I use Citri Strip because it doesn't stink, is a gel so you can use it on vertical surfaces, and it doesn't kill your skin (I think you're supposed to wear gloves, though. LOL) You do have to cover it with plastic wrap so that it doesn't dry out while it's working, and then you clean up the last of the residue with mineral spirits. It works very well. Great job!!
LoL, I thought the script read, "porch wankover!" Ok, laughs aside, I'm currently using citri strip. I saw that someone put plastic over it to keep it from drying. I cut up some plastic grocery bags I had accumulated and laid those over top of the citri strip and it did keep it from drying. I'm impatient so I try scraping at 30 minutes. I also use a toothbrush to get into the grain of the wood after the majority of the paint has been removed. It's imperfect, but that's just removing paint from textured/angled wood! Good work! I look forward to the future full porch wankover reveal very soon ;)!
Use the orange stripper and put on a very thick layer. Then cover it with Saran wrap so it keeps it from drying out. This allows it to work for much longer. Depending on how thick the paint you're trying to remove, I've heard of people leaving the stripper on for a couple of hours up to the following day, for tougher jobs. Either way, cover it with plastic wrap so it doesn't dry out. I hope this little tidbit helps w future projects! Love the mustache, btw. Oh and the porch! The porch is nice too. ✌️
My house was built in 1929. The best stripper I found is CitriStrip. But I once you cover everything put plastic food wrap, Saran Wrap, on it and leave for 24 hours. Sounds weird but it works.
I love your ceiling color. My all time favorite for this exterior application or even interior alcove ceilings is....Benjamin Moore Palladian Blue. Amazing color!!
I use Stripwell QCS. It sprays on, doesn’t dry quickly, strips in 15 minutes, non-toxic, and doesn’t require a separate chemical to clean the stripper off. Try it. I think you’ll love it!
I'm surprised you didn't go with "haint blue" for the ceiling being that you're in the south. I like the bit of dark trim around the windows. Also....really like that you're keeping the original windows. Usually that's one of the 1st things someone wants to do when renovating, is replace the windows. I wish I had a larger front porch, you have a really nice size one.
Hi, like the colours you selected. can't wait for the complete picture. The Star reminds me of a German HerrnNhuter stern. It is a symbol of the star of bethlehem in Germany.
you should place seran wrap over the paint stripper once you apply it or some other type of thin plastic that is taped down or creates a seal to keep the moisture in and then the paint stripper won't dry out on you. :)
Glad you opted out of painting the windows black or white. I will be painting mine a dark blue colour. Black looks modern and white is country look. I already know your porch is going to look amazing. Can't wait to see the reveal😍
Circa stripper is my go-to product for multiple layers. Use outside if possible. Citri-strip is user friendly but I find it cannot go through multiple layers of older oil based paint/varnish. Wear gloves/eye protection, spread product, cover with cling wrap, wait till surface wrinkles appear, test, scrape, repeat. Old houses mean no short cuts, patience is key. Good luck! Love the journey.
I don't think that is available in the States. Yes, most who do a lot of refinishing like that the most. They ALL hate Citri-Strip. If you are in the US, where do you buy it?
