Tools and Hardware Reviews of Warner Manufacturing 382XXX Tool 1000-Watt Radiant Heat Paint Remover
Customer Review: It works!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this tool and had really high hopes for it. After donning a respirator mask, goggles, gloves, etc. and getting to work with this thing, I was somewhat disappointed. The paint bubbled and became a sticky mess, bleeding its way into the wood grain. Albeit the paint layers dated back to at least 1937 and there might have been an original coat of varnish under everything, but I had hoped for extreme makeover results.
I put the heat tool away and broke out a dremel tool with a fan sanding bit and started working the surface and it came clean...looking brandy spanking new.
A few weeks later I attempted a second window frame. This time I hit paydirt! There is a trick to using this thing, that I wish I had known. Listen closely...first...make sure your scraper is clean, no clumped up messes on it. Make sure it stays that way throughout the process. If you have to have multiple scrapers, or you have to stop partway through to clean it, do it. Trust me, its worth the effort. Second...do not overheat the paint. At first signs of bubbling, you will see a little smoke rising up, shift the heater away from your target spot slightly to begin the heat transfer process. As you move the heater down your surface, stick the corner of your scraper into the paint and lift it off of the surface, actually picking the paints surface and pulling it away from the wood and towards your body. DO NOT SCRAPE! The scraping seems to mash it into the wood. I was able to pull entire strips of paint right off by picking and lifting, making sure to gradually heat the surface and pull it slow.
I would suggest practicing this on some junk areas first. I wish I had known. Now I have a few hours of sanding ahead of me to fix my first attempt.
