    Re: Wrinkles. They form because the paper fibers are absorbing moisture at different rates. Solution: Give your paper a light coat of your favorite clear coat spray. This encases the fibers, so the paper absorbs moisture/adhesive at the same rate and lays down flatter.

    When removing sticky paint stripper from a piece you are refinishing you can use TSP to remove it very easily. Do not use this method on laminated wood because it will dissolve the glue and your laminate will bubble.
    Take as much paint off as you can with your scraper. Give it another coat of stripper and wait a few minutes.
    Mix 1/2 cup of TSP in about 2 cups of very hot water. With a sponge or saturated cloth rub it generously over the treated surface. Most of it will come off easily and eliminate the stickiness. A piece of steel wool will remove the rest without rubbing depending of course on the thickness of the paint. Use rubber gloves of course. A plastic drop cloth would also be a good idea.
    This is also excellent for evening out the finish of a piece of furniture. It will readily remove old varnish on it's own. It's also an excellent option for getting detailed areas clean. You can use a brass brush or even a stiff toothbrush. Hope this helps. 🙂
