What is the best way to remove lacquer from wood?
Answers:
There are actual several chemical products designed to remove lacquer from wood, and they are available at most home improvement stores. Make sure you get a product designed to do the job you have in mind. These products are not terribly expensive. Sanding can be a time consuming business. Once you remove the bulk of the lacquer with a removal product, then you can sand to remove any last traces, and to help prepare the wood for being restained or painted.
