Test a small section first. The paint is ready for scraping when it blisters. Some
paints may soften and then burn without blistering. Determine which type of
paint or coating you are dealing with before proceeding.
1.
Protect surfaces that should not be heated with a non-flammable
covering.
2. Move the heat gun side to side to heat the area in front of the scraper
until the paint softens or blisters. Scrape downwards in even strips. Do not
rush as this may damage the workpiece.
3. Remove the softened coating with a wire brush in difficult to reach areas.
REMOVING AN ADHESIVE
Soften glue and other adhesives with applied heat. The steps are similar to
removing paint.
1.
Move the heat gun over the workpiece without focusing on one spot. This will
reduce the chances of heat damage while raising the workpiece’s temperature.
a.
The material’s mass and thickness may require longer heating if you
cannot focus the airflow directly on the adhesive.
2. Gently pry the workpiece apart, applying heat as necessary to keep the
adhesive soft.
3. Once the workpiece is separated. Heat the adhesive and scrap it away.
a.
An alternative with delicate items is to place paper or a rag on the
glue and apply heat. The glue will stick to the paper and can be
peeled off. Hold the heat gun farther away from the paper to avoid
igniting it.
b. In difficult to reach spots, a wire brush or chemical solution may be
required to remove the remaining adhesive.
REMOVING CARPET AND LINOLEUM
DANGER! Older linoleum may contain asbestos. Asbestos exposure can lead
to long term illness and death. Have any linoleum installed before 2000
tested before removal. Have a professional remove linoleum that tests
positive for asbestos.
1. Heat the edge or corner of the linoleum or carpet. Make quick passes with
the heat gun to avoid burning the area.
a.
Check to see if there are corners or edges that are not glued to the
subfloor and begin from there.
