Removing Poly

Does anyone know of anything other than elbow grease and scraper that
will remove poly? I haven't seen a paint remover that will touch it.

I can well imagine that the alcohol-based strippers won't do anything to it.
Have you tried one of the methylene chloride based strippers, like ZipStrip?

Aircraft-type stripper with methylene chloride is the only type
that really touches that shi^H^Htuff, Fred. Now you know just 1
of the -many- reasons I dislike that polyurinestain stuff.

There is stripper that will cut poly... They sell two types
and you MUST get the poly version.

60 grit on a ROS seems to cut through it reasonably quickly. Less
elbow grease anyway.
