What are the pros and cons of using a chemical stripper vs sanding the original finish off?
Thanks

The question was just out of curiosity; I've read that some people preferred sanding to a chemical strippers, and I started wondering if there was some sort of untold problem with chemical strippers. For what its worth I also felt that in certain circumstances sanding off the original finish could easily lead to fit issues with various metal parts.Again, what rifle?
I'm no authority on chem strippers but sanding simply needs to be done with common sense. Where you can't afford wood loss you obviously must take caution and settle for very light sanding. If the stain is deep you probably won't be able to remove it all.The question was just out of curiosity; I've read that some people preferred sanding to a chemical strippers, and I started wondering if there was some sort of untold problem with chemical strippers.
