Have any of you had any luck removing water-based lacquer?  <snip>  I've tried a few strippers and nothing seems to really be working. 

Jeff -

I have been using water-based for well over 15 years, but oddly enough have not yet encountered stripping it.  What strippers have you used, and what happens when you use them?  I would find it very surprising if a decent solvent-based (methylene chloride) stripper didn't attack the stuff with relative ease.
