I have just stripped a Montgomery Wards 1940's sewing machine cabinet with a
blond finish on it that showed the underlying mahogany wood grain through it.

The blond finish was almost like a see through paint. Ugly as snot.

Zip Strip with a denatured alcohol wash has successfully removed the finish
accept for what remains down in the grain of the mahogany. I am finding it to be
a challenge to remove necessitating aggressive brass brushing with the alcohol.

Am I on the right track with the use of additional Zip Strip and the brass
brush? I absolutely do not want to use a card scrapper and sand paper to get to
the bottom of the grain lines because the cabinet cover and side panels uses
thin mahogany veneer.

If anyone can suggest another faster method of finish removal from the grain,
I'd be very pleased.
