<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 12708918, member: 37&quot;]Latex paint usually comes off pretty easily.&nbsp; Soften it with a little furniture polish or an oil-soap solution and chip it off.&nbsp; A fingernail is not the worse method of chipping it off.&nbsp; Otherwise, a soft wood splint is my go-to for this.&nbsp; I would not use a metal scraper unless absolutely necessary.&nbsp; I sometimes use an x-acto knife so that I can have minute control. Steel wool can be used afterwards if you need to even out the finish. If you need to add more finish, a tung-oil varnish would be appropriate and easy to apply with a rag.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For on-going maintenance, it really depends on the condition to begin with.&nbsp; If it needs cleaning, a solution of oil-soap, well wrung from a rag, should do the trick.&nbsp; If the finish is dry and/or patchy. The tung-oil varnish will help it.&nbsp; It may take several coats to get a uniform finish.&nbsp; Once the finish is in good condition, protect it with a furniture paste wax.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Really doesn&#039;t matter whether solid or veneer.&nbsp; You just don&#039;t want to get veneers too wet, as they can raise. If well adhered, you don&#039;t usually need to worry about veneers unless doing something drastic (stripping, sanding, etc.).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
