After you remove the varnish, you will be able to re-paint on the surface. If you are removing a varnish from an oil painting, lightly sand the painting's surface. Then, take turpentine and rub the background to clean the surface. Then, re-paint as normal.

What is the best way to remove old paint?

Frequently Asked Questions about Real Paints and Colours
Unless paint is peeling, flaking or detached, it is probably best left alone and appropriately recoated. However, where old paint has become excessively thick and obscuring detail, old paint is best removed by dissolution. Burning or heating can lead to lead poisoning or damage to timber and glass; entire houses have been lost to fire caused by careless use of flame-guns ('blow-lamps'). Most solvents are strongly alkaline and act on the acidic oil binder, causing it to soften.
