Didn't seem to do much anyway

why do you want to strip the gloss paint off? you want bare wood? or you painting again?

Just redecorating and I hate the look you get where there is layer upon layer of paint on wood so I thought I would strip it now (only been painted once b4) and start again

Turps will only degrease it, you need some high grit sandpaper and a lot of energy, give it a coat of primer(water based wood primer) and then fill the defected areas and abraid smooth, then the prep work is 50% done.

Well I'm a Painter and Decorator myself, so maybe I'd go round and do her decorating, and hopefully test her wrist out
