Gentleman;
From the experience file: Browning has the color mixed into the liquid finish before application. Each coat gets darker and it gives all stock the "same" color batch to batch. There is no dye, stain, or paint that will color over that particular finish....that I know of.
Fullerplast is nasty stuff to breath. Lost a lot of my ability to distinquish smells because of it. I was wearing a respirator, but not air assisted, during the early 80's and 90's. Live and learn.
Dr. Bill, I use JASCO Marine Grade Stripper to attack Browning and Remington finishes. Put it on and keep it wet. It will strip off the finish. Don't get in a hurry, let it work. Don't do too big of an area as the finish will molecularly bond harder to the wood, if left to dry. Wait for the finish to bubble and then remove it with popcycle sticks. It may leave small scrapes but they come out with light 220 sanding.
