30 year old paint on internal walls is flakey
I've removed all the loose bits but if I'm to paint over
I'm sure ridges would shoe through

Is it just a matter of sanding forever?
or is there another way ?

I recently spent 1-2 hours per day, for 4-5 days doing one (1) door. Took
paint stripper, and lots and lots of sanding with two electrical sanders:
one large one and a mini (iron shape) for the smaller awkward surfaces.

The paint stripper stuff is just scary: it's a suspected carcinogen. I
wouldn't advise its use indoors at all. My door led to the outside, so I had
some fresh air circulating.
