Whats the best thing for removing gloss paint?

Professionals use a blowtorch, amateurs tend to use a hot air gun with a stripping knife.





You can also use paint stripper but this is expensive.Whats the best thing for removing gloss paint?
Gas cartridge blow lamp on wood that is going to repainted (faster, but can scorch), a hot air gun if you don't want so much fierce heat to the surrounding area. Do not use either exteriorly on fascia board, eaves, soffits, gable ends, guttering, as roof fires can occur hours later. Use a combination shave hook with either.





Nitromors (chemical stripper) and steel wool is expensive and messy, but good for intricate mouldings.





Taking doors off and having them dipped professionally can be cost/time effective, but they must be done properly, dried out slowly and if they are old they can loosen up a bit.Whats the best thing for removing gloss paint?

You can use Nitromors (or it's called very similar). Don't forget to use protective clothing and be in a well ventilated place.
