I took the recommendation of " and used Jasco's
Premium Paint & Epoxy Remover because it claimed to:

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

After following the above process FOUR times, almost all of the
original finish remained. Jasco wasted my money and wasted my time.

====================

Well, it looks like someone has been usnig my name in vain while I was
working this weekend. Where to start....

You took my advice and used Jasco and it wasted your money and time?

First dummy, I never told you to use the Jasco product. Or anything
like that. I am not familiar with it, so I wouldn't recommend it. I
was SPECIFIC about the brands so you could get your dimwitted self down
to buy the right kind. Was Jasco on sale? Would you claim that a it
would be a similar situation to use oil base paint interchangeably with
latex paint on a project because they are both "paint"?

Since you had nothing to offer other than whining that it didn't work,
how does anyone know what kind of stripper you used? Acid? Solvent?
Thixotripic?

Worse, I even suggested that you could just sand the whole thing off.
In writing. But, like a 12 year old boy that just found his ding dong,
you were overjoyed you happened on to that solution all by yourself.

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!!

How creative of you. How original.

It is pointless of you to ask a question when you ignore a detailed
answer and complain about the results you got. And even more pointless
for someone to respond to you when you don't read or understand the
language.

I just re-read my post to you. I even explained the differences in
finish and how to get a good idea of what they are. Then I explained
the chemical composition of most strippers. I do not believe if you
followed those simple instructions on how to determine finish and
correct stripper you screwed it up so badly.

Well.... wait.... maybe you did.
