The right stripper?

Thanks all! I'll go Mayo first, and anything left will be hit with mineral spirits and soap.

I don't want to strip it completely and refinish as this chair is part of a dining room set and I'm entirely certain there is no method for me to match the finish.




Worked great! Thanks!

Which did most of the work? The mayo or the post cleaning?

Hard to say. I had my daughter do all the work. Also, the complicating factor was that during the overnight mayonaise soak, the dog got into the garage and did a fairly thorough job of 'cleaning' the mayonnaise off.

Who knows? Maybe dog snobber is the secret ingredient! In any case, the chair is now clean and solid.
