Can you remove an oil finish from wooden surround by dipping/stripping
I've seen a pine fireplace on Ebay which I'm thinking of buying.
However it looks a little orange'ish which I think may be due to the fact that it has been oiled. As I've had all my doors dipped back to their natural state I was wondering would I be able to do the same with this fireplace if I bought it? I can't see why not but just wanted to check. |

In my experience which ain't extensive I must admit, the orange finish you mention is more likely to be the result of oil-based varnish, which has a tendency to yellow with age. Why not ask the seller? There is that facility on eBay. Andy. |
