This is the product I usedhttp://www.rockmiracle.com/productdetail.asp?cid=8&pid=45

It is a methylene chloride paste like you mentioned, but like I said
it did not come off easy on the flat parts of the door.
For the molding, I tried using my plumbers torch to heat the old
varnish a bit, then use a soft wire brush, but it seemed not to come
off clean plus I had to be careful not to burn the wood.
I do have a Dremel tool. Just a basic model. Maybe they have bits for
this purpose?


Using propane, a flapping sander, dremel, will ruin the moldings
relief, what you are working on might take me 1-2 days, razor sharp
curved wood cutting blades, and good paint remover are what has to be
done, Ive done at least 20 doors of greater difficulty than yours.
After you strip it has to be broght to new wood or the door will not
look good. Take a photo and go see your pro furniture refinisher man,
its a job you need experiance and the correct tools for.
