HELP - removing feast & watson stain

[ajm]

one step closer to divorce. i stained the new front door using F&W stain. She hates it and wants a clear coat finish. What will remove the stain. Now, it might help to know that she had already applied two coats of varnish (cabot's, i think). can i use paint stripper?

If it was a stain and not a tinted top coat then sanding is the only way that I am aware as stain soaks into the surface of the timber.
Outdoor clear coats usually have some tint applied to stop UV from destroying them.

Yes sanding only, well you know now. And do a sample for approval, but you know that now too . And save your 'ands' it's just Feast Watson, no and
