About 10 years ago a made a dresser from red oak to match in as much detail as possible an existing red oak dresser in our bedroom.
Time has passed and we moved the original red oak furniture out to another room and bought some cherry furniture that must be stained because it is fairly dark.
Problem: how to refinish my red oak dresser to at least fit in with new furniture. I don't expect it to look much like what we bought but I would like the finish to be closer than what I have now.
I finished the red oak dresser with poly. I have read about a way to get poly off using orange gel paint remover. Sounds like a nasty job especially on the drawer fronts which have a lot of three dimensionality to them (raised pulls etc etc.) Is there any product I can use that would work OVER the poly?
TIA.
