Is laser cleaning safe for antique or historic wood?
Yes. The laser's wavelength is absorbed by the old finish — paint, varnish, coatings — but passes through the wood underneath, which doesn't absorb it. The coating vaporizes and lifts off; the grain, pores, and surface profile stay untouched. No raised fibers, nothing to sand out afterward.
How is laser stripping different from a chemical paint stripper?
A chemical stripper can't tell the difference between the old finish and the wood underneath — it swells the grain, opens the pores, and leaves residue that has to be sanded and neutralized. A laser removes only the coating layer, in a single pass, with no dwell time and no toxic runoff to dispose of.
Are chemical paint strippers actually dangerous?
Yes. Methylene chloride, the solvent in many traditional paint strippers, has been linked to a number of fatal exposures over the years. The EPA finalized a rule banning most uses of methylene chloride in April 2024, specifically citing risk to workers and the public. Source: EPA.gov, April 2024
