Citristrip Removing Luster-Conn

Post by Driswood »

How effective is Citristrip at stripping Lustre-Conn lacquer? I’ve used it on Bachs and even Kings and it worked great. I have a 6H from the 50’s I’m thinking of stripping.
Anyone have experience with this?

Edit: I’m only stripping the bell, not the slide. I don’t want green hands.

LustreConn is an epoxy lacquer like the Kings. Whatever you did to strip King lacquer with Citristrip should work for the LustreConn.
