Thanks, we moved into a cheap flat which has been glossed over gloss and the woodwork is all cracked and awful. I heat stripped, molyfilled and repainted and it's made the world of difference. We just used a wallpaper stripper tool and heat gun

Using chemicals is DANGEROUS. This method is safe & easier than scraping without heat gun. Going to get these tools to work on old house, getting ready to paint! I knew there had to be a better way!!! Thanks, Charlie!

Wow, I'm so glad I found your video. It's exactly what I was looking for.

I've always found it easier to go top to bottom, so you can scrape the paint down. But do whatever feels easiest for you. Thanks for watching.

Charlie when useing them heat guns as you heat one area up lower the gun to next bit whilst scrapping what youv heated then move down to next bit that's been heated lot quick and you have constant heat makes the stripper easier and quicker best to wear decent gloves like the Canadian digger gloves for protection and safety eye protection. Good vid.

Listen. Thank you for this. I was here watching videos with liquids to use which was not practical for my wooden banister. This is perfect 😍

Thank you for the quick tutorial. Just about to start using a hot air gun to strip the paint on skirting. I was sanding but that is super messy and really time consuming, even with a power sander!!

oh bruh just what I needed. what a legend

[johndoe]

This is great. I have a door with a lot of molding and the last person did poor paint prep so half the paint is peeling away and the other half is bonded. I want to peel it all away and will try this in the areas it’s better bonded.

Thank you!! Just going to strip my stairs and was so nervous about using one of these that I haven't plucked up the courage to do then yet!! Will definitely start it now though. Thanks!!

This is awesome mate. My boyfriend and I have moved into a lovely Georgian townhouse. It’s gorgeous but needs much doing 😆 There’s so many layers of thick gloss paint all over the doors, door sets, skirting and dado rails. Thanks for the demo, I’m gonna give it a go. I may send the doors to be dip stripped though as I have a feeling this is gonna take me months to do as it is 😂🤘

That looks better than the gooey mess of runny paint stripper and scraping. I have a porch railing that has a thick coat of peeling porch that needs removing b4 painting. 3 hrs of sanding and scraping hasnt put a dent in it. Its like a thick pudding skin over the other paint. Paint under it is fine. I dreaded using the gooey stripper that needs a hazmat suit and 3 block area cordoned off. Great tutorial.

Was debating whether to use a paint stripper or heat gun. My stairs have many layers of paint...there could be lead based paint too. But heat gun seems the way as long as I wear a mask and the area is ventilated. Thanks for this video appreciated

[evangelinamontgomery]

thanks this has helped us tremendously which I had seen it before

[jonathansmith]

Thanks mate . Very helpful. God bless you and all your family.

[grahamkitchen]

Thanks Charlie
great YouTube clip
I bought one for a Diy paint stripping job and found it so easy to use
and saves time too
but one tip wear a long sleeve top, gloves and safety glasses avoids burns to skin and eyes
believe me that melted paint is hot
when it comes off.

Thanks for the vid mate! Super therapeutic 😀

[winchesterinc.]

You’ve just made my life easier. You have no idea about the level of thankfulness I’m feeling right now.
