Default Limited re-finishing

I took " suggestion and used Jasco's Premium
Paint & Epoxy Remover because it:

1. "removes tough and easy coatings including paint, epoxy, urethane,
latex, lacquers"
2. is "fast-acting in 5-15 minutes"
3. "removes "multiple coats with one application".

I used a new paint brush to flow the remover on in a thick coat in one
direction. I waited 15 minutes (until surface was blistered) and I
removed the finish with a plastic spatula.

ALL OF JASCO's CLAIMS WERE LIES!! After following the above process
FOUR times, almost all of the original finish remained.

I then used a DeWalt Heavy-Duty 1/4-Sheet Palm Grip Sander. I started
with 80-grit sandpaper and it removed ALL of the finish very quickly
and cleanly. I then used a 150-grit sandpaper and finished with a
220-grit sandpaper. FANTASTIC RESULTS!!

Jasco wasted my money and wasted my time. It should be ashamed and
embarrassed to sell such a worthless product.
