Removing varnish from door (to paint it)
- Thread starter jackmcc17

Seems a pointless task when it can be painted over .
Hand sanding is probably the quietest, but very labour intensive so you could use a rotary orbital sander with suitable grit paper and dust extraction. I have never got good results with a heat gun but that and varnish stripper are the other two options, be aware that strippers are much weaker than they used to be for environmental reasons.
Just sand it down by hand.
What, worried it will take too long?
Then do it quickly.
The finest piece of advice ever given to me.
How I didn't throttle him, I'll never know...
