After i showed a friend the LP i refinished he was stunned and he had to confessed that when he saw that LP reliced he had to try the razor thing on his LP Studio, but he did a terrible job and now he gave it to me to do my thing.

 

*( I'm always using protective gloves and glasses, if you see my hand unprotected its just to grab the camera to take the photos.)

 

 

So here it is, meet the victim, a wine finished LP destroyed by the RAZOR!!!!:

Now for the stripper, i use a brush for this:

I like to use an old CD in half, its very practical and does not leave any scratches like use a metal one:

Some may find this disturbing:

I have used a 180, 220 and 320 grit wood sand paper to get a perfect sanding before the staining stage come up:
