I have an old door that could do with a complete “makeover”. A couple weeks ago I tried a so-called chemical “paint remover”. The theory is very simple, apply remover to surface and voila after 10 min. – the pain can easily be scraped off. As you have guessed, that was the “theory” and reality is something completely different.
Basically, it doesn’t work! Even in the areas, that got more than ample, it hardly did any difference. To make it worse – the price-tag is steep (over 150 dk.kr.). I had really hoped, that this “magical product” could save me a lot of time and effort – but as to many times before, my hopes got shattered and burned… Rising from commercial hopes – to tragic reality.
What can I say – life is evil and too cruel some times!!
Now enough with the self pity and negativity. Last Thursday i bought a 2000W heat-gun, with a good assorted set of scrapers at a reasonable price. To remove what chemicals couldn’t. I’ve tried on a small patch – and I can say it’s a bit slow but darn effective.
My plan is as follows. I’ll get back as soon as I get started with pictures and text – so keep tuned in…
Well, it is definitely not a cat :=)
