One gallon of Rock Miracle later…

And I’m still not done! I’ve been able to finish the frame and the exterior of the doors, but there’s still the underside and the interior doors to do. This weekends efforts have been to finish the interior rims of the frame. I’ve considered fudging this and leaving the edges white, but I have to do the right thing. I’m not going as ape shit with the paint stripper, as the finest and most difficult layers at the bottom will sand off nicely to the same effect. I’m not sick of sanding, where as I am of stripping.

I’ve also started to work on the door interiors by taking them off the frame. The hardware came off easily and will eventually get its paint removal bath. It’s been easier to work with the doors on a flat surface instead of on its hinges. But I couldn’t even undo the hinges without removing the paint - the screw heads were so gooked on with paint. All in all, I wish I used a heat gun!
