More Paint stripping fun - Week 10

I tried the Jasco green strip on the bathroom door, on my scale it seemed to be fairly non-toxic I used it with out gloves a couple of times. One of the problems with the Jasco is that it tends to make things very slippery so a couple times I took the gloves off just so I could hold onto my scraper and picks. Now as for the smell it was not horrible... it's difficult to describe it smells kind of sweet, with an undertone of ick maybe... rotting fruit. For ask Kicking power it did pretty good on the door frame it removed the post heat gun residue in one application with a lot of scrubbing with the steel wool on the window where I didn't heat gun it took about 3 coats. Overall I was pretty happy with it, it seemed like I could put on a fairly thin layer and still get it to work. I'd been leaving on the stipper about 24 hours because of my work schedule but I think it would have been more effective if I could have gotten to it after 12 as it seemed to dry out a bit.

Here is the latest finished door frame the bathroom door. My plan is to knock out the last two doors next weekend that is if the family visit doesn't take up too much time. My parents and my grandma from New York are coming up on Friday to see my little sis's portfolio show over at the university. I wish that we had more progress to show by the time they show up I feel like we've gotten very little done since my parents were here last. It's just so hard to get stuff done if you work too much over the weekend it makes the week damn near unbearable but you have little progress to show with only one day of work. I know it'll all come together eventually. Here is the door to the back hall the bottom squares on the left and right I did with the Jasco green strip the top center square is a work in progress with SoyGel. The SoyGel is doing a good job I saw a fair amount of wood after the first round. However I hate that I have to order the SoyGel online so unless it's significantly better than the Jasco I'm going to stick with the Jasco.

Last weekend we picked up the new windows for the kitchen I'm very excited that soon we will be getting rid of this huge vinyl eyesore and putting in two smaller windows
Well I'm off to add some paper to the stairs and dig out some cracks.
