I'm stripping a wooden dressed using a sander and some paint stripper when absolutely needed. The dresser turned out wonderfully, but I still can't get the old white paint out of the cracks and corners in the dresser. What can I used to get these out?

I watched somebody doing this once with paint stripper and a small brush....looked like a toothbrush but with copper bristles. He then cleaned the stripper away using sawdust.

Getting paint out of those areas is a pain - but toptosher has the right idea. One thing - the most common brushes for this task have brass bristles. They're usually available at home centers, apint stores and hardware stores.
