Heat stripping
Hot
air-strippers can be used to strip paint. Hold the
stripper about 10 inches from the area to be stripped
(this may vary with strippers). When the paint starts to
bubble, remove it with a scraper. When using a hot-air
stripper, do not spread newspapers to protect the floor in
case paint shavings catch fire and fall. Keep a bucket of
water handy in which to drop burning or smouldering paint.
Use the scraper at an angle to prevent the paint falling
on your hands. Also watch for nests in the eaves, or for
rotten wood, as these could be set alight easily. |
