    For removing old paint, a better solution is a heat gun, it is not expensive and lasts longer than a chemical paint remover for the same price, and it can handle more types of paint, it looks like heavy oil paint on old doors,

    Be cautious of lead in the paint. Most exterior paints contained high levels of lead, and sometimes even mercury. If you use a sander make sure you use a high quality organic respirator with lead filtration. Best way to test is to draw a metal tool over the paint. If it leaves a dark streak it probably is lead. You can’t ever be to cautious with your health!

    You don’t need to remove all of the old paint. It‘s sufficient to remove the loose parts and all the dirt. Sanding would indeed help! Then give it two or more coats of fresh paint and it will be good as new!

    • @TheOddOne2
      @TheOddOne2 Год назад +4

      Also, IF you really want to remove it a heat gun and a paint scraper is much easier.

      @fatbackfitz Год назад +2

      Scrape the loose stuff. Coarse sand to blend surfaces. Prime bare wood. Paint use a single edge disposable razor to squeegee paint on glass back to glazing putty. I used to use only acrylic water based paint. Now I’m seemingly going back to oil. Use paint conditioner.

  • @troyw8338
    @troyw8338 Год назад +51

    I've found the jell paint removers work the best, 1 coat usually takes off most paint surfaces. 2 coats should remove it down to the wood. Then sand and stain or paint. 😊

    • @lilac6940
      @lilac6940 Год назад

      Yes, this is my experience too. Make sure the area is well-ventilated! The gel-type paint removers are very potent!

  • @Grumpyoldman037
    @Grumpyoldman037 Год назад +27

    Another way of removing paint is to use a heat shrink gun and a scraper. You heat up the paint until it bubbles, then scrape it off. If you are using stripper, It takes a lot of time and many coats to get the paint off. Best to ask at your store what is the most effective stripper. It just takes patience and work.

    • @zlauriault
      @zlauriault Год назад +1

      Good idea, but I wonder what's in that paint, and whether it not it has any latex in it at all.

    • @Grumpyoldman037
      @Grumpyoldman037 Год назад +5

      @@zlauriault My guess would be that it is an oil based paint. The heat gun method works just fine for all paints. With stripper, I found some paint that just defied stripping. I don't know what it was, but it was a hundred years old. Have no idea what they used back then.

    • @Pete-z6e

  • @markbernier8434
    @markbernier8434 Год назад +10

    It is customary to use 2 band clamps on the end of the hose. Try and find good stainless steel ones with hexagonal heads to tighten. The cheap ones will rust off in a couple of weeks. To strip the doors it is MUCH easier to take them off the hinges and work on saw horses. You need a paint scraper (not a spatula or putty knife) and a power sander (or more than one type) for that job. Just because a job takes more than a day it is not a failure.

    "Submersible pump" is the name, and everyone with a well in the USA has one. I have a water well that is 300 meters deep! The hole is just 6" diameter and so the pumps are long and narrow. Just wire brush the door and paint it blue. The rough surface is a good look, much sought after.

    Never a failed day guys. It’s all about learning. You’ll get it figured out. When you do get it all sanded down with a powered sander, make sure to use a high quality primer on it before painting again. Also wear good dust masks as well because I’m sure that is lead based paint. Luba is turning into a star. :-) Where Jack?

    • @xXTheoLinuxXx

    Hi guys, thanks for sharing your project 👍. Just a suggestion regarding of removal of such a thick coat of paint: try to use a heat gun and paint scraper. While heated the pain shuld come off easily with a flat paint scraper or putty knife. And after that you can use sander or sand by hand. Good luck!

  • @vintagegal5616
    @vintagegal5616 Год назад +4

    I really like watching you guys work on that house. The wood on the door is so old and the grain of the wood is splitting. The word for the machine in English is “sander.” But it still will look blue, but any new paint can hide that blue color. You just can’t use a stain. A good oil based paint will cover it good.😀

    Pavo this will change your painting life. "3M 7771 Stripper Brush, 4" Diameter. " It fits in a drill and works much better than drill wire brush or chemicals. It will even remove rust from metal. They don't last very long but each one could do the door and some trim.

