use of caustic soda to remove old oil paint

Wish you'd come across with a valid e-mail address. I didn't write meth chloride = lye and that's not what I intended to say. I meant to imply meth chloride on one hand, lye on the other or meth chloride versus lye. My following explanation of the hazards of each makes it plain that I have no confusion about the two chemicals.

The email address in my sig is perfectly valid. But I am curious as to what you have to say to me that you don't want to put in an open forum.

Well, actually, it doesn't. And regardless of _your_ confusion your "following explanation" is likely to confuse anybody else who comes in not knowing the difference.

I have done this myself and have come to the conclusion that the shellac is really just forcing you to do a second complete stripping. If you do a good, thorough job the first time with good quality chemicals, equipment, and technique, any paint in the pores will either come out or will require a brass brush, pick, etc. The shellac won't help.
