 Re: Removing old varnish

Some of the citrus based paint removers (containing limolene) can be found at the hardware store. These paint removers in my experience are milder and better for the wood - do not remove a whole bunch of oil - than organic solvent based strippers. The keywork should be removed and once stripped the wood should be cleaned with a water based cleaner and finally with a clean water damp cloth. After drying overnight the wood should be oiled. I have stripped a number of Eastern European clarinets coated with black varnish this way and the results have been good. Hope this helps.
