Over a century ago, a homeowner carefully brushed the first coat of paint onto the cedar clapboards of a handsome 1905 Craftsman bungalow. In the following decades, at least seven more coats followed, each trapping the layer beneath and sealing in lead\u2011based pigments common before 1978. Today, those layers are cracked, alligatoring, and hiding the wood\u2019s original beauty. Traditional paint removal methods (heat guns, harsh chemicals, and aggressive sanding) risk scorching the siding, releasing toxic fumes, or turning lead dust airborne.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

The Speedheater\u2122 infrared paint stripping system offers a different path: low\u2011temperature, energy\u2011efficient heat that softens paint and glazing putty so they can be lifted off in broad, satisfying sheets – leaving historic wood intact and ready for a new finish. This guide walks you through every step of stripping exterior paint on a historic house with the Speedheater, from prep to final primer.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t
