The most easy way to get rid of oil-based paint is by stripping with a chemical stripper or heat. There’s an excellent possibility it includes lead, in the event the paint was made before 1978. Sanding oil-based lead-paint discharges dangerous lead to the atmosphere, and sanding a mess is created by any paint. For warmth stripping, infra-red is the option. Infra-red strippers don’t get warm enough, although average heat strippers may cause wood to catch fire. Chemical strippers can be found in dangerous solvent-based and variants, with the strippers needing a little more work.
Infra Red Heat
Stopper in the warmth that is infra-red paint stripper. Most designs are formed having a handle just like a little home space heater.
Hold the heater about 6 inches from the area for 30 to 60 seconds, or in line with the producer’s instructions.
Scrape off and raise the paint that is softened having putty knife, a steel paint scraper or 5-in-1 scraping device, using care not to gouge the area beneath.
The softened paint on paper or a drop cloth.
Non-Hazardous Liquid or Gel Paint Strippers
Brush a large layer of non-hazardous paint stripper for oil-based paint on the paint using a paintbrush that is wide.
Wrap or protect the coated area using a sheet of newspaper or waxed paper.
Enable the stripper to take a seat so long as the container advocates, which will be maybe overnight and at least a long time.
Take away the paper.
Scrape off the paint using putty knife, a steel paint scraper or 5-in-1 device.
Solvent-Based Chemical Paint Strippers
Put on chemical-resistant gloves, a respirator mask and eye safety.
Brush the painted area with paint stripper.
Enable the stripper to take a seat provided that the manufacturer suggests, which can be typically at least two hours.
Scrape off the paint using putty knife, a steel paint scraper or 5-in-1 device.
