Wood stripper. What will do a good job taking old varnish off of my wood?

When I have done furniture refinishing I have used Formby's. Seems to get the job done. Not the most fun thing I ever did, but it worked well and did not seem too harsh to the wood below.

If you are doing teak, I would take it easy towards the end rather that stripping the oils out of the teak any more than you have to.

Heat and sharp tools. Or 80 grit and a good hand. Play a Kazoo in the backround.

We might want to make some detailed stickies for the forum.

Have Jack call the folks in Me. Epifanes. It`s all there.

How are things at Woody`s?

"How are things at Woody`s?"

Sandy I must admit years ago me and some buddys were having a few brews at Woody's and there was this, uh shall we say dancer, who was so ugly I gave her $10 to put her clothes back on. It sure was funny then.......

I think this was her... http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/07/3...g-accused.html

So basically I have 3 choices.

1) Heat gun and peel it off.

2) Sand it off with 80 to 120 grit.

3) Chemical stripper.

D) hire an "undocumented worker" for $8hr to do it for me.

yup! Or con your son into doing it for nothing and then have to go back and correct his work. You'll still pay any way you go. BL's rule number 6; You have to pay to play!
