Any recommended approaches to removing this wool felt embedded into finish? It's lacquer atop of danish oil on walnut veneer. Had little statues on top with that 1/4" wool liner that get from Madisound. Not sure if try mild solvent like alcohol, block sand or what, mainly trying to avoid having to strip it all down or opening can of worms. At least know lacquer will melt back into itself.
I've been using 3d printed templates for routing more lately though I dont trust my cleanliness to use double side tape yet. Plus crap amazon top bearing bits that taking a beating, maybe from when doing plywood. Probably invest in quality 1/4" top bearing for doing the inner cut. I usually print 1 outer ring, then an inner ring with like 0.5mm diff so can send separate body to printer and tolerance. I do the inner cut first then the outter. Though often a hiccup here or there killing the inner template but no big deal since only takes about an hour to print another.
I used to have a slider bar jig but router took a spill and end of that jig. Have a milescraft, but it a pain to take on and off the router and think using drywall screw rather than skimpy provided one, or flex, has un-calibrated my markings where need to do some test to see if it's 2, 3 or 4mm that need to compensate the marking with. Plus have to do a plunge like operation or get that starting cut dimple on the circle. At least know how to work the depth gauge on porter cable router. Also have jig for makita cordless router, but too much wandering of the bit shaft despite using reputable bits like bosch or diablo.

I would start with just putting some water on it and let is soak for a while and see how much comes off. I'd try alcohol (or Windex?) after that. If those don't work, you may have to move to riskier options.

Does goo gone have solvents? I thought it was more citrus oil based. Helps lubricate the surface to reduce scuffing while rubbing the stuff off.
I was going to recommend the same. I would probable test it on the bottom or back panel if they are finished the same.

You might also try Murphy Oil Soap. It's pretty mild but does a decent job on general grime, like kitchen cabinets.

Google says it does contain petroleum products and other solvents, so proceed with caution.
