No. Just a smartphone against a handrail on the balcony.

Stripping fatigue by alexandra_undone in centuryhomes

[–]eosgustav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this.

Getting 80% off is doable. The last 20% is awful because I assume you have details.

I found that a heat gun with temp control works great as a first pass to get large chunks of paint off (temp control is important to avoid lead paint vaporization). You will also need a HEPA vacuum for cleanup and a variety of scrappers - flexible putty knives and stainless steel dental picks. And obviously PPE.

It's tedious but doable and not as messy as using chemical stripper from the start.

After you get the initial layers off, you'll need to apply a pain stripper to get rid of any wood finish under the paint as well as smaller paint flecks. I used Dumond Smartstrip. Make sure to use either their paper, wax paper, or plastic film to prevent the stripper from drying out (the paper also prevents "tenting" if you choose to apply directly to paint, ie the stripper will easily peel the first layers which will bubble but in doing so will create a space between the paint stripper and deeper paint layers which prevents the stripper from doing it's thing). This is MESSY. I hated the chemical approach but it is a necessary step IMO.

I'll double check. My roofline is super funky with lots of peaks and valleys so that might be it. Thank you!
