Acetone Frank. Works great and will not harm limbs.

I've used the acetone but still prefer 0000 steel wool, mineral spirits and elbow grease.

600 grit wet/dry sandpaper and keep it wet finish off with 1500 grit wet

Frank, if ya use acetone, wear rubber gloves and a mask, fumes are harmeful and if it gets on your skin it is harmful to your body.

I've used the spray Goof-off. Great results. Does not seem to bother the finish.
