Tool to me remove paint with my heat gun?
Ive got to the stage now where I need a smaller tool to remove the paint from the hard to get to areas by the spindles.
Can anyone suggest a good tool to use with my heat gun.
Please do not suggest Nitromours as Ive used it before and dont fancy the mess again.
10 points for the best answer and who can supply links to the tools needed.
cheers
Answers:
there is a different type of shaving hook you can get in any good diy shop or a 1 inch scrapper. its best to use nitromours and wire wool when you have stripped all the paint this will get your wood looking really clean just wash down the wood with white spirits and sand down i done it on my stairs looks great
I have assumed you are in the UK..
All you need for the really small spots is a 1/8 inch putty knife available at any craft or hardware store.
You could try a wire brush to brush away the melted paint from crevices.
That tool that you're using, a "shave hook", well,....in the good 'ol bad 'ol days, :-) Tradesmen would use them, and use them,... and use them. They were sharpened now and again with a file, and so, they got smaller, bit by bit. Until they got to a stage where they were not covering a large enough area, so a new one was bought. But the old one was kept, to go in those hard to get at small places. As it was sharpened it got smaller, and went into even smaller hard to get at places. In time several shave hooks were in the toolbag to cover every eventuality. Ideally Baggie what you need is an old shave hook that is either well filed down, or one that you can file down to suit your current needs. :-)
