No, not a teaser. At the risk of asking a nauseous (asked too many times), I have several antiques that need refinishing. I see Methelyne Chloride seems to be the most recommended. What is your favorite?
Thanks

Darn you beat me to it.
This is worth a look, especially if you want something non-toxic and environmentally friendly:

Altho others have, I've not had much luck with any of the enviro friendly strippers, with the exception of one Peel Away product (see below).
So I stick with the stuff containing MC. Various brands contain varying amounts of MC (more is better). Those labeled "nonflammable" generally contain the highest concentration of MC, and will be the most effective.
Strippers labeled for Marine applications seem generally to be the most powerful. My local paint store carries one by James Day, but I don't know if this is distributed nationally.
Also, for reasons I can't explain, liquid stippers often seen to have more "bite" to them for varnished surfaces, and are considerably less messy. I use the Kleen Strip version ####lot.
Finally, I can't tell you why, but for some reason a given stripper will be very effective on one project, and then very ineffectual on the next. So it pays to experiment.
As far as non-MC strippers are concerned, I've had good results with Peel Away 7 on painted surfaces You'll have to scroll down for the description:
