    Thanks to all that contributed to solve my problem. The stock project was completed & returned to the owner last Saturday. He is happy with the results.

It’s available through retailers; just do an Internet search. It’s not cheap but it is definitely worth the price.
    The active ingredient in K2R is acetone. K2R sells for between $3-5 per ounce at Amazon, WalMart, Target, etc. I think I would just use regular acetone from the hardware store/big box store.

    Good to know, but I'm still advocating the dishwasher treatment I posted earlier. No toxic or flammable chemicals of any kind.
