Removing paint, Paint Stripping or Burning Off. Some of the names used in the trade for removing old paint.

Burning off is an old decorators term, and was used when gas was the main sauce for removing paint and still preferred today by older painters in the trade because it's a lot faster. What's brought about the change is the DIY enthusiasts and the safety element as hot air is seen to be safer than the naked flame of a gas gun; in actual fact they can both ignite the paint there stripping and they will both burn you plus once you've bought your gas gun and gas canister that's your cost taken care of. Now try switching on your hot air gun and look at your electric meter, better sill don't, it will sicken you.

All that said the hot air heat gun is in the majority so here are a few tips and tricks on how to use the gun safely.

Most burning off work is done outside on flaking paint, windows sills and doors; one of the first things to watch out for is the weather, you can get away with doing outside paint work from mid spring onwards (after the frost) but you still need to watch out for the odd cold day. Burning off can be one of the first jobs you do when starting a new outside (outside paint work of a house); don't attempted to burn off near a window on a very cold day, it's the hot and cold thing with glass, pour hot water into a cold glass bowel and it will crack; same with hot air and a cold window.

With that in mind, why do we burn off paint; there comes a point when there's been that many coats of paint put on a door or window sill that adding to it will just make it look like treacle so we burn it off. Flaking paint on a door or window go's without saying, burn it off.

So working from the above list, put your sheet down first, then slip on your gloves and goggles. I must admit some times I don't wear goggles when I should, but burning off paint is one job where it's a must, I was on a job with a work mate that got a ember from the burning paint in is eye, not very nice as you can imagine. Turn on your hot air heat gun, it should take a few minutes before it's hot enough to start, hover the gun over about a 20cm sq section of paint, until the paint gets soft then move in with the gun holding it about 2" away from the paint and it will start to blister come behind the gun with your 1½" scraper and scraping the blister keep your gun on and around the next section your going to burn off and basically that's it, you wait until the paint blisters and then you scrape it off.

To make things a little easer here's a couple of tip's:

If your burning off horizontally that's fine just carry on as above; if your burning off vertically always try to start at the top and work down, if you work up the hot paint shavings your burning off will fall on the hand your scraping with.

When you come up against groves in the wood use the shaving hooks. A shaving hook just like a screw driver with a steel triangle on the end; there are two types both triangle shaped one with three points at each end of the triangle and the other with two points and one that's rounded off for getting into different types of mouldings.

When your getting close to a window use your large scraper as a shield and blister the paint by going on and off the area with your hot air heat gun, it takes a little longer but you won't crack your window.

Make sure you get as much paint off as you can while using the heat gun, leave no little bits hanging around because once they cool they go quite hard and you'll have to take it off by sanding.

So you've now used all your tools except your liquid soap bottle full of water; the bottle is purely for security as I have witnesses on a few occasions where timber as caught alight inside a window casing and you can't get a hand to it and poking at it with tools won't help; squeeze the water in the bottle at it, it's out.

Now get your palm sander and give it all a good sanding.
