Paint removal in stubborn corners of wood door





Q. After finding the perfect paint stripper (Multi-Strip [affil link]) for 110 years of paint on my paneled wood doors, I was excited to get sanding. Now I'm having an issue removing the stain and little bits of paint from the corners of the panels. I've tried a wire brush, but don't want to scratch the wood. I'm going to attach photos --

Does anyone know a good way to do this? This is my first door of 6 and it's taking forever! Any insights will be greatly appreciated.

A. Hi Kayla!
I've done several 5-panel doors constructed with the same contours as yours, and one tool that is really helpful is a pack of those plastic 'razor blades'- they look like normal razor bscraper blades, and fit into a standard razor blade scraper [affil link] handle, but are of course plastic so they won't cut into the wood like real ones. Oh and toothbrushes. Lots of toothbrushes...

It's a labor of love but they are SO beautiful when done; I hope you enjoy the results!
