Sander is best. No muss no fuss no fumes.....just get the belt sander with the proper grade paper and you will be happy. I then used the corner hand held to get in the corner. If you have a friend with a planer.....that would be even better and quicker

Citristrip is probably the least toxic or smelly. It may take a while and cover it with plastic so that it doesn't dry out. It works really well.
