Chic, do you prefer the Jasco product over the Brownell's Certistrip? Does it work on Remington's epoxy finish?

if it's a browning or winchester, good luck

Try Zip Strip from any paint store.

Red,

Hey now dont be hornin in on my spot. I havent had enough beatings yet.

I use Formby's as long as the finish isn't too tough.

I thought Chic was going to get me a few good beatings after giving a few rude drivers the birdie



Although maybe he did it because I was there. He knew I would take the brunt of the beating



Personally I think all beatings should be saved for Howard!

No problem Chic. I just came in here from playing with the Nicholson rasp and the Vixen Wizcut thingy finishing up taking that cheekpiece down to the right place. Gotta say, you are damn lucky and I am sadly disappointed that you don't live close by, I would be over there staring over your shoulder till you beat me with a blunt object. :-)

Red, if it is lacquer, then lacquer thinner will work. If it one of those modern nuclear safe finishes use Jasco paint and epoxy remover. You can remove the goop and the finish with some steel wool. Use a stream of water to take the last part off. Dont use a metal scraper unless you really know how to handle one on a stock. You can fubar the thing quickly.

I need to answer your emails. Have been slacking, lol.

Hey DR,

Try some paint stripper. You'll need some kind of a scraper that will help it along but wont gouge the wood. For the first few coatings I just scrape it off with a plastic bondo blade then carefull and judicial use of a putty knife.

G'luck.

Dago Red,

Check with Brownell's. They have a product (I've forgotten the name) that will remove even the Remington and Weatherby finishes.

Hey guys, got a stock that I have no idea what the finish is, but it looks like maybe a laquer or something. I could probably just start in with some rough sandpaper, but have a feeling it is going to clog it up pretty bad, any other tips for removing this stuff?

I need to strip it then refinish so that I can practice checkering on it. seems like a lot of work just to mess it up again. :-)
