Stripper Stripping Knife

Stripping technique (paint!)…Any suggestions?

What I have is an interior door, about 100 years old, a four panel door. It has the T-shape in it. Does that describe it at all?

It has been stained, varnished and had several layers of paint applied over the years. What I’m trying to do is get the paint off. What I have been doing is using a heat gun and putty knife to scrape and then applying a paint stripper. It’s tedious and messy. The varnish melts with the heat and makes a glue-like substance that gums up the knife.

So…What should I be doing? What’s the easiest, most effective way to remove this paint, etc? Also, am I going to need to take the door apart (to get the paint out of the seams)? What do you recommend as far as technique and which product is the best? Or…if this is something that should be professionally done, how much would it cost? (I think I can do it, I would just like to know the best way.) Thanks very much for your help!

Heat is good to remove the top layers. It does get gummy, that is part of the deal. You will have better luck with a pull type scraper than a putty knife or the cheap scrapers you find at DIY stores. The blade is much sharper and the gumming is less of a problem. You can use a putty knife or regular scraper, but it will take a bit more time.

After you get the bulk of the paint off, you will need a chemical stripper to clean it up. If you can find it, Stripeeze is the best I have ever used. You will need to change and add to your tools a bit. Sharp putty knife for wide surfaces. Brass bristle brush for the detail areas. Toothpicks (round kind with a point) for the corners, cracks and crevaces. After all of the surface material is removed, clean with chemical stripper and fine steel wool, followed by mineral spirits and steel wool.

It is important that you get rid of all of the material before you paint. Old varnish will bleed through anything — including stain block like Kilz.

Sand smooth, prime and paint.

Stripping, Sex, and Popular Culture $29.94 At the heart of Stripping, Sex, and Popular Culture lies a very personal story, of author Catherine Roach’s response to the decision of her life-long best friend to become an exotic dancer. Catherine and Marie grew up together in Canada and moved to the USA to enroll in PhD programs at prestigious universities. For various reasons, Marie left her program and instead chose to work as a stripper. The author, at first troubled and yet fascinated by her friend’s decision, follows Marie’s journey into the world of stripping as an observer and analyst. She finds that this world raises complex questions about gender, sexuality, fantasy, feminism, and even spirituality. Moving from first hand interviews with dancers and others, the book broadens into a provocative and accessible examination of the current popularity of "striptease culture," with sex-saturated media imagery, thongs gone mainstream, and stripper aerobics at your local gym. Stripping, Sex, and Popular Culture scrutinizes the naked truth of a lucrative industry whose norms are increasingly at the center of contemporary society.
