Remove paint from wood
I sanded down a painted bookshelf using an electric sander and by hand with 60 grit sandpaper. However, I can't get to the tiny area where the wood boards meet, i.e., where shelves are jointed to the uprights. It is about 1 mm is depth on eachboard. Is there a special tool available or is paint stripper the answer?
Thanks.
Thanks.

bookshelf strip job
I find the spray-on chemical strippers they have available are the bomb! I never sand until the paint is almost completely gone. For corners I use a piece of sandpaper folded, only after I've removed what I can using the stripper and a small crevice tool like an exacto blade or a curved pick.
