roger Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Anyone stripped a stingray body? I’m guessing it’s polyurethane! Heat gun/chemicals, any help would be appreciated. cheers roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I’ve stripped a few jazz bodies which were poly and imo, the heat gun is the best tool, don’t hold it on for too long, you will see when it starts to bubble and just scrape it off, wear a mask or do it outside if you can 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

songofthewind Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I’ve stripped a few bodies and then refinished them. The last one, I decided to use the existing finish as the base coat. that worked very well, and saved me the bother of hours with a heat gun. Lightly sanded poly takes undercoat very well.

I’m going from honeyburst back to natural and finished with tru oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
