254773 Ed Minch <ruby@m...> 2015‑05‑19 Re: How to remove all finish from mahogany veneer
There are now water based products that they use to strip 10-15-20 years of
bottom paint off the bottom of boats.  ONe trick I saw them use was a heavy
sheet of plastic over the goop after plastering it all over the hull.  I tried
using household plastic wrap (Cling Wrap IIRC) when I stripped a piece and it
definitely kept the goop from drying out and made it work a little better.
