Stripping Varnished Door

Hi all,

Can anyone give ideas as to how to strip an old varnished door and get it ready to revarnish

Thanking you all

I'd be looking at a well-tuned cabinet scraper. If the varnish is flaking the scraper will take it off easy and leave a surface you don't need to sand.

If it's got mouldings, try a combo paint scraper on those and then a flap wheel.

Been down the chemicals route. Lot of work.
