Hi
I am going to repaint a wood bathroom door in a 50 year old house.
The doors are in really good condition. I would like to remove the
paint from the door... I have a sander but whenever I use it dust
covers the entire room, so I dont want to use that.. Any liquids
that work well for this type of project? I did use an
environmentally friendly "paste" that you put it on and wait 24
hours then scrap off- but I dont think that will work on the door,
as the paint is pretty good on there. Thanks

Doing anything with paint - other than putting it on something -
inside your home will render your home almost uninhabitable.

Take the door outside.

Use the harshest paint remover you can find. It will take several
applications.

Then use your sander.

A stripper specialist is the easist way to get it down to the original
wood without exposing folks to dubious chemicals.

Exactly what Honeysuckle Events said when I was calling around to plan a
bachelor party.
