Carpentry and Woodworking - poly on door frames?

Hello. I just bought a house, but the previous owners have painted (and painted and painted) over the woodwork inside. I got some LightningStrip to strip the paint off with, but was wondering about the finish. Since I plan on refinishing the hardwood floors, should I just use the same oil-based polyurethane on the woodwork that I'm putting on the floors? Will the "self-leveling" characteristic make it run down the door jambs? I'm not staining.

Thanks,
:)

I don't see why you couldn't use the product. Just keep the coats thin and sand between the coats, which goes for any poly finish

:) Thank you.

As a follow-up question, is there a "trick" to not getting the paint stripper onto the painted walls? Will masking tape work? This is a spray-on stripper, so a brush is out.

Thanks again

I'd rethink the spray stripper. The best results happen when the stripper stays wet enough to work. You don't want it to dry out. I would get some good semi-paste stripper like CitriStrip, also 3M makes a semi-paste product(Safe Strip?) and put it on to strip the paint off. Might want to ask the person at your local home center. There is another stripper that goes on the wood like spreading mayonaise and then gets covered with paper and left overnight. The name escapes me, but the person at the home center might know.
