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
Removing paint and varnish using the hot air with a
paint scraper. (Fig. 3)
Removing labels and adhesive tape.
Loosening rusty or overtightened bolts and screws.
Thawing forzen pipes, locks etc.
