    This Tool Helps RESTORE DOORS AND WINDOWS! See How...(Profile Paint Scraper/Steel Shave Hook)
    Scraping paint from old doors and windows can be extremely tricky. In this short video, The Honest Carpenter experiments with a shave hook / profile paint scraper from Chili Tools!
    Window and door restoration specialists use a variety of techniques to remove paint from old doors and windows.
    Often, they will remove units, then even take out window glass. Then, they will use a strong orbital palm sander to sand down the "flats"--or the flat rails, stiles and muntins.
    In order to carve out the paint on the "profiled" inner edges of the door panels, or window muntins, they will often turn to a profile scraper, or shave hook.
    With the bevel up, these blades can be used to carefully carve or scrape the figured contours of these surfaces.
    Window and door restoration specialists will also heat up the old paint using a heat gun. These tools can be dangerous though, and should always be handled cautiously!
    Also, paint from before 1975 can contain LEAD. The EPA has a strict set of guidelines for working with lead-based paint. Please read and follow their policies here:
    www.epa.gov/lead

    You can buy a test kit for lead and if you have lead paint you can take the door or window to a paint removal specialist where they will dip the piece in special paint removal liquid that removes all the lead paint. We did that with an old door that we turned into a headboard. Worked out perfectly.

      Thank you, Rocadamus! For a while in the early 2000s, I feel like they were selling lead test pens, like markers. But I haven’t seen them in quite a while, maybe they weren’t EPA approved. You’re approach was the best one though-I’d like to see that process!

      @@TheHonestCarpenter Thanks. We found a really cool old door at an old antique shop and knew almost immediately it probably had lead paint on it. We grabbed a lead paint kit from Lowes, just to be certain. It tested positive, so we contacted a local (in Phoenix) company that removes old lead paint by dipping it. It completely took ALL the paint off of the door down to the raw wood and it looked amazing. You can not be too careful about lead paint. Once we knew it was positive for lead, we covered it in plastic and taped it close, then took it to the paint removal place. Love your vids.

    Oh jeez I randomly clicked on this vid from a Google search whilst trying to shop for a new shavehook and then realised it was you Honest Carpenter!!! serendipity! - Yeah I've been pretty annoyed when going to sites and being asked to scrape clean a door/window with mouldings (and an easily scratched centred glass panel that they've asked me not to remove) when I've had nothing at my disposal but a large flat scraper. Note to self: keep that shavehook in your van at all times!
    Ps, good advice on the heatgun pre-application, a lot of folks I know would spend their entire day scrapping a door raw with just the tool and their elbow-grease. As for the safety aspect with the heatgun well it's obvious but I guess you have to state it to avoid liability so kudos.
    Last note is just to remove all intumescent strips, silicone or caulking before using the heatgun. Just my two cents 😃

Was working on steel windows and the plaster guy offered me $100 for the one I have. Very hard to find and not cheap when you do. Should be on a long angled steel stem and the head itself needs to be 2 inches. You can make one from steel but with the softer steel it will bend and dull quickly. Carbide will hold up much better.

    I bought the Allway Tools Soft Grip Contour Scraper Set with 6 Blades last summer to scrape off the lead paint on my porch. It works extremely well with a heat gun and some contour sanding afterwards. There were at least 10+ layers of paint to remove. The scraper is really the only way to remove paint along with a good heat gun other than a chemical stripper. I try to avoid the terribly strong and lingering odor that all chemical strippers give off. The single most important feature of a scraper I think is that it has to have a comfortable handle grip. You are most likely going to be scraping paint for many many long hours and if you don’t have a comfortable grip your hand starts to cramp very quickly. That was one of the main reasons I bought the Allway tools scraper. It is under $25 Canadian funds on amazon.

      There are special ones for windows, the Speed Heater and the Speed Heater Cobra (smaller version). They use infrared heat, and there's much less of a chance of the glass cracking. Still there, of course, but decidedly smaller. With the big one, you place it on a piece of wood sitting atop the "flats" described in this video, tilted at an angle to the next mullion you're aiming to scrape. Important to make sure it's directed primarily at the woodwork, and not the glass. I use a small, thin piece of plywood with soft furniture foot pads under, to protect the glass.

    I'll add only an old school trick I learned from my Granddad.
    24 hours before using the heat stripper, coat the surface to be stripped with a decent coat of plain old boiled Linseed oil. This helps to lift the paint from the wood and helps prevent scorching.
    Doing that would take less than half the time using just the heat gun, and requires less time with 1000° blasting away at an antique hardwood paneled door.

      Not many know the trade name for them these days. I've never seen one with an interchangeable head before, its a good idea. They're sharp when new, but blunt fairly quickly and you can't sharpen them. I don't like hot air strippers though, they don't get hot enough and outside in a slight breeze, they're useless. They're better for amateurs though. A flame is much better and quicker, but takes practice.

    This video brought back some old memories and the are all BAD! I had four of these tools. One was so old it had a wood handle. Craftsman used to sell a set with two handles so you would not need to change blades so often. I have not used one since the 1970s and I am so glad. In those days, you would take the door off the hinges and use a propane torch to heat the paint (usually lead based) away from the structure. Windows were also removed. Thankfully the newer paints last longer and are not as hard to remove from the surface with an orbital sander for flat surfaces and a Roto Tool for the profiles.

