How do I strip a fiberglass door to restain/repaint it?
To strip a fiberglass door, you’ll want to use a methylene chloride-based stripper. We recommend Dad’s Easy Strip, Big Tough, or Bix Stripper. Follow the directions on the product purchased. Use a brass wire brush, a medium hard nylon bristle brush, or grade 000 or 0000 steel wool to remove the residue. Do not leave stripper on raised moldings or panels any longer than 2-3 minutes. (Please refer to the Therma-Tru finishing instructions.) Paints, stains or topcoats can be removed this way.
