Has anyone had internal doors acid dipped? If so what was the rough cost.

Google says £15-60. Which is quite a range.

Received wisdom is don't do it. It strips the joints and can lead to them falling apart. Infra red stripping is your friend though.

I've seen prices around the £40 mark but some people might just be throwing them in a bath of caustic soda and that can't cost the earth if you don't mind how its disposed of.

Cheers.

Our doors are pretty shit and we've recently 'discovered' 4 panel 1950s doors (which would be period with our place). I assume we'd paint, but if they need stripping first I'm not sure it's a job I want to do bearing in mind how tough the OG paint could be.
