I have a spool cabinet with what looks like a shellac finish and very difficult-to-read decals on the drawer fronts. I'd like to clean the drawer fronts to make the decals more readable and I am tempted to remove the overlying finish in a way that will not harm the decals. I've tried soapy water (Murphys' oil soap) and rubbing alcohol (carefully) but I can't seem to get the decal letters to show through the grime. Any ideas?
