PAINT REMOVAL
Proper paint removal is in fact quite a developed skill. A few simple projects should help you refine your technique. Start by turning on
the heat gun and holding it with the nozzle around one inch from the surface you’re planning to strip. The paint should start to blister
once it’s ready to be stripped. You can then scrape it with even, smooth strokes. If the paint is hot enough and the scraper is appropriate
for the surface being stripped, the paint should come off in a way that mirrors the size of the scraper. Keep the heat gun slightly ahead
of the scraper to make sure the paint is softened. Moving the heat gun slowly, but steadily is the ideal way to distribute heat. Remember
that the bits and pieces can be flammable, and may ignite. Take care and keeping that in mind.
TIPS FOR PAINT STRIPPING
Some paints will become more difficult to strip if they are heated for too long. Be sure to try a few variations to get the technique down
based on the paint being stripped. Paint should be removed immediately after being heated as it will cool and harden again.
If a window frame is being stripped, do not allow the heat gun to stay focused on an area on the glass as it can cause it to crack. Instead,
use some type of non-flammable material to shield the glass off.
MORE THAN A PAINT STRIPPER
Don’t forget that this heat gun is an extremely dynamic tool that can be used for a lot more than paint stripping. It can be used to soften
linoleum, floor tile, loosening heat sensitive adhesives, heat-shrinkable tubing, and even some automotive uses such as reducing drying
time on paints and set up time on body fillers. Place the heat gun on a flat surface to use it hands-free.
