Refinishing - Stripping & Stain Unevenness

[pianolac]

Issac,
For all intents and purposes, methylene chloride has been virtually outlawed
by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) in the US.  The air
removal requirements are such that it is not practical.

For stripping pianos, mc is a poor material.  It has to be applied
repeatedly, burns the skin, can loosen glue joints, and must be carefully
removed for fear of its wax content leaving fisheyes.  Dyna 2 is applied
once, let sit overnight, and the finish falls off.  No wax, no fisheye,
won't effect glue, doesn't stink, no mc.  No problem staining afterward.

I don't manufacture Dyna 2.  If you wish, I can determine if there is French
distributorship.

I sell Dyna 2 as part of my environmentally responsible finishing system
that includes PianoLac (www.pianolac.com).
