Alright, I need some restoration advice. I have a '30's Lacquered Mahogany Dining Room Set that's seen better times. The top and sides have finish problems ranging from minor chips, dings and abrasions to a few white-rings and a one pretty good-size (1/4" x 3/4") top scrape. A couple of the abrasions are into the wood pretty good, other than that most are superficial. Oh, and paint... there are a couple of smears of off-white paint on the chairs.
Q. What is anybody's experience with going over an existing laquer finish wholesale with lacquer thinner to get to a uniform level surface?
Just curious what's the best method is to begin to skin this cat...
