To be honest Mike, slim to none. Stain will be all the way through the top ply as it is so thin.

Mike, I Have Been At The Ludwig Factory Very Many Times It Is Only 70 Miles From My House, And Have Watched Them Stain Many A Drums, The Stain The Factory Uses Is Water Based, You Could Try A Liquid Paint Stripper On The Stain Finish, And It Would Probably Remove Alot Of The Stain, But I Have To Agree With Lugwig-dude The Plies Are So Thin You Will Probably Have To Sand All The Way Through The Outer Ply, Good Luck, Mark
