  • Status at 6pm today.. at least three colours since 1905, going to need two litres of nitromors to do this door and three days.. several white layers there after with over boarding, edges and reveals.. still need to do the other side, on the look out for that pair of brass door knobs once this is back in its door frame

  • Top tip - cover the nitromors in cling film to keep the moisture in the stripper and working for longer.

  • top tip indeed, thanks. the paint has blistered well on the reverse side,
    next coat of nitromors i will do the clingfilm wrap after the first scrape through.
    there is +100 years of paint on this door and others. Hadn't appreciated that doors may warp
    in my case the stiles and rails of the panelled doors are pretty solid 44mm thick

  • Tinfoil is better
