I love it that shockwave is on a website called www.environmentalprotectionagency.com when the real website is www.epa.gov . not sure I would trust a product that tries to look like a government website.
lol, I was scared of that, but better I hear it now then sink money and time into trying to get it done and ending up very frustrated instead. Thanks for the info.
The hardest part is if the profile is a shape not easily sanded, because you will need to sand it after stripping if you are going to stain it.
How many linear foot are we talking. There is always the law of diminishing returns where if you have the money and not the time you would buy new molding.
However complicating the formula is whether you can find a stock molding profile that will work. If you have to go custom then the choice is usually made for you to refinish.
Oh man, I had a rehab where I tried to sand down the moldings, it took forever and I gave up and replaced them. It is truly grueling work, especially with the contoured edges!
If it were me it would depend on what other options I had. I would be hesitant to take on a house with no comps. Around here there are plenty of "standard" run of the mill projects to keep one busy and these are lower risk than a unique style of house.

Hi Rehabinator... Remember, the paint is on the outside , then you get to the stained baseboards.
First you have to get the paint off. Does anyone know of a stripper that will remove latex paint?
