<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 637788, member: 15199&quot;]Boss,</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; If the xylene didn&#039;t dissolve it, it must be an acrylic lacquer ( post 1955 ) or a polyurethane material which produces a cross linked thermoplastic reaction. Xylene should work well with the natural lacquers or shellacs used previous to this time. Although it didn&#039;t dissolve, did it soften? In some woodworker&#039;s magazines, they use solvents to soften it and then peel it off. I am sure you would have mentioned if it had. If it is a lost cause, the only thing I might think of is DMSO which is a solvent used with epoxies and others. It is readily absorbed through the skin though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
