I have several closet and bedroom doors that are currently varnished/stained, which I want to sand down and paint a semi-gloss white.
- Should I do something other than sanding to remove the varnish, such as some kind of stripping chemicals?
- Besides working quickly to ensure the coats are completed before the paint dries too much, is there anything I can do to give the doors a consistent finish?
- Should I sand down extra on the edges of the doors to ensure they still fit the frames after painting?
