I´ve finished a solid beech kitchen worktop with a water-based laquer from a German company, CLOU. The laquer ist their # 11. I´m unhappy with the colour (too pale) and its lack of resistance to normal kitchen use and wish to remove the laquer. Clou, the firm, say the only way is by sanding. I don´t see this as an option ! Can anyone suggest a suitable remover or stripper for a water-based laquer, or is the question too imprecise ?

Did you mix 2 parts together before using???
If so -- sanding may be the only way.
Even so -- I'd try a methylene chloride based stripper and see if it works. Its worth at least a shot

*Jeff is correct, there are no known solvents that will chemicaly wash a water based finish off of an exsisting substrate. Propylene glycol will soften a waterbase finish, I know that from using amalgamators from either Behlen or Mohawk when taking care of h2o damage to waterbase finished surfaces, but I've yet to find a solvent that will wash a waterbase finish completely off.Methylene chloride strippers are the only alternative to remove the finish completely.
