Default Re: Wooden cabinet re-finishing

I had a Bush PB case (53 I think) that had staining that showed after I removed the varnish. I dampened the veneer and scraped it (Stanley blade) while wet, then when completely dry, a light sanding.
This worked but is obviously dangerous as the wood is more prone to damage when damp. Dampness also stands the grain up, so might let out dirt or chemical stains.

BUT, the staining was not caused by the varnish removal, as I did that with the scraper.

Hope you enjoy your 10 minutes in the sun!