It is not a paint remover vs a heat gun, it depends on each case to try. Before starting a project, carry out some tests in inconspicuous places and there you make a decision. So that the paint remover does not dry out, you should cover it with plastic, so you can leave it resting longer. There are also tools to scrape paint off trim, a metal brush being the most essential. Don't forget to use mineral spirits to remove any paint stripper residue. And a lot of patience, restoring wood takes a long time and you always have the best results when you proceed slowly
Years ago, I purchased 2 plastic drop cloths for a minimal amount of money. Attention! Do not use them on the floor and then attempt to wall on them because they are not secure and do slip unexpectantly. Their use is probably meant to separate areas as a temporary hang drape. Quite handy for when you are renovating an entire room while still living in the house. How I used one was to cut about 1/3 of it into 18-inch square pieces (Because the tile I was using was 18-inches square). Then I cut a couple inches off the tile. I clean the area that I will be working with, using a bit of dish soap and a rag. When it is dry, I use a pencil and the tile to mark the area where I will be using the paint remover. I apply the paint remover and then cover it with the plastic square. I usually make 3 to 6 tile marks before I lift the corner of the first plastic sheet to see how it is curing. If it looks like it's doing its job, I put on my gloves and respirator, and eye protectors, then lift the plastic and scrap off the paint or finish. Do not use this technique on veneer! If you want to, you can flip the plastic and remove the chemical using a plastic paint scraper. Put the excess remover in an old paint can that is marked for its new contents and dispose of it properly. If you don't want to keep the plastic for later use, then remove the excess and fold it into 1-quarter its size, chemical side as the interior, then dispose of it according to the guidelines in your vicinity for disposing of dangerous chemicals. You will find that you will use less remover, your tools will last longer, and you won't be nearly as tired and frayed at the end of the process.
They used to paint porch ceilings blue. It was supposed to help keep the spirits out. Enjoying your videos. Keep up the good work. Went ahead and looked this up…… What a Painted Blue Porch Ceiling Means The painted blue porch ceiling started in the American South around 200 years ago. The practice traces back to the Gullah Geechee, enslaved people living in the low country of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Gullah folklore explains that ghosts, also referred to as “haints,” were not able to cross water. In order to repel evil spirits from plantations, porch ceilings were painted a soft blue. The color was meant to mimic water in an effort to keep any haints or spirits at bay. The Gullah people made sure to cover all their bases-windows, doors and shutters were often painted the same color of “haint blue.” Even bottle trees in the front yard used cobalt blue bottles.
With regards to your door, here in the UK there are companies that offer a service called "Dipping" where the whole door is dipped into a solution that will strip all the paint etc off, the door is then power washed and left to dry ready for you to apply whatever finish you want. Bob, xx
@@REISSUED "dipping" is about 150-200 dollars, maybe more. Do not use Citrastrip, most people, including me, hate it. Everybody seems to like Quick Strip or Klean Strip. Any questions about refinishing just ask, I have been doing it with my dad since age 10. There is also a woman, John's...something who is a professional. She just did a butchered front door, she is just amazing. I can at least find out most of what you need to know. Thanks for the post.
I was going to make this same comment! My aunt and uncle had a dipping business for years in rural Pennsylvania. They did all kinds of things. People would bring them old furniture as well as interior and exterior woodwork and doors, etc. I’ll bet you could find someone in your area who does that stuff - for future projects!
@@ejude83 Last Fall, I called to get a very small rocker dipped, they wanted minimum of 200, prices must have changed. 2 places, same price, more or less.
About using stripper; I see that a lot of people cover the items with stripper on it, with cling film for several hours, even overnight. Re painting trim around window panes; there's a liquid film you can put on the glass before you paint and the trim and then strip it off and voila a clean sharp paint line.
I know you’ve already completed the door but if you come across that again use stripper then steel wool …. Makes removal very easy especially those small details in the door
#Andrew, I don't do much paint stripping myself (once I did with doors, I did it with heat like you). But I watch quite a few restoring and DIY videos, and they all say you best put plastic foil/wrap over it to allow it to properly work without drying out.
Citri strip works wonderfully, but if you’re using a varnished based stripper, put a thicker base layer on it then cover it with Saran Wrap to allow it to penetrate. Make sure you do that in a shaded area also.
I think that white subway tile is a classic that was trending, but is no longer a trend. I feel like it can be associated like a specific time but is simple enough that it can fit any time period. I agree that people have realized that lots of open shelving is not functional. For me it wouldn't be functionals, but I like having some open shelving for plants, decor, spices, cook books, small appliances.... I think lidded baskets are helpful to use with open shelves. I'm struggling with decor trends that I regret and trying to pinpoint the items I have always loved and why verses trends that I thought were classic and would love forever, but now give me the ick.
