Re: Removing door trim

["Dave Steele" <cvo24@chicagonet.net>]

Weellll,

If it's like mine, the trim strip is held on with double-back tape. Heat it
at one end, pry it up, and as you go further down the strip, heat where
you're working. Comes right off, but may leave adhesive behind. If it does,
use Prep-Sol or WD40 (is there nothing it can't do?) to loosen and remove.

Good luck,Dave
