Removing Krylon from pottery
Jessica Vincent
Enter a fabulous pottery umbrella stand with heavy embossing....and a coat
of Krylon textured crackle spray paint over a layer of gold spray paint.
What solvent is my best shot at getting this horrid looking crappy-ola off
from my beautiful new stand?
I got some of the paint off with a mild solvent, enough to determine that
the piece has no cold painting. Not that I'd have been able to save any
cold painting given it's current state....
Acetone? Turpentine? Lacquer Thinner? or ??
Thanks for any help...I'll do some before and after shots I think.
As an aside the 1930s style bedroom that my daughter and I are putting
together for her is coming together. She bought the dresser she wanted
today (with the money she's made from selling depressing glass at shows) at
another sale, now I just need to strip the paint and refinish that...I see a
future of removing gunky old paint....

Dichloromethane and methanol. Often sold as a commercial stripper -
"Nitromors" in the UK,

Paint remover works just fine on pottery. I used it
successfully to remove a heavy coat of gold paint
applied to a piece of Roseville pottery.
These problems fall under the "it can't hurt" category.

The stripper I've used recently isn't bad; it's clear, and while it's
not the best on wood, it's great on metal and pottery. I bought
it at Home Depot. It's thick, too, so it doesn't run all over the
place, and it's been kind to my hands. I wish I still had the
plastic bottle, or I could give you the brand name.

The paint remover worked spendidly. I need to put a bit more elbow grase
into some of the fine detail, the differance between paint encrusted and
nearly clean is impressive. Next task will be finding out "who done it"
just die impressed USA on the bottom.

Put more on the detailed areas, then cover it with Saran
Wrap for a few hours so it doesn't dry. Then scrub with
a toothbrush. Worked for me.

fumes....
I've used the saran wrap on furniture before....I'll try it on this. It's
the horrid gold spray paint that wants to stick....I will post a picture
soon. Haven't decided if it's a keeper or not yet.
