Title: Blowtorch paint removal!
Post by: SRVLIVES on November 27, 2006, 10:59:06 PM
My brother dropped me off one of those little handheld blowtorches the other day and I've been using it to soften up/burn the paint on a door I'm stripping.

Works really well if you then hit it with the wire wheel, just gotta keep the heat moving. ;D

Trick is to keep the flame moving and not let it stay on one area too long
