| Morley Mar 20, 2024 15:05:33 | Remove Acrylic Lacquer I have an IKEA table with an acrylic lacquer finish over a dark stain on oak veneer. I would like to strip and refinish so that it is lighter. What stripper would you recommend? |
| Mark Mar 20, 2024 15:52:44 | Re: Remove Acrylic Lacquer Any of the Circa 1850 removers should work on the table if it is a conventional lacquer. For catalyzed lacquers, you can try the Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper or Heavy Body Remover. |
| Morley Mar 21, 2024 13:13:26 | Re: Remove Acrylic Lacquer Thanks for your quick reply. I think it is a catalyzed lacquer or tougher type becuase I was not able to soften it with lacquer thinner, methyl hydrate or ethanol. Which of the Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper or Heavy Body Remover would be more effective on catalyzed lacquers? |

| Mark Mar 21, 2024 14:12:45 | Re: Remove Acrylic Lacquer Circa 1850 Heavy Body Remover will stay active for a longer period of time, so it should be more effective |
