I found a picture from back when I started the polyurethane strip last month.
Instructions are pretty straightforward:
- apply thick layer of methylene chloride
- find something to do for half an hour, until surface is bubbly
- scrape off the old urethane with a paint scraper
- repeat on tough areas
- rub surface with paint thinner; areas that do not soak up the thinner and become visibly darker still have urethane protecting the finish and will need to be sanded or scraped further
- clean surface area
- sand with 180 grit.
I recommend this work be completed in a well ventilated room that isn't used for sleeping. Having no access to a shop or garage, I was forced to sleep among the fuming organ and each night I followed a continuing dream in which I metamorphose into the organ itself with Fats Waller and Keith Emerson simultaneously hacking at my teeth and tickling my underarms.
Pictures of the aniline dyed finish to come soon.
