Paint stripper
#20

I used the lacquer thinner/acetone mixture and it worked like a charm on my 40-158. I still have to do a little bit of repair up where it is damage at the upper front curved area, but then I'm ready to start the refinish and have some Mohawk dark walnut toner and clear lacquer ready to order, do I need the sanding sealer too? What are the actual steps I need to refinish this? Mask off what I don't want toner on, spray the toner to the darkness I want, unmask then 0000 steel wool the toner, then use sanding sealer, then the clear coat? This is my first cabinet refinish so I don't quite know what I am doing.
