Hi all
Few years ago i decided to strip all my varnished skirt boards door frames etc back to pine and paint them white.Now i have grown to hate them and what to varnish them again.
I have started to remove the paint today and already done nearly one door fame (have 5 to do). My question is after i have the paint off its leaving risidual white on the wood grain.I have tried sanding and its taking an hour or so to do an area size of £5 note to get it to a clean pine finish.
What is the best method to remove this and the best grit paper or tool.Did think a blet sander but its a 1 bedroom flat so the dust and noise will be unreal lol.
I don't want to use nitromors as i cant work with them type chemicals. ive realised it would be easier to just replace the skirting boards and door trims i can remove to quicken the job
thanks in advance chaps
