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

If you are going to paint the pieces why wast time removing the old
finish?
Just prime and paint.


I thought of that but there is some flaking I need to take care of and I was
nervous that the paint and primer would not last long on top of the stain
poly
