"Stripping involves the chemical removal of the existing finish on the wood, using a stripping agent to dissolve the old varnish or paint. This process requires tools like paint scrapers, stripping brushes, and protective gear to handle the chemicals safely."
"Sanding, on the other hand, physically removes the finish by grinding down the surface of the wood. You'll need a drum sander, edger, and various grades of sandpaper. Sanding is more aggressive as it removes not just the finish but also a layer of the wood itself, allowing for a fresh surface to be exposed."
"Sanding generally takes the lead. Sanding is typically quicker as it combines both the removal of the finish and the smoothing of the surface into one process."
