The little "tool" add-on's have never worked very satisfactorily for me (the finger sander works best but the rounded tool has been a total flop).<br /><br />The Zinsser Strip Fast is stronger than the Minwax Antique Furniture refinisher, both are "no-scrape-stripers, but is significantly cheaper (available in gallon cans, as well). I like to use the Zinsser to disintegrate as much of the finish as possible, so as to limit the amount of destructive sanding on thinly veneered pieces (not that it was an issue on this chair.<br /><br />The last pics are of the finished chair but the pics just didn't come out well.bopfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04880708937891972273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4595853354562284182.post-509900865116312052012-10-18T18:22:09.283-07:002012-10-18T18:22:09.283-07:00The sand job looks pretty darn good considering, I...The sand job looks pretty darn good considering, I assume, you didn't disassemble the piece. I've already burned up (the cheap plastic stand-offs that hold the pad broke into pieces) of one of that particular brand of sander without even giving it that much of a workout and since replaced. I haven't found a cost effective alternative and I plan I just returning for another replacement as needed. I guess these are not made for long term use! The chair has some really nice lines! I normally don't use chemical strippers but might consider this for the right situation. Looks great so far! Like to see some after pics...<br />A consignor of mine dropped of a "road" find/kill of a similar chair that she just gave me. If I can save, I'll be posting about soon. It makes your find look pristine! But I paid nothing for it!A Modern Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622051392240072802noreply@blogger.com
