Sir,

I found a stripper, CITRISTRIP, Paint & Varnish Stripping Gel. Purchased it at Lowes Home Improvement. Using it on my Silvertone 6362 to remove the old finish. Applying it lightly and using a green stripper pad like the one used in the kitchen to clean pans. So far applying lightly, waiting about 5 minutes, using the pad and then a soft cotton cloth to remove the residue is working well. I taped plastic wrap over the front to keep the cabinet cloth, which is somehow in excellent condition, from being stained.

Addtionally, at this link in the forum is an excellent artricle on restoring wooden cabinets:
