[Tigers] Dashboard Refinish

[Ron Fraser]

Jim

                Most likely the original finish is a marine grade material; England you know.   I’m sure there are products out there that will strip it off but I’m not sure you would want those products soaking into the wood panel.

 

                I assume you want to refinish your dash.   You may want to just block sand the dash and then refinish it as you like.

You might want to  try the refinishing product on a sanded area to make sure it does not lift any of the original finish.

It's original. On the car in 1978 when I bought it.  A few small pieces have chipped off with a knife, but most of it still has quite a hold.  Lots of cracks.

In about 1979 I was able to chip it off with a small knife and screwdriver.
If its still on yours after all these years are you sure it is factory?  Most I saw way back when were all
cracking off.
Good luck,
Gary

Does anyone know what will remove the factory finish on our dashboards?  I’ve tried stripper, denatured alcohol and lacquer thinner.  Nothing lefts it off.  I tried a 1000 watt hair blower, but that only chipped some off where the finish was cracked.  Didn’t really soften it.
