You're right the stain has penetrated the timber and it's not coming off with just sanding. I'll get a paint stripper as you suggested and then just paint the dark walnut stain over it. But I'm a bit worried that the dark rose colour will still show through or worse, the entire dresser will become one big odd coloured disaster! Thanks for your help. Will let you know how I go…<br />xxRani Engineerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147567964630830817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1618129404504205577.post-19667667086817882482013-02-21T12:00:52.707+11:002013-02-21T12:00:52.707+11:00Thanks Karen!

I have so many I could probably fill a book. But its all about trial and error isn't it? Well if I solve my problem, I'll let you know. xxRani Engineerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147567964630830817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1618129404504205577.post-79231826481045240822013-02-21T08:33:50.904+11:002013-02-21T08:33:50.904+11:00Hi Rani

I would try a paint stripper first to remove the glossy overcoat, then I would sand thoroughly and finish by applying a walnut stain mixed in with some danish oil. The stain will probably help mask the red tones and the danish oil provides a natural protective coat (and is super easy to apply).<br />Good luck!Kristine at The Painted Hivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818603990539361302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1618129404504205577.post-33535551684377576022013-02-21T05:23:20.675+11:002013-02-21T05:23:20.675+11:00I wish I could help, but my last post is on a pain...I wish I could help, but my last post is on a painting disaster I just had, so I am learning myself. Do you have to use some sort of solvent? I am looking forward to seeing the end result! You'll do a great job and love it eventually!<br />Karen Shabby Brocante, Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02883353869007660698noreply@blogger.com
