Any DIYers in here? Just thrifted 2 bar stools which I suspect are painted with latex paint bc it feels rubbery and feels like it comes off easy. Looks like it’s only one layer of paint and it’s bare wood underneath. Can I just scrape/sand off this paint or do I need to go buy some chemicals to strip the paint? Ive been doing some googling and everyone is taking like 5 different steps and 24hrs for stuff to set in just to remove the paint, is all that really necessary?

For that I would use a stripping agent to make your life easier. Home Depot/Lowe’s sells for less than 10 bucks. Lather it on and scrape off with a putty knife/paper towel. Let the rest dry for 15-20 minutes and sand smooth. You could go straight to sanding but usually takes a while and you will likely run through a lot of sandpaper as it collects on the pads and makes it less effective.

Hello everyone, I am a fresher and I recently joined a management consulting firm(3 months) with 12+LPA and I realised MC is not for me.
I tried giving it a shot for the first 2 months but then I am just dragging there after. Anyhow yk how it's in MBA, campus placement leli without a thought plus lack of experience in everything. It's tough out there.
