Hey there, I have an Ibanez SR300 that i am refinishing for myself, but i am having trouble getting the sealer off. I have tried sanding, heat gunning, and stripping with chemicals, and nothing is even coming close to taking it off. With sanding, it's just not economical to keep wasting sheets of it, on the other hand, the heat gun burns the wood before the sealant even starts to melt/scrape off, and with the chemicals, I have used the strongest stuff i could find at my local hardware store (almost burned my skin off with one). It doesn't even touch the sealant. Has anyone worked with an ibanez SR300 like this or any other paint like this? if so, how did you get it off?
P.S. I can't understand why there is 4 to 5 coats of paint/sealer/primer on this thing. There is a top orange coat, a thin gold coat under that, then a thin silver coat, then the thick 1.5mm sealer under that. Bonus points for figuring out why so many coats. Thanks in advance!
