The Wood Door Stripping Process

Chemical strippers are typically applied to loosen old finishes, followed by gentle scraping to remove residues. Sanding smooths the surface and prepares it for finishing. Protective measures are taken to contain debris and fumes, and the door is cleaned thoroughly after stripping. The final step involves applying a new stain, paint, or sealant to achieve the desired look.
