Can this be used to remover old layers of paint from a door? Also layers of poly and stain?

If it 'twas me, I'd just use a sander. While you can supposedly control the depth down to 1/16", to me it just takes too big a bite.

It could-but you run the risk of leaving ridges every 3 1/4 inches. Be prepared to sand these down

I wouldn't know. I sanded all the way down to remove the stain. I then stained again and applied the poly coat

I would think it would work for that. I have been successfully using it to sand cabinets and remove old lacquer and stain from them.

www.goofoffproducts.com has some stuff that will remove paint. Look on their website.

It is used to remove wax-type build-ups. If you have used one of the Quick Shine Finishes on your laminate floors and/or someother product (ie: mop & glow) that needs removed, then yes you can use it on your laminate to remove them. It is not a "cleaner" but more of a "stripper." I also think it would take original laminate finishes off. I would call the company, if you have very specific questions about using it on laminate.

The label says "Painter's Best Friend" and then below that says "Removes dried latex paint, oil based paint splatters, caulk and wallpaper adhesive." I have never tried it on any of those and would have to agree with D. Lee's skepticism regarding older dried paint of either kind. You may need to resort to the classic solution of scrape, sand, and repaint.Good luck!

It is better off to ensure that you remove any sort of paint, scratches or dents and such through sanding and leveling prior to applying polyurethane. To answer your question in a few words, yes that would work.

Not sure, but I refinished quantity of four old four panel doors both sides with four layers of old paint on them and I used the whole gallon. I think it depends on what you are removing paint on and how many layers of paint you have to take off. Sorry I could not be more help.

Not sure, but I think it can be used on any painted surface. It is biodegradable and reusable. I used it on a heavily varnished wooden door.

It depends on how deep the stain is and how long it's been on the deck. You can adjust the strength of the TSP but be careful and test it on an area that won't be so obvious. It can remove some paints if mixed too strong. This is a great product and not available in all states.

I wouldn't advise that. This is meant to remove ground-in paint, it would probably take other coatings off.

Not sure. Depends on the type of substance you need to get out If it's just regular dirt or some light grease it will probably work If it's some dried on stain I am not sure since I have not tried using it for that

We used this product to remove several layers of varathane finish from a nice oak table that the lady wanted a darker color. It did not work well for this at all. A sealed finish may be different than a painted finish, but for several coats of sealed areas, we would not recommend it.

I would recommend it. It worked well indoors. Use a scraper to remove the paint--metal as its a bit more sturdy. This was quite effective and not nearly as noxious as the chemical paint remover

Yes it will work. Just make sure your door is clean, and lightly sanded to remove stains (if you wish). Keep in mind this is an easy, but long process, simply due to the drying (curing) time of the oil, and the fact you will probably want at least 2 coats. This is an air curing oil, so temp, humidity, etc. play into all of this. You are easily looking at a couple of days. Also keep in mind this may change the color of the door slightly. Hope this helps and good luck.

yes. we used it for all those things. Even our kitchen cupboard door! The only thing you have to be aware of is that changing from different paint brands can affect the thickness it will spray on. so always be sure to test and practice each time you change color or brand. We used it in our entire house when we built last year. no problems. but some sherwin williams paints spray on thicker so we had to do a lot of sanding. obviously your primer will go on thinner. ect..

Based on my experience, I would say it very likely would work. For the piece I used it for, it took multiple coats of this to remove everything, as someone had added many coats of stain & varnish. It took a little patience on my part, but I could not be happier with its effectiveness. It is so wonderfully non-toxic, yet still very effective.
