How can I remove paint from wood panelling

Wood panelling which has become very popular in houses over the recent past, provides a modern take on centuries old wainscoting and reinvents a wall decor that was popular during the nineteen fifties, sixties and seventies. Whilst having an historical functional role of hiding damp walls or preventing water damage wood panelling is now a purely decorative addition to home interior decor. As a popular style accessory in hallways, it is exposed to direct contact. Wood panelling does take abuse from children’s hands incessantly rubbing against it or footwear scuffing and marking the lower area creating an unsightly mess. The only way to restore its decorative integrity is to repaint it. That presents a problem insofar as the worn paint has to be removed first. While there are a number of options for removing the paint, none of them to date represent a really effective way of doing that. They all have drawbacks including heat treatment which can cause burning and resultant smoke and fumes. Solvents, that were used traditionally, are extremely harsh with chemical constituents that cause health issues whilst mechanical methods, such as sanders, are slow and produce dust which is an undesirable negative side effect of the process. Manual scraper methods are tedious and inefficient. There is now a new revolutionary highly acclaimed paint removal product from C Tec which does the job effectively and safely.
