If you are intended to paint a wood surface that is previously been painted what will you do? Would you apply a new coat on a peeling, crackling and flaking wood surface? This will be unprofessional to paint a wood surface without removing old paint. To make the process of paint removing from a wood surface smooth, we use paint strippers. The best paint remover for wood helps in proper stripping off the previous paint surface to create a solid base that results in professional paint finishing.
