STRIPPING PAINT AND VARNISH
The following procedure and techniques make it easier to strip paint and varnish. Always test a small area of paint before attempting to strip large areas.
Turn the heat gun on and allow it to warm up to operating temperature. Position the nozzle 10cm from the paint to be stripped. Soon, the paint should wrinkle and blisters start to form. Do not overheat the paint as this may burn it and make it more difficult to remove. Always wear eye protection when stripping paint overhead.
Start by warming the surface just in front of the scraper uniformly by moving the heat gun slightly from side to side. If you heat the paint properly, you will be able to strip even the thickest paint in one pass. The paint should come off in strips the same width as the scraper.
OTHER USES FOR THE HEAT GUN
