melting paint off of old doors

We’ve got two front doors, both of which are fairly detailed and also covered in 100+ years worth of paint. Ronni has taken it upon herself to get these clean as the rest of the front of the house gets some attention.

She is using the new heat gun and making good work of it, though she still has a few more sessions to be finished.

Ronni, you missed a spot.

I found your blog through Shaker Heights, and I’ve been working my way backwards. Lovely house, and great neighborhood!

I’m glad to see you’ve had such success stripping with a heat gun. I have some CitriStrip working on a door as I type this, and four hours in, there doesn’t seem to be any bubbling or peeling. A heatgun is my backup plan!
