I hope you're going for a rustic look, if not you are going to have a lot of preparation in any case.
My first thing would be to put the infrared heater on it and see if it boiled out like sap.
Something like Knotting or Shellac or Zinnser BIN are good at this kind of thing. Just don't apply it and then sand through it when you're prepping.

What's this oily/resiny looking stain on an interior door and how can I prepare the door for painting? My wife wants some colour drenchery (entire room inc woodwork/door etc).
Photo shows both sides of the door with whatever it is seeping through. Been exactly like that since we moved in, so nothing's changing particularly. But I don't want to spend 8 months building up layers to conceal it.
