Antique furniture is a shining example of green living because no new resources are used to make them since they are, well, already made. Unfortunately, past owners have often painted and varnished these sustainable pieces to their own liking.
Not looking for a yellow china hutch or a purple dining set? Go on - buy that tacky piece and a bottle of Franmar Chemical's Soy Gel Paint and Urethane Remover, available in the company's online store in various sizes.
Want a better way to remove paints, urethanes, acrylics, epoxies, and enamels without the back-breaking work of sanding and chiseling? Made with 100% American Grown Soybeans, SOY Gel does all that and more. Throw out the sand paper and put away the knee pads. Just put some SOYGel on the coating to be removed, allowing you to work on another project. Let SOYGel do the work, not you! Within minutes you can see the power of SOYGel start to lift the coatings, all while you spend time on other tasks.
I know what you're thinking - does it really work? According to London-based owner of an online boutique and mom of a three-year-old, it stripped layers of bright red paint off of her fireplace overnight with little extra effort (i.e. minor scrapping). There are also three other positive reviews on Amazon.com that are worth checking out.
