MC should be used as a very last resort.
Many strippers you can use from soy based.
Dbx from klenzstpne may work call them they are great.
I would try ax-it ,aqua mix coating remover or anyone specified for varnish.
Are you sure its varnish could be some polyurethane stuff.
Being rhat its a bar whatever you use make sure its thick.
So forget the axit stuff ise a gel like product.
Most are-then apply it and cover it with plastic overnight provided you know it will work.
Come back in the morning and remove coating.
Proba ly need too do some spot work.
Coating are haedwst to remove from joints and surfaces that arent flat.

Hey partners,

A client wants me to strip varnish off of an old slate bar top. He understands that I am going to have to use some heavy-duty chemicals to eat through the old varnish, but would prefer that I do not use anything overly potent out of concern for his house. :)

When faced with removing varnish like this, what is your go-to product? I know I could use methylene chloride, but I am hoping I can find some other product or version of mc that is less intense and will not damage the stone. There were some parts where the brown varnish already wore off, which gives me hope. 

Let me know what you think,
PJ
