What is an easy way to remove the weathered crackle glaze/paint?

I was wondering what is an easy way to remove this kind of paint. Can you recommend a good product for removing this? Something with low odor because it is on kitchen cabinets and they cannot be removed to work on them outside.





Thanks so much!! : )





JWhat is an easy way to remove the weathered crackle glaze/paint?
yeah - theres essentially no easy way to do this.





Youre options are these: heat gun, chemical stripper, sanding.





The usual answer is scrape, then chemical strip and sand as needed for tougher areas. Then prime as needed and topcoat.





I cannot see how it is possible that the cabinet doors ';cannot be removed'; - this is most definately not the case. They were installed - therefore, they can be removed. But in case youre right, well... youve got a mess no matter how you deal with it.





I would go with the chemical stripper. Is messy, it burns like hell. the fumes are dangerous - Id still do that. Its better than creating a dust storm in you r home. heat gun is just as bad if not worse - plus you'll still need to sand.





Get further assistance from a local paint store that is a PAINT store (not Sears) - something like Sherwin Williams.
