better than the cheaper ones from hardware stores?<\/a><\/h3><div><div class=\"inner-toggle-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Not all paint scrapers are created equal. Cost, quality, and effectiveness vary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Most of the scrapers we offer are pull type. Most people use putty and drywall knives to push paint off. Pushing is less effective than pulling heated, soft paint. Speedheater\u2122 scrapers have ergonomic, easy-grip, and long handles that allow you to use both hands and apply more even and wider pressure on resistant paint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The scraper blades are made of steel that is harder and thicker than most lighter, more flexible metal scrapers. The Speedheater\u2122 blade steel is \u201cspring steel\u201d which resists chipping and bending when it hits hard objects like nails. These blades have very sharp, beveled edges. These blade edges quickly, evenly and thoroughly strip away paint down to the bare wood in just a few strokes. They also prevent damage to wood which duller, uneven blades might do. Speedheater\u2122 scrapers blades have different edge profiles: convex and concave curves; and wide and narrow straight edges. Selecting the scraper with the blade edges which match the flat or curved surfaces you are stripping is key to efficient and effective scraping.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Speedheater\u2122 method of using infrared to soften the coating and matching the right Speedheater\u2122 scraper make the job of stripping paint or varnish easy. No matter if a surface is flat like exterior siding or curved like interior doors, baseboards, or intricately carved wood, this method cleanly, safely, and efficiently gets a thickly-painted surface immediately ready for new paint.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap\" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-max-width-mobile=\"default\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" >\n      <div class=\"inner\">\n        <div class=\"hover-wrap\"> \n          <div class=\"hover-wrap-inner\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-with-animation skip-lazy\" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"185\" width=\"300\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/eco-strip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Speedheater\u2122-Boomerang-Blade-3-300x185-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\"  \/>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div><div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap\" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-max-width-mobile=\"default\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" >\n      <div class=\"inner\">\n        <div class=\"hover-wrap\"> \n          <div class=\"hover-wrap-inner\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-with-animation skip-lazy\" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"198\" width=\"300\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/eco-strip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Speedheater\u2122-Boomerang-Blade-4-300x198-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\"  \/>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"toggle default\" data-inner-wrap=\"true\"><h3><a href=\"#\" class=\"toggle-heading\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus-circle\"><\/i>What is the difference between heat guns and Speedheater\u2122 Infrared Paint Removers?<\/a><\/h3><div><div class=\"inner-toggle-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t<p><strong>A. Area stripped:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 The Speedheater\u2122 Standard 1100 heats a 3\u201d x 10\u201d area evenly with only one application. The specific infrared wave lengths used in the Speedheater\u2122 heat only what is directly in front of the heat source. They do not heat the surrounding area. Heat guns blow super hot air unevenly across a strip only several inches wide. The heat gun has to be in constant motion which makes it difficult to control where and for how long the paint is heated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>B. Paint temperature required to make the paint bubble:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0The Speedheater\u2122 infrared rays need only to heat the paint to 400-600\u2109 to separate the bottom layer of paint from the wood. Heat guns must heat paint from the top down to 1000\u2109 to make it bubble for scraping.<\/p>\n<p><strong>C. Risk of fire:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0The blowing hot air of heat guns goes between and under boards and into crevices where dust and debris can easily ignite. The high heat penetrates onto the reverse side of the wood and into the materials behind the wood. Undetected from the surface, these can catch fire later after the stripping is done. The infrared rays create heat only in the upper portion of the wood and in the paint. They are not pushing heated air. The rays do not heat the back side of the wood or behind it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>D. Operator skill:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0The infrared bulbs of the Speedheater\u2122 evenly heat paint in one application to a lower temperature. It requires less operator skill to safely monitor the heating. Using the Speedheater\u2122 pull scrapers one can quickly remove all the paint layers down to the bare wood in a few, long strokes. Heat gun operators traditionally use dull putty scrapers. Push scraping at the correct angle with each stroke is difficult. Reheating and rescraping is often necessary to remove the paint thoroughly. Without experience, it is easy to mar the wood using these common tools.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"toggle default\" data-inner-wrap=\"true\"><h3><a href=\"#\" class=\"toggle-heading\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus-circle\"><\/i>Is the Speedheater Method safe for people?<\/a><\/h3><div><div class=\"inner-toggle-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t<p>Lead in paint turns into invisible, toxic fumes at 900-1000\u2109.

The wave length is not harmful to the eyes; it is the same as what the embers of an open fire emit.<\/p>\n<p>Wearing heat-protective gloves, eye protection, and a respirator or dust mask is recommended.

