How to apply masking tape before painting walls.Steam Paint Removal
Excerpt from the Steam Paint Removal booklet:
http://www.historichomeworks.com/hhw/reports/reports.htm#Steam
John Leeke demonstrates using steam to remove heavy paint build up from wood surfaces in this five minute video. Steam paint removal softens the paint film so it can be more easily scraped away. It works well with the heavy paint buildup commonly found on the exterior of older buildings during house restoration and historic preservation projects.
Advantages:
This method has significant advantages over mechanical scraping and shaving, chemical stripping and the dry-heat of torch, hot-air gun and infra-red lamp methods:
- Significantly reduces the risk of starting a building fire.
- Helps control the lead-dust health risk issue because it is an inherently damp process and eliminates the lead-fume risk.
- No fumes from heat decomposition of binders in the old paint.
- Relatively low setup cost.
- Lower operating and supply costs than chemical paint removal.
- Lower residue disposal costs.
