- If you need to get a job done properly and quickly the Festool system has you covered. Todd from Top Coat Finishes walks us though his process of stripping the finish from a door that they are restoring. He's using the Festool CT 26E, the ETS125 and the Rotex RO 90.

You conveniently skipped the hardest part to sand. The moulding makes the paint stripper much more viable.
yeah, I wonder if they had some incentive to push the sander?
Thank you for this bc I am currently stripping my front door 🚪 on our home that we bought built in 1956 pretty sure this is the same door color & all that. Trying to bring out a beautiful wooden updated look 👀
So $9.50 for Citristrip and $2.50 for the Festool? Sounds good. Do I order The $2.50 sander & vacuum directly on your site Festool??
Yes, what a bargain. I'll have three sanders and vacuum's please, is it free delivery to the UK
Video producer: How dumb do you want our customers to think that we think they are, on a scale from 1 to 10?
Marketing guy: Yes!
I found this while looking for videos that specifically give advice on removing finish from detail so... this was the opposite of helpful for me and almost seems misleading. Honestly, I think most people can pretty quickly figure out several ways to remove a finish from a perfectly flat surface. Heat guns rock. If you had finished the job on both sides I would not have felt compelled to leave a comment.
What about the moulding? The Festool side never removed anything from the details, just the flat stuff. Not a very good comparison.
Me Myself&I he literally said it’ll have to be done by hand
This was basically "whats best, our tools or some chemicals that finish the job unlike our tools?
And cost should have included also the cost of tools :-D
@@OscarHanzely Think of as a why I need this fancy festool sander, I have 3 and their amazing on dust control and work slightly better then the other brands, but your hands will thank you on lack of vibration versus cheaper ones.
What about a veneer surface. Sanding that with a 60 grit would probably make you sand through the veneer.
Just replace it 😊
Great video but I had some questions. Is the door a true solid door? or is the door with veneer? I own some doors from 1920. They are solid but have a thick veneer on them. Looking for advise to strip them.
That’s some pretty heavy duty twisting of facts and technique to benefit a power sander, if I do say so myself. Lol
Not equal comparison since you didnt strip the molding with the Festool.
Howzabout putting chemical stripper on the casings/mouldings.....then coming back to strip those and doing the rest of the door at the same time?
Was that a solid door or was it veneered?
Todd & Everyone at TopCoat,
Thank you for all your informative finishing videos. Like many hobbyist woodworkers, finishing is an area where we need good mentoring. Your videos have influenced my Festool purchases and practices. Question: How would you go about stripping and refinishing the molding? Would you use the traditional stripper because you want to preserve the original shape that sanding might damage? Would love to see a video on this topic. Thanks again and Happy New Year and health to all of you! Mark Hays
Didn't you watch the video. They don't bother with the mouldings as it cant be done with Festools, only with stripper so they ignore the hard bit.
Yep but I'm still going to use the stripper. That door has exactly the size of the sander, it's flat and they don't touch the molding. When you're on your knees or a wiggling ladder, under SoCal sun, it's a different ballgame.
I'd like to see environmental impact comparison.
For me sanding is the best way, easily.
I prefer the chemical stripping method, as it will only remove the coat but not the wood.
Hey Todd my name's Ricardo I have a random orbital sander with 80 grit paper I'm sanding cabinets that have stain and clear coat everything was working fine but now the sander is gouging the wood as if it's spinning way to fast any ideas
Probably use a finer grit of 120 or 220 or use a mouse, as you have more control on the pressure when sanding small areas.
I love it!
What about lead based paint removal?
Well Sir, you should simply scrape them off slowly and collect every last little piece. Then place them in a sack so you have something to snack on while watching your programs. But first consider yourself lucky mate, ya have such a rare opportunity for such a lavish treat, so don’t let it go to rubbage bin. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous.. Indeed vintage lead based paint chips are hard to come by in my hamlet. I find them to be a delightful and delicious treat. Oh yes shire, they are indeed very nutritious as well.
