Awesome that was the plan this morning as soon as the other half go to work, the son and I will be working! How long does that stuff need to dry before satin is applied!

Even if you use a chemical stripper, you will have to do some sanding to get the wood ready to re-finish. Plus, stripper still leaves a bit of whatever you are trying to remove here and there. It gets most of the material, but not all.

Just sand it...stripper is bad for the wood according to my wood working teacher(causes it to crack sometimes, dries it out, etc.)
