Good idea! It’s weirdly fun. Have you heard of Fat Lama? Not sure if they are in your area, but you can rent things from other people in your town. If Home Depot doesn’t rent them, you might be able to try that too.

If you do want to use a heat gun, be sure you test for lead-content paint first (very common in old houses) and use a low-temp heat gun & a fume-rated mask. (I stripped a door once before I knew to be cautious, and the fumes were really nasty.)

Yep, it really is the best: no chemicals, no having to open windows, avoid the area, wait… It’s so much faster, easier and cleaner than using strippers.

Thanks Doreen!
