I have a double 6ft wide entrance door that is solid core and painted off
white....I want to stripe it down taking all the paint off and then stain
with a good wood stain and then seal it.
What is the best way to get the old paint off while "protecting" the wood
finish underneath ? at best...it has two coats of paint...but perhaps only
one
Thanks,
Tim

I recently stripped and refinished a 36" exterior door. I used a Stanley #80
scraper to remove the majority of the old finish

followed by a chemical stripper.
Since your door has only one or two coats of paint a hand scraper would work.
