I have already stripped one Bannister using a heat gun and the wood
looks really quite nice so I sanded it and it looks really good .

Thought I would strip the other aide too but as it is close to the wall
etc I do not wish to use the heat gun on it. I thought of a chemical
stripper .Â* Is there any that the group recommends or should I just be
very careful and use the gun?



Banisters on the wall side of stairs are often easy to remove if fixed
with brackets.


Yeah had sort of come to the conclusion that that was the way forward.
Cue lots of questions on removing(and replacing) screws that have been
in place 50~60 years.
