Heath apparently used various paint formulas. I recently put a real grungy 
SB-200 cabinet in the dw hoping for a cleaning and stripping. It came out 
perfectly clean and no paint missing other than what was all ready gone. A 
little bit of sanding, a quick respray and oven bake and its ready to ship.

Naturally all this is done on those days the wife is gone to Maine to visit 
her mother and I have the kitchen to myself for at least 10 hours.
