Paint stripping of "The Doors" has commenced. My bathroom is now a work site with remnants of dried Peel Away and paint.
The stripping is literally breaking through layers of paint and revealing detail on the doors that I never thought was there. It's cool to see almost instant gratification when the paint comes off.
Taking the paint off is probably the best part of the whole process. You really don't have to work too hard at it, it just peels away (hmmm...sounds like they thought about the product name). What I didn't expect is the amount of water clean up that is needed. I think I have a bit of a special case with various types of paints all mixed together and a thick layer I'm trying to remove all at once. In any case, the tub is working out well for this process and I'm learning how to apply the paste in a more effective manner that removes more paint the first time...yes, I said first time. It looks like I'll need to do a few areas twice to get all the paint off!
So, this is going to take a bit longer then expected. Hopefully I can live with a dirty bathroom for a while.