    I have old house, built 1981, to clean the doors is a big job. I used paint stripper and then 2000psi water blaster, cleaned out all the grooves as well. But mind, wear protective clothing, the piant stripper splashes everywhere and can still cause damage on other sirfaces, or burn your skin.

  • @michaelcarron3418
    @michaelcarron3418 Год назад +1

    Wear a dust mask, and old cloths because it has lead in the paint. They make a paint remover that you can brush on. It will bubble up the old paint, then you scrape it off. All old paint has lead in it, very hazardus to ones health. It is better to remove the wood and do it in an open covered area so paint dust remains out side not in the house. Out side wood once the paint is removed, coat with Linseed oil let the wood soak it up. You may need to use a rotary sander with 80 grit to remove the layers. Then a vibrating sander with finer grit to smooth out the wood surface. Another way is to sand-blast off the old paint. So use the best dust mask you can get.

    Your right about using a sander it’ll definitely remove that thick paint for sure and you can also try paint thinner or acetone works well too. Using the sander will make it easier and quicker. Teamwork is key for success and y’all got that. Wasn’t a failure but a lesson learned that’s all no biggie just regroup and try again with a different approach. 😊

  • @Paulman50

    Don't do more work than necessary. Remove the paint that is loose and leave the paint that is firmly in place. Paint over with new paint. Do not paint with dense acrylate paint (plastic paint), but preferably with some oil paint, preferably linseed oil paint. Those are my tips for you and maybe they will give you something. I wish you the best of luck with the project and you are doing a great job.

  • @joettewarburton5328

    Hi,
    Try (brown) solid soft soap - can be used by everyone, and the method is cheap and effective. It must be scooped up with a spoon. Smear the wood in brown soap and cover with cling film. The soap will slowly but surely first soften the paint and then loosen it.
    Let the mixture sit for a few days and then remove it with a putty knife. Brown soap works more slowly than the harsher chemical paint removers on the market, but it is kinder to the environment.
    After treatment, wash with water added with acetic acid (2 l water to ¼ l acetic acid) to neutralize the process. Let the wood dry before working on it.
    All the best - SLAVA UKRAINI :)

    @joetaadaa7074 Год назад +1

    Well the two effective ways to take paint off is to sand blast it off, which creates other issues if done incorrectly. Plus needs special equipment. The other is chemical, which you had limited success. My suggestion is continuing the chemicals but leave on for a day or two. Would require taking doors off hinges and putting plywood or boards over that hole in your home to deter Vatniks. But who knows what the Soviet paints used have in them. You can always go the easiest route and sand it in spots to smooth out the edges of the old paint, then repaint in your colors.
    It's obvious the base coat is strong and adheres really well to the wood so keep it, just "fix" it where it's rough.
    That's my 2 cents, or rivnah's.

    Dear Pavlo & Luba. I enjoyed watching your house renovation videos.I noticed what looks like corrugated asbestos roof sheets in the garden. You may be aware that if these get broken, the dust particles can cause very serious health problems. You must wear a proper respirator if you are going to move them and do not break them. Better still get a specialist to dispose of them if you can. Stay safe - it is much worse than paint dust>

    I once had to removed some paint from a wooden door. I used sandpaper. If you use a machine (like Електрична шліфувальна машина -> google translated) it will only take like an hour at least for the flat surfaces. But I guess it is probably pretty difficult to rent a machine like that in the rural area.
    Also, I find it interesting that the Ukrainian word 'Farba' as the same pronunciation and meaning as the German word 'Farbe'. Perhaps, there was some exchange between the two languages in the past.

    Paint stripper is good for removing old paint off wood & Metal 😂😂😂 it’s like a clear gel/jelly and the old paint bubbles when it’s ready to scrape off

    From my own experience, I recommend a wood burner that will remove all layers of paint, and then you only need a grinder and the wood is like new. The same with windows, only here you need to remove the glass, but this is an opportunity to put a new putty after painting. It's a waste of time and money, with solvents you'll be tired before you find the right one. Good luck. Opalarka elektryczna do drewna Hot 2200
