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.

Professionals use rollers. However, if you are doing one or two rooms, you can achieve better results with a large inexpensive floor brush, which we stock. If doing a hardwood floor in a large area, it would be worth using a roller or T-bar. See similar questions...

The safest way to remove the residue from your paint is with white, made in USA, 100% cotton name brand large bath towels, such as Cannon or FieldCrest. Get them in the bath section at any major department store. The towels that you find in auto parts stores, or the auto sections of the department stores are usually not made in the USA, and even though they may say they are 100% cotton, they are not. Anything other than 100% pure white cotton may scratch your paint finish. See similar questions...

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. See similar 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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

If the stain still exists, make a paste with baking soda and water. Rub the paste on the back of the stain and let the garment stand for two hours. Rinse, then rewash. If that still doesn't work, make a smooth paste with Colman's mustard and water, put the paste in some warm water then soak the entire garment in it overnight.. See similar questions...

Siding should be removed in whole pieces and then carried or lowered to the disposal area (instead of letting it drop to the ground). Siding will most likely break where it is fastened to the building, these areas should be moistened with water before attempting to remove the fasteners. See similar questions...
