hey there today I want to show you how to remove hemp oil or wax from a painted
piece of furniture so that you can paint over it again stay tuned
so when you have put wax or hemp oil on a piece of furniture and later you
decide that you want to repaint it or you want to put a different kind of
finish over top you want to make sure you remove your wax or your hemp oil
first the wax or hemp oil is oily and paint will not adhere to it so it has to
be removed before you can paint over it in this video I'll show you exactly how
to do that we're going to demonstrate it on this table over here which is painted
in Pebble Beach and then I put a coat of hemp oil on the top of the table so what
I'd like to do is tape off the table halfway because I want to show you what
happens when you paint over the hemp oil and when you remove it first and then
paint it so we're gonna tape it down the middle and then I will remove the hemp
oil on one side and not on the other side okay so the best way to remove hemp
oil or natural wax or any colored wax is to use rubbing alcohol some people
recommend odorless mineral spirits but I'm not a big fan of solvents so I
prefer to use the rubbing alcohol which you just can buy at any local pharmacy
what you want to do is you can either spray it on your piece or if you have a
bottle you can just do what I'll demonstrate right now as you can just
put some on your cloth and start rubbing it on your piece of furniture
and we will go ahead and remove all of the hemp oil on this side of the table
okay so now we have hemp oil on this side and removed it on the other side so
what I want to do is paint the tabletop in the color dune grass and just after
about an hour so we'll come back and I'll show you what happens with either
with both sides
we are back with our table that we painted in dune grass with the hemp oil
underneath it on that site and we removed a hemp oil on this site so we
now is a test and we can see how well it had heared on both sides so first let's
look at the hemp oil side and see what happens if i take my nail and scratch it
over the surface and see if i can remove the paint and it's kind of hard to see
the device scratch it does tend to come off and it's a little bit hard to see
because it's it's a pretty light color underneath but it doesn't adhere super
well to the hemp oiled surface it's still surprisingly adhered quite okay
and this is only dried for about an hour's that's not very long now let's
see what happens on this side where we removed the hemp oil
yeah I cannot I mean it's not been quite long enough but if you can see I'm not
removing the dune grass finish on this side so you definitely want to always
remove your hemp oil or natural wax before you paint over it to get the
strongest finish like this surprisingly stayed on quite okay but I can
definitely see that it comes off more on the hemp oil side then on the non hand
boiled side if you have any questions about your specific projects don't
