Out of curiosity why did you decide to strip the paint?
What type of sander are you using? For something like that I'd take the door out of the frame, put it on trestles and sand the paint off with a belt sander and a really course 40 grit belt then pretty it up with a random orbit sander. Then for the beading use a heat gun (preferably an IR one @Airhead has a preferred brand I beleive).
Ps. You don't need to spend lots on a belt sander, Screwfix do one for under £50 that isn't bad (I bought one in an emergency on an away job after forgetting mine).

I probably should have looked into that!
I was expecting to sand the whole thing, but there is so much beading that it will be destroyed if I sand it all. I think I’m going to sand all the flat bits and then go and get some nitromors for the window surrounds and lower panels. Is there anything better than nitromors? How long will I need to leave that for?
Plan was to get it ready for painting tomorrow. Got another four hours or so today.