  • @biondatiziana
    @biondatiziana 3 года назад +1

    Test the paint layers for lead before doing anything. That way, if the paint doesn't contain lead, you won't have to follow all of the rules for removing lead paint, which are important, but a real PIA. Not all old paint contained lead -- only the "good" stuff. Lead additives increased durability, protected against mold, made the paint more crack-resistant, improved paint coverage, and had other desirable characteristics, and was used in more expensive paints. The lead percentage was usually higher in exterior paints, so be especially careful when removing exterior paint. Latex paints are relatively new and are less likely to contain lead (but you should still test if you don't know when the paint was applied). Finally, remember that even if you use a non-toxic paint remover, the paint sludge you scrape off may contain toxins.

    @tootall5559 3 года назад +1

    I'm mostly with monkeygaborange on what to use. However, there are places and times when the correct profile scraper is a job saver. I didn't use one like this, what I used was basically a flat piece of steel about 6 inches long and usually about 4 inches wide, but it was often cut to fit a specific shape, usually some shape that was uncommon on most jobs but common on a single job, if you get what I mean, not found in many places but found throughout a particular place. Sometimes, you don't want to use stripper, because the trim is located in a place where the stripper will run off and maybe ruin something else. In some of the old very ornate homes of yesteryear, you don't want to take down the trim either, that would make the job bigger and harder than it has to be. besides there's a good chance of breakage of irreplaceable trim if you try to remove 100+ year old wood trim. So, sometimes mild heat is okay, but you don't want to get it too hot. Rather than a heat gun I have used a blow dryer, better ones get just hot enough, but lower the risk of burning things. they don't last long with all day use, but can be picked up in thrift stores cheap enough to be considered throw aways. (clean the intake areas when you get them)

    The average diyer will probably scorch the wood and thus damage the door/window/furniture item when using a heat gun. It also wastes a lot of energy and takes a lot longer. Most pros stick to orbital sanders and diyers probably should follow that practice too. Having said that, I've seen these tools before as parts of a heat gun kit and I believe they have their uses (e.g. when working with painted iron). I'd use them but what is really missing is a heat gun with accurate temperature control. Noxious fumes are also a problem - e.g. when you have to work indoors.

Also some paint was left on windows after painting - scrappers were perfect for them also.

    I prefer using a heat gun and profile scrapers when cleaning up old doors and trim. Way faster and cleaner than chemical strippers that dry out the wood. In the end the results of restoring 100+ old wood is well worth the time.

    I feel like I didn't hear this said explicitly so... DO NOT HEAT GUN SUSPECTED LEAD PAINT. It will vaporize the lead into poisonous gas. He said to follow EPA guidelines, and that's at the top of the list for specialists who do lead paint remediation. The processes for those specialists are public. Read up!

    Yes those tools do work, however, I think I would rather use a paint and varnish remover. I have restored a few pieces of furniture. My first piece I spent hours and hours of sanding till I finally got smart and used a paint and varnish remover. And then only a little time was devoted to clean up sanding.

      I would always suggest this tool with an interchangeable head so you have an easier time sharpening it but still would have multiple scrapers at hand so you don't need to change the heads constantly when you are dealing with multiple profiles.

    • @shawnsmith4214
      @shawnsmith4214 3 года назад +3

      Sure it’s less expensive to buy a new door. However, old doors and new doors aren’t comparable. A new door made of solid wood, will cost easily 3-4 times the cost of stripping. The doors that are inexpensive are typically hollow and made from cardboard, or at best MDF. Not even close to the same thing.

    @howardbecdove9780 3 года назад

    This kind of work is not my profession, but I have spent the last two years restoring the cedar window frames, door frames, doors and cladding on my own place. I’ve experimented and refined my method and honed my technique.
    On flat surfaces I mostly just sand, using the best power tool, and on profiled areas/narrow edges, I use a non toxic (water based) remover and a non rusting steel or synthetic abrasive pad and or scraper, prior to sanding by hand, using a shape that fits the profile best.
    I’d never consider using a heat gun.
    Whilst the scraper you use, looks to do the job well on flat surfaces, I would prefer the much smaller triangular blades on a shorter shaft, to get into tight corners.These type of blades can also be rotated on all three sides when they get blunt.

  • @cassandraclark1189
    @cassandraclark1189 3 года назад +2

    Why not use a chemical stripper? At least on the bigger projects like that. if you're taking that door down to original, you're probably doing windows and trim work in that house too. That is a lot of scraping. Wouldn't chemies be easier?

    • @TheHonestCarpenter
      @TheHonestCarpenter  3 года назад +1

      That's definitely a possible approach, Cassandra. But showing it on the channel would have made me nervous--I want to team up with a company to cover paint stripping chemicals, so I can rely on their research for safety sake. In the future I'll definitely cover it!

    • @cassandraclark1189
      @cassandraclark1189 3 года назад

      @@TheHonestCarpenter I think I phrased that badly. I love your tool videos, no criticism intended. I guess my actual question was I got the impression that pros will frequently do it manually, or with a sander, what I wondered was why wouldn't professionals use chemical strippers instead of hand tools? Or did I read that wrong?

    • @TheHonestCarpenter
      @TheHonestCarpenter  3 года назад +1

      @@cassandraclark1189 No Worries! Pros will definitely use all the methods above. I think they alternate between them based on individual circumstances. For some reason when I see restoration pros resurfacing windows, they seem to do it more with heat and tools rather then chemicals. I'm not entirely sure why, maybe just don't want as much fume exposure. But designated painters, by contrast, seem to opt for chemicals strippers more frequently.
