Okay, I just bought an older Rataan couch and chair frame. They look to be finished in a dark paint/stain. The rataan doesn't look to have been burned to make the finish dark as there are several nicks and scratches showing a lighter finish underneath. Now, here's my question for all of you experts out there - what if any finish stripper can I safely use on Rataan. Is it possible to sand it down as the rataan is fairly fiberous and if you start sanding away goes the fibres. Any ideas? |
