  • We purchased a foreclosure two unit home in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This is our third day of DIY remodeling. We are finally getting to use the Silent Paint Remover, which used Infrared bulbs to heat the paint and you scrape the paint off. We purchased the Silent Paint Remover SH2000 TWIN model, which is in the video from www.silentpaint....
    This- www.thisoldhous... is one of the articles we read which helped us make our decision to purchase.
    We will do our best to post each day from the remodeling/renovation.

    Thank you for posting the video. I believe the instructions recommend raw linseed oil (not boiled). I imagine this is because it does not cure and will penetrate all night. You may want to see if this improves results in any way.

    whenever you use a heat gun on paint, if the paint is known to contain lead, or if it is not known but it might - MAKE SURE the heat gun does not have the capability to reach 1100 degrees because if it does (and some do) that is the temperature where lead becomes an aerosol and you will be effectively vaping lead.

    • @mick2spic
      @mick2spic 3 года назад

      Good info, appreciate that. Do these infrared tools get to that temperature to make lead vaporize? I was reading people recommend infrared for indoors but then I see it heats up and smokes the paint. And there’s other unwanted chemicals in old paint besides lead that is great to breath indoors

      @@mick2spic I do not know the answer to that, however in the training for the EPA "Certified Renovator" designation which is required for contractors who work on pre-1978 houses, whose work involves "disturbing" the paint (or stain) in any manner - what they teach in the class is to be VERY careful with heat guns, 1) from the standpoint you can set the house on fire with one, and 2) lead (paint) will aerosolize when subjected to a threshhold temperature - and if/when that happens - it is a VERY dangerous form of potential exposure to lead because you breath it right in. To my knowledge, the issue is the temperature, not what technology is used to get to that temperature - but I do not fully know the nuances of that. What they teach in the class is that it is the temperature that creates the scenario of aerosolization, and if/when that happens, it is a VERY dangerous form of lead exposure because it is so efficient in getting the toxin into your lungs. Frankly, I don't know, but I'm not sure if the required N100 mask will even block the lead when it is aerosolized. Maybe, but I don't know. If you are going to use a heat gun for anything - you need to make very very very sure you have the safety issues all covered - for fire safety and lead paint issues.

    You might try a propane torch or heat gun - test to see how much heat -DON'T BURN - you need or flame spreader - electricity isn't cheap. They would be a little more useable, perhaps, on a vertical surface like wood siding. Also, you are going to do a lot of work on an old wood sided house. I'D JUST TAKE THE SIDING OFF & RE-SIDE USING VINYL - especially on a foreclosure . Or remove wood and nails, plane siding and re-install - replacing bad wood. You can rent a planer but only take down like 1/64th an inch. If you want to re-use/re-paint wood you could also sand with a belt sander (rented). I'd use a 80-100 grit, maybe even rougher. Watch it - it will take it down fast especially under pressure, test first and wear safety goggles and a mask. I'D ONLY SAND/RE-PAINT/REMOVE PAINT AS A LAST OPTION. RE-DOING WOOD SIDED HOUSES IS A BOATLOAD OF WORK.

      Lead is one of the reasons you'd use a tool like this. The paint is left as solid pieces that can be wiped up and disposed of, rather than kicked up as dust into the air that will settle on everything and be easy to inhale.

      Modify respirator to pull air from rear. Use glasses, long sleeve clothes. This is way worse than pressure washing and grinding. Since you will solely be dealing with un bound lead first coat that is made brittle by the heat. Feathering deals with upper layers. While water blasting chips arw still encapsulated and boundup with acrylic top coats. Also, areas that are peeling prone, usually have had lead peel off decades ago. While tight areas with lead, usual stay tight with 1 or 2 percent peel per decade.
