\"Speedheater\u2122<\/p>\n

When using the Flexi Arm<\/a>, it is acceptable to have the surface of siding not be completely stripped of absolutely every bit of paint\u2026.if it will be repainted. The surface should be\u00a0cleared of loose paint. What remains is very tenacious paint, which after heating and scraping, is very\u00a0unlikely to fail later.<\/div>\n
\n

After using the Speedheater\u2122 1100<\/a>, the stripped surface is the perfect moisture content, \u00a0it will be smooth enough for immediate painting without sanding but has sufficient \u201ctooth\u201d for new paint to adhere properly and be long-lasting. Most paint for wood will not adhere well to surfaces which are too smooth and slick, like metal.<\/p>\n

Another observation harder to see is the mounting of the Flexi Arm<\/a> to a pipe\/pole. The pipe is 1 1\/2 \u00a0inches in diameter and sturdy metal to withstand \u00a0the tight clamping and unclamping of the bolt holding the Flexi Arm at one level. The clamp bolt must be moved up and down the pole to change the horizontal height for the next row. The Flexi Arm extends 5 feet on either side of the pole at one mounting. You can see this as the cleaned surface is on both sides of the pole at the same heights. \u00a0We recommend “top rail” poles from chain link fences as sturdy and easily cut to the size needed. \u00a0The size\/length of the pole is determined by how high up in the building the stripping needs to be done.<\/div>\n

It is difficult to see, but the two brackets which wrap around the pole, are screwed to the side of the building to stabilize the pole. With a 18+ lb Arm + 4.5 lb SH \u00a0when it is fully extended to 5 feet, there is quite a bit of torque which could bend a pole. This would make the SH bounce and not stay level and close to the painted surface.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
