Getting ready to paint my exterior door trim on your regular run of the
mill
steele door with brickmoulding ..They are new....Can I remove the weather
stripping that goes around the door to make it a better , easier job..It's
the kind that snaps into the wood and the door closes against....I
experimented with it by trying to pop it out and did get it started then I
popped it back in so I think I can but wanted to double check...In the
past
I just cut around it but it is a PITA......Any special tricks or methods
to
not break anything ??? Thanks for any help


If the strip looks likes this sample, yes just get one end started and
pull the strip out. When paint do not fill the channel with paint.
