I'm guessing you got that off with plenty of heat, has it left any sticky gunk behind or did it come off clean and leave a good surface?1 down 22 to go, tig gloves required

Yes, a fair bit of heat, but carefully, the knack on these is to get all 4 edges fully curled up before working down the fronts. Sounds obvious but it's not even splitting like that. Just done another 3, working out approx 20mins a pop.
Residue is minimal, just a really quick light sand, wipe with white spirit and onto the painter.
I think they are shrunk on with hardly any or no glue.
Thanks for that. Might be an option for ours then, some of which have started delaminating.
I was thinking of just making new doors and spraying them, but if the rubbish laminate / cover stuff comes off without too much grief then that's an even easier option.

Spot on! she is using zinnser primer sealer, it is really good stuff.
The dulux diamond egg, is the egg finish good to wipe down?
Forgot update, 2 primer coats coats on the stripped raw mdf = Zinnser primer
3 coats Dulux diamond egg, actually goes a long way, but takes about 7 days to fully harden which is not an issue for doors, has gone rock hard and easy to wipe down.
Depends on the plastic skins I guess, but taking them off way way quicker than the painting.
Before - on for approx 16 yrs, doesn't look it but they were in pretty poor shape
All finished and other side not in pic
Went well and as hard wearing as plastic skins
