Hi Keith

Sorry for this late reply...

Cabinet refinisher Barry Jones usually uses Citri-Strip to strip his cabinets. I tried it...and being an impatient sort...usually end up using rubber gloves and 0000 steel wool soaked in straight acetone. Acetone will strip anything...and will eat through the gloves in time. Be VERY careful with this stuff, it is highly toxic.

I have used Formby's in the past, but I wasn't really satisfied with it.

Otherwise I concur with everything Ed wrote above. Icon_smile
