I have just bought a 4 drawer dresser, believed to be about 40-45 years old. Currently it is painted with numerous coats of (possibly) heavy enamel white paint. I attempted twice to strip off the paint and then uncovered another layer of an old urethane sealer-or whatever was used. This seems to mostly unremoveable and does appear to be somewhat yellowed in places. We are really wanting to begin at ground zero and start with a completely new stain and finish, but so far nothing seems to be cutting through this stuff. Any suggestions or hints would be greatly appreciated. I'm stuck.

I would suggest you use the PEEL AWAY 7 product for your project. It should remove all of the paint in one application and will keepthe natural color of the wood.
