Hi Guys,
I'm building an RG from bits I've bought on EBay and I need to remove the finish as a) it's burgundy (yeuch) and
I need to do some filling on it (basically the screw for the bottom strap button has stripped a lot of wood out and theres nothing there to provide resistance so it falls out and the screw for the strap button on the top horn has sheared off and needs to be drilled out).I've decided to go for the sanding option - I don't like messing around with chemical strippers and I hate heat guns....Which method would be best? To hand sand or use an electric sander?
Any thoughts would be appreciated
Chris

I was thinking of sanding down to the sealer, doing the filling and then spray onto that...There are some bad chips up by where the top strap button should go so I'm thinking of taking off the finish altogether.
