The flat below me is getting a big refurb. I asked if I could raid the
skip. Now I have lots of door linings and simple bull nosed architrave
covered in paint. In my younger days I've resorted to stripper,
scrapers and sanding but I don't have quite the stamina for that these
days.

We recently had a water leak, and the water caused the paint to peel right
off the door frame it leaked upon (from the back side). Obviously you would
risk raising the grain, but perhaps worth a try?

(I'm now wondering what the best way to strip the rest of the frame, given I
don't want to re-saturate the wall. Possibly spraying and gradually
peeling?)
