RE: panZZer

In my experience you don't want to go nuts experimenting on 40 year old veneer and glues unless you are okay with potential loss and/or problems. The most intelligent thing to do is TEST the stripping product on a small area which is the least visible (though this may not be an option in you case).

Wood is a natural material and not always predictable. There can be great variations within the same species, sometimes even the same tree depending on where, how, and when the material was cut. There is no such thing as "WON'T phase it SLIGHTLY" when it comes to this type of work.

Acetone probably will not strip the finish without upsetting the glue.
