I finally finished a job that almost broke me last week

Had a client bring in a huge oak table that was covered in old, thick varnish. Spent two full days just stripping it with a heat gun and my trusty Bahco scraper, and my arms are still sore. The wood underneath was beautiful, but the client wanted a milk paint finish, which is always tricky to get smooth. After three coats and a ton of sanding, it looked perfect on Friday. Has anyone else had a project that felt like a marathon from start to finish?

Heard milk paint can be a real pain to work with. Did you use a special kind of sandpaper between coats?

I mean, it's not that bad if you just use regular sandpaper.
