Does the 20 Deluxe use photofinish?
#4

I usually don't do any sanding till all the stripping is done. The veneer on the cabinet is thin and it is easy to sand thru it chemical is the way to go. After the stripping light sanding using a block on flat surfaces and just hand on the others is good to level the grain as the process tends to raise it. I don't use lower than 320G for this, 400G is good too but a little more work.

Citrustrip is a good start. It's easy to work with and you won't need a fireman's scott pack to get near your work. Some use steel wool I like scotch brite pads. Auto paint stores or ebay sell them the red and the grey ones are what you would get (a bit on the rougher side). And odorless mineral spirits (oms). You want the stuff in the metal can not in the plastic jug. The jug stuff is low voc and is worthless. This is used to cleanup the cabinet and get all the stripper off.

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Yeah, always wondered why they call them spirits "odorless". It sure enough smell like a gas station.morzh — 10:10 AM

No, it did not use photo-finish. It is veneer with the shading on the front of changing darkness.morzh — 07:52 AM
