Hi, I know there are fans of Holkham Linseed Oil Paint on this forum and I'm interested in using it on my woodwork, interior and exterior.
Most of the interior doors were stripped bare by a previous owner and left without any finish for a long time, so they are very dry looking and very grimey, so they need a very good clean anyway before I paint them.
My concern is that the Holkham people recommend that you don't use any kind of stripper prior to painting but insteed use heat and a scraper. However it looks to me as if the doors have been dipped. Becaue I've heard that dipping can be very harsh on the wood and these doors look pretty rough
So my question is, do I need to neutralise the paint stripper prior to painting, and if so can anyone recommend a good way to do this.
Thanks in anticipation
Lindsay
