I have used ammonia as a furniture stripper. It works great but is very runny. I would like to combine it with cornstarch. I am afraid it will either become gaseous or toxic. I would also like to ask just how toxic ammonia is alone. Once it is used as a stripper, the ammonia or the ammonia/cornstarch mix, does the chemical composition become toxic when introduced to the poly urethane/acrylic/laquer finish etc.. . I do not assume that the ammonia alone once used as a stripper does not become toxic as a mix, simply because of the addition of the surface being removed. I am very curious though. Once the urethane (etc.)is dried and then removed by ammonia. Just how much toxicity is reintroduced or is recreated? Or maybe, does it become worse in this form? Or is it possibly inert? Thats it! Thanks alot for your help. I have been looking for these answers for awhile. Have a great day! Jazzme
