Removal of old finish was a real challenge. Tried with stripping liquid, no real results and very slow. Then with lacquer thinner…meh. Also denatured Alcohol but not happy.
Finally, I opted to scrape all old finish with a card scraper and sand down to bare wood. I don’t know what type of finish they used back then but was impervious to all I applied.

Maybe it was but I have no experience removing cellulose lacquer before so I can’t tell. It was fairly easy to scrape off though.
Have your say...
