Prime that stripper

My husband and I were renovating our bathroom. One day, before leaving for work, he suggested I pick up some paint stripper and start working on the trim and vanity cabinet. He reminded me to apply just a thin layer to soften the old paint layers.

Well, I got the stuff and tried to get it to work, but to no avail. I put more and more on the trim, eventually using the whole can, but the paint still wouldn’t scrape off. When my husband got home, he discovered I’d given up in frustration. He came out of the bathroom, laughing: “I said paint stripper, not primer.”
