SWMBO wants to remove the dark stain from our existing kitchen cabs. So we set
'a sanding, and find the stain has permeated the open grain areas pretty well.
I think "bleach", but am unsure how it'll do in the deep pores of the grain.
Anyone here had any success removing deep color, or should I just try to match
the new doors and drawers with a dark filler? Thanks in advance! Tom in Tucson
I bleached some raised panel doors once and this worked pretty good. A
couple of problems I ran into, it takes a lot of time and patience. Allow
for at the very least, two applications. Make sure you let the piece dry
completely. It will then require some hand sanding. Don't expect a bleached
white wood, it will still have some pigmets, just not a lot. I stained the
wood a nice golden oak and it looked very nice.
