I use 5F5 chemical striper on all my projects.You can get at any hardware store. I have tried all the "environmentally friendly" and "low oder" products, and they don't work worth a darn. If it's not bad for you, it dosen't work. Protect yourself as the chemical stripers are no joke. I usually scrape lines in the finish before applying the striper, helps it bite in multiple layers if paint.It would be great to send it out if the budget allows.
