I have applied three coats of paint/varnish remover to the bottom half of the radio, and it is frustrating.

First, getting all the paint and varnish off the bottom trimwork is not happening all that well.

Second, on some of the vertical wood pieces on the front of the grill, the black from the paint has actually been absorbed into the wood, and will not come out with remover or application of mineral spirits.

Here are some pictures.

Looking at the bottom left of the last picture, at the bottom of the left verticle piece, those dark patches are not from any finish left on the wood. It is like a dye stain that has entered the wood.

does anyone have any suggestions for getting this out?
