    Default Wood panelling

    GDay all- i have timber wood panelling in my hallway of my Cal bungalow that was painted. I stripped the paint off and I know need advice about the best thing to do next.....give it a good sand and then polish it up with something? Any ideas?

    cheers

    Don't paint it with estapol! I have seen cracks in the panelling when this has been done.

    No lead is not problem if your using paint stripper, if sanding or burning it off then yes.
