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


LEad. Sand the door a litte knock off the rough spots skim coat it
with auto body junk. I had a hundred year house that had real cool
hinges that i used stripper on that part but had the mask to prevent
liver damage from the fumes.