They also heat acrylic and plastic paint; however, these coatings heated can be gummy and require frequent cleaning of the scrapers. Milk paint and shellac will heat but require more back and forth scraping. Infrared heat does not release stain as its pigment has soaked deep into the wood grain.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"toggle default\" data-inner-wrap=\"true\"><h3><a href=\"#\" class=\"toggle-heading\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus-circle\"><\/i>On what kinds of surfaces does the Speedheater\u2122 work?<\/a><\/h3><div><div class=\"inner-toggle-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t<p>Speedheater\u2122 was designed to work on wood. It is also effective on metal window bars and sheet metal painted with oil-based paint. On plaster and sheetrock, the paint may soften but the scraping may damage the surface. The Speedheater\u2122 is less effective on thicker metal, marble, concrete and other stonework as the heat tends to dissipate into these. On brick, the paint may separate from most of the surface, but the brick\u2019s uneven surfaces make complete scraping the soft paint difficult and damaging to the scraper blades. For most of these non-wood applications, we recommend environmentally-friendly chemical strippers.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"toggle default\" data-inner-wrap=\"true\"><h3><a href=\"#\" class=\"toggle-heading\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus-circle\"><\/i>How is the wood affected?<\/a><\/h3><div><div class=\"inner-toggle-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t<p>Using the Speedheater\u2122 Infrared Paint Remover is the gentlest method for stripping wood. Excess moisture is drawn out of the wood. Mold and mildew spores and algae are killed. The natural resins deep in the wood are brought to the surface. This rejuvenates the dry wood, creates a porous substrate for the new primer to grip onto and thus extends the adherence and life of the new paint. In addition, infrared heat opens the grain of the wood much more effectively and without damaging the wood. With our sharp, pull-type scrapers, the wood is scraped cleanly but with sufficient tooth for strong, new paint adhesion. With wet stripping methods, there is chemical residue, neutralizer, or water remaining in the wood to potentially cause the paint to fail later. With sanding, dry scraping, or paint shaving, the wood surface can be marred.<\/p>\n<p>You can do a simple test to see how well the grain of the wood opens and becomes porous using different paint stripping methods. On one painted board, heat and remove the paint in one section with the Speedheater\u2122 Infrared (IR) Paint Remover. On different sections, use other methods. Then pour a small amount of water on each method\u2019s section. On the section of bare wood stripped with infrared rays, the water instantly gets absorbed into the wood. On the sections stripped using other methods, the grain is not opened sufficiently to allow the water to be absorbed as much or not at all.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"toggle default\" data-inner-wrap=\"true\"><h3><a href=\"#\" class=\"toggle-heading\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus-circle\"><\/i>When is the best time of year to strip paint using infrared heat?<\/a><\/h3><div><div class=\"inner-toggle-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t<p>Paint can be removed with infrared at any time of the year, including winter. However, if the ambient air temperature around the work area is below 50\u2109, the heating time will greatly increase. The wood is much colder at the start. In addition, the cold air quickly cools down the heated paint and makes it re-adhere and harden again. It will me more effective and efficient to find a heated facility or to wait until warmer weather. Windy conditions can reduce the effectiveness of the Speedheater\u2122. Wind may blow away the infrared rays which need to stay pointed directly at the painted surface to be most effective. Protecting a work area from wind prevents this.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"toggle default\" data-inner-wrap=\"true\"><h3><a href=\"#\" class=\"toggle-heading\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus-circle\"><\/i>How quickly can I repaint wood stripped with Speedheater\u2122Infrared Paint Removers?<\/a><\/h3><div><div class=\"inner-toggle-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t<p>Immediately! The scraped wood has sufficient roughness for the new paint to adhere well. Wood stripped with infrared is left at the perfect moisture content (less than 10%) for long-lasting paint adhesion. Do not leave bare wood exposed to the elements for extended periods of time. The bare wood can quickly absorb moisture again. Wet wood is the most common cause of paint failure. We recommend stripping exterior paint when the outside temperatures make immediate repainting possible.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"toggle default\" data-inner-wrap=\"true\"><h3><a href=\"#\" class=\"toggle-heading\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus-circle\"><\/i>What if my paint is very dry, cracking, and peeling?<\/a><\/h3><div><div class=\"inner-toggle-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t<p>Decades of weathering can evaporate the oil or other solvents in paint. If you apply the Speedheater\u2122Standard 1100 to a coated surface and it does not bubble and slightly smoke in 20-60 seconds, this may be the case. The infrared rays need the liquid to break the bond between the surface and the paint. You can correct this situation by applying linseed oil to the specific areas not reacting to the rays. The linseed oil can be applied with a brush or diluted with mineral spirits (at a 4:1 ratio) and sprayed from a garden pump sprayer. Allow the linseed oil to set on the coating overnight. This oil rejuvenates the dry paint and soaks into any bare wood to prevent it from scorching while heating the adjacent painted areas. The linseed does not impact the adhesion of the new paint.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"toggle default\" data-inner-wrap=\"true\"><h3><a href=\"#\" class=\"toggle-heading\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus-circle\"><\/i>What if I can\u2019t get all the paint or varnish off in one heating and scraping?<\/a><\/h3><div><div class=\"inner-toggle-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t<p>Keep your scraper blades sharp. You may need to heat the surface longer. Let the wood and paint cool off slightly by working on a new area where you apply the heat a few seconds longer and scrape. Then return to the first area. Because the wood in this first area may be more exposed after the first scraping, apply the heat for much less time than the first time so that you do not scorch the wood. You also can spray the wood with water to prevent it from scorching. Scrape the remaining paint off.
