What is a deglosser?

A deglosser is a chemical solvent used to prepare surfaces for painting by removing gloss from previously painted or finished surfaces. It typically contains solvents that help to break down the glossy finish, allowing for better adhesion of new paint. Deglossers are especially useful when repainting furniture or cabinetry, as they can save time and effort compared to sanding. Always use deglossers in well-ventilated areas and follow the manufacturer's safety instructions.
