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.
