When refinishing a stock, I routinely read that after an acetone soak to clean, de-oil the stock, the acetone soak should be followed with a soak in denatured alcohol. My questions are : (1) what is the typical duration of the alcohol soak and what is the metric by which one can tell the alcohol soak has accomplished all that it is going to do and (2) besides removing the finish which if shellac should occur quickly with alcohol, what is the purpose of soaking the stock in alcohol for days? Thanks.
