I have a wood dash that requires refinishing.  Some of the thick
finish is easily peeled off.  It is well yellowed but remains
fairly flexible.  I have soaked some of the pieces directly
in acetone, without any apparent effect.  I am now trying a
MEK-based paint stripper.  I bet this will not work either.

Does anyone have experience with the finish used on TR
wood dashes, and how to strip them?  The stuff seems
just about indestructable!

How about those dark lines that occur in the raw
wood beneath the cracks?  I have heard that oxalic
acid will remove the stains.
