I make my own
50/50 ish Polyurethane (oil based) floor varnish and thinners, I prefer Satin.......but each to their own.....
Stripped, stained, Poly'd and reassembled in 10 days....

- I want to use tru oil as I've never used it before, and I've bought it now.
- The paint is linseed oil based, so I reckon it will be compatible with the tru oil. And I like the colour.
- I've used stain on my last 2 products and I want a solid finish
- I am a bloody minded fool
- it's an experiment anyway and I'm in no rush.
So we'll see how it goes...
The brush marks hardened to resemble a vinyl record, and the grooves are proving extremely tricky to sand out - as @SteveRobinson correctly predicted.
So it's time to get rid. I guess that means:
- more aggressive sanding with grittier paper
- heat gun
- chemicals
I'm worried about flammability with the heat gun, and I'm worried about the binding with both heat gun and chemicals. There's binding front and back, in the f-holes and round the headstock - so hard to avoid.
Is there a chemical stripper that won't damage the binding?
Or will it have to be a patient and vigorous sanding?
As you can see the amount of pigment wasn’t sufficient to fill the grain.
Scraping the concave sections will be difficult without a curved scraper
