[C38] Varnish Removal

[Les]

Try Interlux 299e in combination with lacquer thinner afterwards.  We
use a glue brush cut off so it is very stiff.  (the glue brush is one of
those small brushes held by a metal tube.)  Some tooth brushes will work
also, but test them off the boat because some disolve.

We strongly recommend a book called Brightwork.  It gives good info on
all the hints and kinks.  Following the book our varnish lasted almost 9
years before this last strip down and re-do. 

Regards,
