Did you try another application of the stripper?  If not try another.

  Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Stripping stane


  Hi,

  My mom has some doors she would like to have stripped and refinished. We
  tried one door this weekend to see how things would go.

  What we found was that the paint came off pretty easily but the original
  stain that had been painted over didn't come off so easily. I basically had
  to sand off the surface of the door to get to wood that wasn't stained.
  That leaves me with a couple questions:

  1. Is there a way to more easily remove the stain? Several of the doors
  she wants done are French doors and so would be very hard to sand without
  damaging the door.

  2. We are refinishing with stain that is very close to the color of the
  original stone. How difficult would it be to simply restain over the old
  stone? 

  Thanks for your help.

  Ralph
