Is this heat gun durable enough to remove old paint from door frames and mouldings? I have 5 large frames to remove leftover paint after scraping.

This is a lower end heat gun not for industrial use. The quality is fine for homeowner occasional use.

I would not recommend for such a large job, if you are planning on doing it all at one go.

No, I don't believe it would be. I tried to use it to remove wallpaper border and it would not work for that either.

It works great especially for the newer paints. To test it after buying it, I sprayed epoxy primer (1.8mm tip), base color (1.5mm tip), and urethane clear (1.3mm tip). The gun performed flawlessly. I would suggest you keep a cheap gun for the primer and use this for color/clear, so you don't have cross-contamination from the primer. I use a Husky HVLP (about $50) that works great. I would buy this gun again. I use it on classic Corvettes....

Its tough paint, but its epoxy based (like hard plastic), so I don't think it would hold up to extreme heat very well if its really close to the burner. I would probably suggest trying high heat rated spray paint instead.

While I cannot guarantee that it will not remove paint, my experience is that it removes very easily...I used it to tape a runner to a floor for a wedding and it did not harm the finish.

use a heat gun and then use this stuff to get the sticky stuff left behind by the sticker

i have not tried it but i don't think it would be that big of an issue. you can always use goo-gone if there is sticky residue. not sure if it will lift off varnish or paint... i suppose you can just sand that down and re-varnish or re-paint.

This seems to be a general issue, regardless of the brand of tool. I bought a caulking removal tool and it works well and does a pretty good job of removing flaking paint.I bought some blades from Imperial and they seem to hold up pretty well. The main use for the tool is for places where nothing else can get access. It works really well, even with a worn blade for cutting rectangular holes in drywall. Another application is to remove relatively small damaged areas of a panel. Then cut a plug to insert and glue in place.

It will remove loose paint & rust I used it on a rusty trailer. no need to remove good paint.

The gun full of paint is fairly heavy and becomes cumbersome for large jobs. However for small projects I have no problems with it. If you have weak wrists, I think it will be difficult for you. However this gun does work perfectly and produces good results.

I don't know never tried it. I paint many pieces of furniture with it. I know with the spayer it only takes about ten minutes to paint each piece. The gun works really well. I think you could paint a house Bernie

I used it to paint a plastic slide that has been out in the weather all year long. My grandchildren played on the slides again this weekend and I noticed that the paint had held up very nicely. However, there were some tiny places that the paint had come off but can easily be touched up.

I would not buy this gun specifically for a big project like a door, but I have painted large door size surfaces and it does okay.

This is a pretty good soldering gun; I bought it to solder heavy duty starter brush leads and residential wiring. It will normally cause the solder to flow in a minute or less, depending on how much copper you have bundled together. I have had mine for a couple of years now and it's great...gave the smaller one away...you won't be disappointed.

I used it to remove some foam tape residue that was left when the side moulding was removed on my car. It didn't damage the paint on the car. I would try a small place on the leg of the table or under the top to be sure that it doesn't soften the dried finish before I would use it on the top.

Yes, I removed mine last week (for reasons unrelated to the product) and the paint is fine. It is not a reusable product, however.

I used this paint to repair damaged paint in mine. I sanded with 120, 180 and 220 grit sand paper cleaned out very well with paint thinner not to remove paint, but to get rid of sanding dust between each sanding. Feathering edges of the paint where it met the bare metal. Then I sprayed three light coats of the cavity paint. Let dry between each coat. On one I had a little run as my microwave has raised platform when turntable rotates. I lightly sanded and cleaned with thinner after coat was dry. When finished looked very good. Was pleased with results, but think you have to do the prep work (sanding and cleaning) to get good results. Hope this helps. I used this paint to repair damaged paint in mine.

I found the PC Products to be easy to use and durable. The hardening liquid is amazing! It hardened the surface allowing the filler to take hold. I used it on a window frame, applying several layers and allowed it to dry and harden before applying another layer. My only problem was in the finishing. The material is hard to sand, so the top layer is messy and not to my satisfaction. All in all it is a good solution if you don't want to replace the door! Hope this helps.
