41-290 READY FOR LACQUER
#5

Hi. I used Formsby's (sp?) finish restorer (purchased at Home Depot). Just follow directions and it works pretty well. One thing I did learn though, if there is any way at all you can get the result you want, with out having to take the old finish off via gradations of sanding and then applying clear laquer, or by using the turpentine, linseed oil vinagar mix, do so. That's what I would have done to the 41-290, but I learned that a little lafter the fact. Hope this helps.
