Remove wood filler

[Loki7430]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help. We are stripping oak beams in our C17 house using Peelaway 7. It is generally working fine in the first couple of rooms (though hard work) but I've hit a stumbling block. In the hallway one of the beams seems to have been plastered in wood filler to smooth it out. Bit lumps are fine but where they've smoothed the whole surface it is a nightmare - really tough to move. Is there anything that will 'dissolve' wood filler without damaging the timber?
Thanks

Ian

I don't know the answer but if I had a similar problem I'd call these people: https://www.stripperspaintremovers.com/

Try, gently, a steam wallpaper stripper - depending on what sort of filler it is that may soften the filler enough to make it easier to pick out