Looking good so far. Are you thinking of doing anything to the glass in the door? Did they have wavy glass in the '30's? How about a diy stain glass or lightly frosted with ( fake ) lead lining or clear in the middle and then diy stain glass diamond shapes with the lead lining? Can you tell that I love stain glass real or fake? Can't wait to see what you do with it!
OMG your dog is the cutest. When we bought our 1908 cottage, it had nasty 1970s wide metal siding tacked on. I knew the original, narrow clapboards were underneath (you could life up the metal siding and see it). One day, we decided to rip off the metal siding and it was literally gone in one hour. The house just seemed to breath a sigh of relief. Unfortunately, whoever installed the metal siding removed some door and window cornices, but those were easily replaced. We spent the summer stripping and painting the house and, with the old architectural details restored, it looks 1000 times better. You'll be so happy when you do your adorable house!
I love this testimonial! You give me faith that one day it will be worth it to take the siding off! Everything we’ve uncovered so far has been in good shape… so maybe it’ll all be just good to go haha 🤞🏻
@6:53 After stripping as much as I can with the heat gun, a putty knife and a small wire bristled brush, I use "paint stripper after wash" for the remnants. Works like a charm.
Avoid citri strip. It's a marketing gimmick and little more. It's stated instructions/warnings are nearly identical to other "harsher" strippers. Those work better. Also, spend the extra cash and get the plastic wrap product the stripper product company you choose sells. Your instinct will be to do thick coats. Avoid that impulse. Even coats are more important than thick coats. Coat everything, cover with the wrappers and let sit for the high end of your product's suggested wait time. Between coats completely wipe it down with mineral spirits and steel wool so you can get a real sense of where you still have layers/sheets and where you need to move to detail tools. For your more ornate woodworking invest in a detail kit with small and medium tools that you can use to get into all those nooks and seams.
I came here to say they same thing. Lay it on thick cover with plastic wrap or used grocery bags, anything that will hold in the moisture. Leave it on longer than you think- the paint should start to pull away from the wood. After go over with super fine steel wool and mineral spirits. This deactivates the stripper and helps get in all the little grooves the paint is still stuck in. Good luck that font door is beautiful and the porch is looking great!!
We have a wrap around verandah, essential in Australia, particularly if you are in country areas. It gets stinking hot here! I plan to paint the verandah ceilings a sky blue which is really traditional. Was there any reason that you chose to paint them green, or rather a bluish green? Or sky blue? Also lights on the verandah/ porch, is that common place or just personal preference? We have a string of light over our covered out door meals area out the back of the house but I really want to make the front of the house welcoming and a place to sit and rest looking at our slowly establishing rose garden. We moved in 18 months ago so there’s still lots to do as it was a new build! My partner, Marcus is the gardener, whereas I’m the director of operations purely due to the fact I am unable to do much since a failed back op! ☹️ Nevertheless I have lots of ideas and you are giving me lots more! Loving your vlog and look forward to seeing what you tackle next. Best wishes as always from Neil in Australia 🇦🇺
You might also check sandblasting options - it removes old layers with high pressure sand - i am sure this is avaiable in states, as well. Anyway - love the mix of styles on your porch and someone compare it to mccenna's texas cottage - definitly i prefer mixing some styles than going with the theme as she is doing, so great job - looking frwd to see final results.
Sandblasting sounds interesting! And yes, I’m all about mixing styles… I’m actually gonna talk about that in part 2! I have so many aesthetics that I love… and it’s totally possible to mix them and create something special.

cling wrap covering the stripper so it doesn't dry out is a game changer
I’ve gotta try this out! 🙌🏻
So much work but looking great so far!🥰
I'm a stressy artist too lololol sometimes violent, sometimes I smash things I've been working on an entire day. Yup. It's y process.
Oh no! Breathe and walk away! Sometimes I can back and love something I hated 2 days before haha
