Hi Stuart,

I've always used multiple applications of paint stripper and never had problems. Are you using white spirit or water to "rinse" the cabinet? I would advise using white spirit, but don't over soak it!

White spirit gives a brief preview of how the veneer will look when finished. Try wiping over the cabinet with some and see if the uneven shades improve.
