What happens here

After addressing the flat surfaces, turn your attention to the door's contours and intricate details. For these areas, switch to a detail sander, often referred to as a finger sander or mouse sander. Attach Eka Silk closed-cell abrasives, specifically a coarse-grit type, to the sander. Carefully maneuver the detail sander into all recessed and carved areas, ensuring the old finish is thoroughly removed without damaging the wood's profile. This step requires precision and a steady hand.

Goal: Remove old finish from intricate door details and contours

What they say

I'm using Acastorm to strip all the flats, Acastorm 80 grit, and then I'm using you know Acacilc, using Closel abrasives. This is a coarse abrasive. So I'm using different abrasives because now I got to get into the contours in here.
