Will a light sanding take the finish off, or with the process that was used do you have to sand till you get to a natural wood color? Don't know if that makes sense.
I have never used a chemical stripper, and I am a total novice at this type of stuff. I don't know if you saw some of the post while you were gone, but I think I will just have to paint the cabinet. If I paint and prime it do I need to give it a real good sanding?
Thank you for help Glenn,
