Hi
Anybody got advice on how to go about this job?
I assume that a heat gun could not be used because of the danger of cracking the glass. What about chemical solutions? All advice welcome.
 
How many layers of paint are on the doors? Nitromors or any of the usual strippers will do if there isn't too much paint on it. If there are layers and layers you might want to look for something more industrial. Otherwise you could remove the glass panels and have the doors dipped.
 

You can only dip doors if they are softwood.

If they are hardwood you can't.
