Refurbishing the Interior on Old Bird
Jack, MaybeGoo Gonewill work. I use the spray bottle to remove the sticky glue left after I remove a label from a plastic/glass bottle that I want to store something else in. I think the thick gel works better, but you get more coverage from the spray gel, as it is thinner. Good Luck, George Burke 1977 FC31 Charlotte

Jack, I suspect that the PO used Kilz to neutralize the surface. You might try a paint remover in a small area first. In one of our rentals we had hardwood floors under the carpet. The previous remodeler decided to not cover those floors when painting. I bouight a gallon of stripper and applied it like the directions. But I did not let it set too long. As soon as the paint was starting to bubble, I scraped it off. Tedious, for sure.

It seems the former owner of our 1973 Bird papered the wall area behind
the dinette, and the wall next to the sink. We have the paper off, but
there is some type of thin white paint on the wall. What can we use to

remove this that will not affect the "Natural Wood" factory finish?
Paint Thinner, Alchol, Acatone, or Laquer thinner come too mind...
What to use that will not dissolve the factory finish??
Sanding will work, but it is very slow, and there is the danger that it

will gouge the finish.
Has anyone covered these areas with anything that looks good, and if
so, what?
