The person took off 15<BR/>coats of paint. The demonstration can be seen by going to www.qvc.com<BR/>and put in V27102 into the search column. They said it will do<BR/>wood, metal, concrete, brick.<BR/><BR/>Hope this is helpful<BR/><BR/>SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24918161.post-90441295445863443632007-07-04T10:20:00.000-05:002007-07-04T10:20:00.000-05:00Thanks for the tip.

My bungalow has all flat trim so a speedheater might be just the thing I need.jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09528926838891372189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24918161.post-28864105615487235892007-06-30T21:41:00.000-05:002007-06-30T21:41:00.000-05:00I am using a Speedheater - it is an infrared light...I am using a Speedheater - it is an infrared light. It heats the subsurface so that the paint comes off. You have to scrape it though. It goes quickly though it does take a little elbow grease and some patience to not scratch your wood. I am doing about 7 linear feet in an hour - you can scroll through and see my woodwork to judge the complexity. My favorite part is that after each scraping, I just vacuum the paint shavings. No washing, thinner, messy stripper, etc. This is the aspect that sold me on it. It is not great on highly detailed wood though.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00809676214189088361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24918161.post-77034822343927472252007-06-30T10:13:00.000-05:002007-06-30T10:13:00.000-05:00How fast or slow does paint stripping with a heat ...How fast or slow does paint stripping with a heat gun work?
