Removal of Dried Stain Drip from Pine Door

Dec 22, 2005 2 Replies

Have just completed poly staining on pine wood door. Some dried up stain dripping is present .along end of door.



What is best way to remove these stains ? Sandpaper or attempt mineral spirits ?



Thanks.

You are not likely to get a poly off with mineral spirits once it cures. I would try some fine 220 - 400 sandpaper. Be careful. You can sand through the finish.

I've used a single edge razor blade as a scraper for stuff like this. Hold vertical to surface and work slowly.
