list, I wonder if you all (as many opinions as I can get) would enlighten me on what you do in the stripping process. I'm specifically interested in everything that comes before repairs and coloring etc. Perhaps more to the point is whether or not you are seeking to make the wood as bare as possible i.e. devoid of any color, or are you simply removing topcoat, then repairing, even out color and re-topcoat? It seems that my attempts seem to bring the finished product darker than I would like by attempting to make everything the same color. I have only removed finish in the past but am contemplating bleaching. Is this necessary in order to get the lighter colors I'm after? Would you be kind enough to describe exactly the steps and materials and tools you use in the stripping process? Thanks in advance. Greg Newell Greg's piano Forté mailto:gnewell@ameritech.net
