I've got a large-ish (12" tall by about 10" diameter) HF that I put 9 coats of lacquer on, let cure for 2 months, then sanded back a bit and polished. It's got issues...a number of areas with blushing (it's a real problem here in the humid southeast) and a number of small areas that got over sanded down to the wood.
I want to get rid of the lacquer and finish it in oil or wipe on poly (haven't decided yet). Is sanding it down the best way to go, or is there a chemical option that would be quicker? My only hesitation in sanding is that I already have the wood sanded to 2000 grit. I'm guessing that to sand off the lacquer, I'm probably going to need to go at it with something like 120 and then work my way through all the grits again.
Thanks,
Grey
