nothinghead Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 OK, Hee we go I am stripping an Ibanez body using my heat gun. I have removed most of the color can see the wood. It appears that I have reached what I believe is the sealer. In some spots it is down to wood, but most of it is there. It does not seem to react well to the heat and I got some minor burns. Is it easier to strip this part with chemicals, and if so can someone suggest a brand. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 What are you trying to do? Re paint it a solid color? Or transparent showing the wood... if it is a solid color, you, indeed caused more work than you needed... All you needed to do was to scuff the old paint with at least a 400 sand paper and take care of any ding on the body, then use that as a base. Now you have to seal the wood and prime, etc... If it is the other, then I wouldn't use chemical strippers, I rather sand it out! This way when you paint you don't run the chance of contamination.

nothinghead Posted February 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 (edited) Yeah, I am going to put a veneer on top. Stain the top, and tung oil the whole thing. Do I have to use a sealer on it, or will the tung oil act as a sealer? Thanks for the help!!!