Sorry, apples and oranges. Stripping paint, specially multiple layers of paint, works best with the chemical peel / stripper. This is a stain that he is removing...
How to strip a poly finish from wood furniture?
Man woodworkers can be a cranky lot. A lot of criticism about not doing the trim. Sanding was obviously faster and easier on the flats. How about sanding any big flats on a project then using a stripper on the detailed areas
Great video. I learned a lot. Thanks!
What do you mean "turn the extractor all the way down on the suction setting and all the way up on the tool setting"? At the tool did you mean speed all the way up?
will do from now on with the RO90. thanks
Yeah, news to me as well. There is such a learning curve with these machines.
Welp if I'm paying for a stripping.. I'd expect the moulding to be done too. I don't care how long it takes. Do it right!
Well ..... that stripper was not methlyne chloride
Maybe someone here can help me. I have a round, random orbital sander I got from Lowe's probably. It takes forever to remove anything, even with a 40 grit sandpaper attached (velcro circles). What do I need to do differently? Do I need a better sander?
@@theloneviking9145 now your comment just looks stupid. :)
C W it was a joke, relax
Give it to your wife to take out her frustrations...although, you may not have a door left...😂
@@gaidhliglass Since I am a woman who is married to a man....that would be rather impossible. I ordered a 4"x24" Makita belt sander for the table. I went through four different grits in about an hour. That puppy can SAND. Now I am using the random orbital to hit the edges.
No, you need stripper, forget the orbital sander.
That is bs I know Festool makes awesome tools and I own two of them but this whole process they showed is totally wrong and I mean it because I've done dozens of these jobs and it just takes under 2 hours to strip a door to bare wood , I hate when they exaggerate
I have a veneer wood tv stand that is a few shades darker than my liking. I want a natural beige oak color. So any advice how to safely strip away the old stain and if there is any product I should add to get that light natural beige color?
Where to purchase this tools?
Lowes, home depot, ace, local hardware stores, online...borrow from a neighbour... If you want a specific brand, Google it and order directly from them. You could ask big box store or local hardware store to order 1 and pick up through them.
Thanks - good help
Heat gun and scraper
So to sand the door you have to use a 60 grit?? I thought in the beginning of the video it said 90 grit.
Not totally convincing because it did not include the trim details for the sanding
First of all you should never use 60 grit sandpaper. 3 hours to strip a door, the products suck, especially if it's raising the grain of the wood.
Completely Useless test! the left side finished only the flat surface and what about details ? do you consider your job done?
Brilliant side by side comparison. We will use the Festool system after seeing this. Thank you Todd. Cheers from Hull, Mass.
I tell you what... SCREW stripping! I just started a dining room table/chair refinishing project, and there's no way in hell I'm committing to stipping..
Not fair comparison, the company that owns the sander is the company doing the test, do you think we are that dumb, try sanding the molding, then we will see a fair comparison..Festool overpriced. Way over
Yep ... the sanded portion was easy and incomplete - did't touch the molding yet it wins? Don't quit your day job... Making vids is not for you.
UHHHHH???? How bout how to do the HARDEST Part???? The Trim????
Exactly, what about the molding? Rip off Marketing
Too bad there's not a how to video on getting a worthless, misleading video removed from UA-cam...
This video wasted 30 seconds of my life.
Festool sander does not cost £2.50😄
incomplete
Bad Comparation
Comedy.
NOT good....
But only half a job done on both sides. What about the detail. Totally misleading video entirely so what a waste of time. Pretty lazy if you ask my opinion.
Wow expensive equipment and mediocre tests! Most people can't afford festool so wait I'm making a fart noise see ya!
How much you getting paid to push Festool? I'll use the stripper and steel wool every time...Lame assed BS on the part of Festool promotion....Way to much crap on tools on these type of video's...

Hum, so one option is chemical strippers, and the other is, not a power sander, but "Festool" :) noice, Festool!
