Another learning the hard way

Yea, steel cored door is kinda misleading isn’t it? You would think it is a steel door, but it is more like a steel sandwich instead. Maybe some paint stripper would work also, if the door is smooth.

The doors have a sort of thick plastic coating, almost a bonded sheeting. I have tried just about every chemical I could get my hands on. I ended up just sanding the best i could then putting think texured coats of primer then paint to help cover the inperfections.

That sounds like one of my tricks! Ever try to store lacquer thinner in a styrofoam cup?

Hi kindlingmaker,

How’s your core door? Did you use any paint remover? How did it go?
