Hello,

I have some 5 year old patio furniture. I believe it is Brazil Cherry, it
is the standard stuff that can be bought at many outdoor furniture places.
It was originally stained a amber color and over the years the stain and
poly has worn off in many areas.

What I would like to do is remove the rest of the poly and stain, then
prime, paint and end up with white furniture.

My questions a

Any thoughts on a way other than sanding to get rid of the rest of the stain
and poly. The furniture has slat backs and seats.

Also, has anyone ever done this and had the paint last? If yes what did you
do?

Thanks

Larry C
