Does anyone know what the finish is on cabinets as described above? If lacquer, for example, it could be stripped with lacquer thinner. Terrifically volatile, and one needs plenty of ventilation, but not particularly harmful as that sort of thing goes.
But, let me mention a method I use, although it is not entirely to the point. When stripping the finish off an older piece I use a mixture of 1 part methylene chloride stripper to three or four parts acetone. Using lots of ventilation and rubber gloves, I work the finish off using steel wool. This leaves the wood with much of the patina and color, rather than bleached out, dry, and lifeless.
Super runny, difficult to use on vertical surfaces, super flamable, and very quick to evaporate, so one can only do a small area at a time. But fairly quick working, and I really like the results.
