door skin removal procedure

The bottom 1/3 of my front door is starting to delaminate. It is a solid core
door with thin skin of plywood glued on. Is there an easy way to get the top
2/3 that is not delaminating off? Thanks, Scott

Probably not
without ruining the "solid core". I suppose you could try a heat gun, wedged
under the delaminated area, and long wedges. Could start a fire though, if
you're not careful. A new door isn't too expensive, <$100.00. Tom

Try a heat gun (don't worry about scorching the ply) and
several wide putty knives. Pry up an area, apply heat,
and it if starts coming up, continue on.

2 other options off the top of my head--electric hand planers
and belt sandahs--_ain't_ easy.
