Has anyone tried Mule Deer’s suggestion on the thread in Ask the Gunwriters? He suggested rubbing with OOOO steel wool to knock the mud down showing more grain. Seems like a reasonable thing to try for someone who is intimidated by the whole stripping process as I am.
Sitka deer suggested using Formby’s Furniture Refinisher with rough rags. It looks like that product has been discontinued by a large firm that produces Minwax Furniture Refinisher and I see reports that many think it is not nearly as good. Apparently there are a few sellers of old stock of Formby’s but it’s pricey — $149 for a pint!
