Wrought Iron Umbrella Stand.
Because wrought iron contains less than one percent carbon, it resists corrosion better than other metals. To slow rust from forming, wrought iron is often painted. Over time, however, the paint can start to peel off and rust can form. Sometimes you can scrape the paint off by hand or use a dry wire brush, but neither of these methods is terribly effective. For better results, use a chemical paint stripper.
Instructions
1. Lay down a tarp to protect the work area.
2. Follow the application instructions given on the packaging of the paint stripper you choose. Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands when handling the chemical. You may even want to cover your mouth and nose to avoid breathing in the fumes.
3. Brush the wrought iron with a wire brush after the stripper is applied and removed. This will help remove any chemical residue.
4. Wipe down the wrought iron with a rag dampened with mineral spirits.
5. Allow the wrought iron to dry before repainting.
