How do I remove wood stain?

[zook]

I'm not sure if it falls under home repair pero since it involves some kind of woodwork baka pwede narin. :) Anyway, I'm refinishing a 1976 Greco Telecaster and I've been unsuccessful in trying to get rid of the paint stains.

I tried Davies wood stain, ayaw pa rin. I tried sanding it, palalim na ng palalim, it's still there. I tried wet sanding with denatured alcohol, lacquer thinner and paint thinner mukhang walang pagbabago. Pano ba diskarte dito?

I tried Davies #1 pero walang epekto. According to the instructions, I still need #2 wood bleach kaso wala naman akong makita na Davies #2.

Any of you guys used Davies #2 wood bleach? Do I really need it, at para san ba ito?

It's a 2-part bleaching system. You'll need #2 to activate the bleach without it will not work. They are usually sold together. if you can't find 2-part bleach try other brands.

If you are unable to remove the stain, why not use a darker wood stain to hide the mark?

I'll just continue on this thread since almost the same topic.

When we bought our former home, I did not like the enamel-painted yellow door. So I stripped it. It still had paint in the nooks and crannies. After some sanding and bleaching, it looked good to me. The left-over paint actually gave the door a somewhat aged-look. Looked elegant so we kept it that way.
