Paint Stripper Recommendations

I'm stripping back the paint on a door frame and it's going slowly. I've been using Paint Panther (from Foolstation) and it's working in places. Other's it's hardly making a dent. The hardest areas seem to be the ones that have been baked in a hot porch.

Does anyone have any go to products they swear by?

Peel away works better than most. https://www.peelaway.co.uk/

Depends on the original paint/s used as to which to use.

Hot air gun (oil based paints back then) + sanding is how I stripped my house ... but you need to know the surface on which the hot paint falls will not get damaged.

Check your insurance too

I had my fill of hot air gun stripping back in the 80s and swore never again

Hot air made it much easier painting skirting boards as the carpet had less pile when I finished stripping

After using more panther I found the woodwork actually has some nice profiling to it that has disappeared under the layers. To save gashing it with a scraper, I've ordered a tub of Peel Away to play with.
