Thanks for the tips! Got mine off and working on finishing them up this weekend. Crazy (and not surprising) what the sun and in my case, cigarette smoke from the original owner does over 50 years.

How do you prep the inserts for the new contact paper? Just clean and knock down any high spots then just put the new contact paper down? Or do you sand the existing wood grain off?

Thanks in advance!
