I recently received a Leedy Utility snare that had a thin coat of water based paint on top. So I stripped the drum down using Citristrip to get back to the wood finish. Only problem is that it took off some of the original finish as well. So now I want to just get back to the completely bare wood and finish it as close to original as possible. What type of coating should I apply and how should I apply it ?
Picture A=Before Shot
Picture B=After Strip
Picture C-A random internet shot of a similar drum with a finish I am guessing mine was close to at one time.
Thanks,
Derek
