removing danish oil - stained

[old_picker]

any way to strip danish?
i added a little stain and it went on badly

[rsser]

No, you're st*ffed cos it soaks into the wood. You need to strip the DO'd wood I'm afraid.

Too late to say 'test first'?

[old_picker]

You need to strip the DO'd wood I'm afraid.
?

how ??

i have done this before and it worked pretty good
this time i used a different DO

[rsser]

How? Sand, plane, whatever. Sorry to say.

Never heard of the Chinaman's horse?

Diff oil, diff properties.

[old_picker]

thanks fotr that - i thought that might be the only way
any idea how far it goes in - more than a mil?
its fairly soft open grain US ash

[rsser]

Dunno bout US ash.

What kind of DO was it?

[old_picker]

BLO 1
Polyurethane 1
turps 1

i used cabots the first few times with stain and pretty good results specially the last time
i been using my own brew for a little while without stain and getting excellent results - in fact i liked it better than the cabots - so i tried it with stain and it looks like cr@p

2 days work in the job and $200 of wood

If your home brew DO affected the stain, it may be wise to try and wipe the whole thing down with thinners to see if it removes the lot before you resort to the belt sander / planing.

[rsser]

Not thinners; if you want to try this, and I wouldn't think it has much chance, use Turps or White Spirits.

[old_picker]

tried thinners - wouldnt even look at it
turps wont either
tried some stripper which took off the surface but what was left was very uglee
i got some test bits going --- [] to see how far it woulda soaked in - checking feasability of sanding

most of the job could lose 1mm - 1/2mm in some places the r - 1 spot no tolerance at all
i would have to repeat the cabotsytreatment with cabots DO and wear that small section

luckily theres no glueing

[rsser]

No, the solvents aren't likely to work once the DO has gone off.
