Stock Oil Finish Stripper

[Blackmax]

I'm interested in the views on what members have found to be the best stripper for oil finishes on stocks.

I've been using Paramorse which is excellent for laquers, varnishes and resins but just gat the feeling it's a little overkill on oiled wood.

I usually use Isopropyl alcohol, nice and cheap off of that auction site.

I'm sure I read acetone was good for tru oil removal.

Just make sure there is no plastic around.

Thanks. I've used thinners but found it hard work.

I've seen acetone advertised on the site where I get my wood restoring products so I might give that a whirl, not ever considered sugar soap?

Methohlated Spirit. cleans nicely and evaporates with no hard work.

No Sugar soap wont touch Truoil. I thought you meant an oil finished stock. Truoil is a type of wiping varnish.

You can chemically remove the lacquer from the surface if the oil used contained it in the first place but oil penetrates deep inside the wood by repeated application so gentle sanding I am afraid, maybe the only option.

Meths, white spirit or surgical spirit will wash out a proper oil finish

Truoil or Danish oil needs a proper varnish stripper.
