A while back I had to take the finish off of my old BD and it was winter time. I hadn’t removed a finish in decades and I needed something that I could use indoors with no harmful vapors etc (that old stuff really burned and was very poisonous). I used 3M’s Safest Stripper and it worked quite well.
While I was researching this product I ran across some info from collectors of old pinball machines who were using this stuff because they discovered that they could apply it for a brief time, on a machine that had been re painted, and it was gentle enough to only remove the new paint and preserve the original paint and artwork underneath.
I am wondering have any of you tried this stuff on drums? I wasn’t preserving any finish, but those who desire the preservation of an original finish might have some success using this product.:2Cents:
