Hey everyone. I just KNOW that this information is listed somewhere in the forum, so please feel free to direct me to a thread. I have a guitar that I want to strip down to the bare wood and then refinish. But I have NEVER had success stripping the clear coat and/or finish off a guitar using a chemical stripper:angry: !! I've used many different brands of stripper, but I've never been able to even penitrate the clearcoat, much less the stain itself. I've heard of "air craft" stripper, but I haven't found any yet. I MUST be missing something somewhere because this is such a common thing to do. So if anyone has information they could convey, I'd really appreciate it. I'm about to go out and get a power hand sander for this project (I really just need to have one anyway), but thought I'd try the forum first. Thanks a lot!!
