THE SOLUTION THAT WORKED MySilent Paint Remover™ was about a minute away of being returned i could buy alot of heat guns and hire the people to use them for what I paid for the Silent Paint Remover™ for some reason i didn't i would give one more try. I am unisg a Sears 2.5 pull srcaper that works very very well and took the Silent Paint Remover to the wall one more time i left on for 40 seconds but instead of removing it from the wall and scraping i just moved to the side just enough so i could get my scraper in to clean that three inch spot, and to my amazement the paint was CLEAN OFF THE WOOD ALMOST EVERY TIME WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORD for me not removing the infrared was ticket , just keeping it on the wood WITH THE SIDE SHIELDS FULLY EXTENDED OUT left me with bare wood NO BURNT OR HOT WOOD. using the tool this way i can strip very fast , much faster than a heat gun ,you will develop your own way when it is right to slide the infrared to the next spot, i also believe the the type of wood that you are working on can effect the time that it takes for the paint to come off Good Luck I too thought that i was missing something when i got this tool, after researching this tool and seeing many videos of this product i thought that this would be the cat’s meow, especially after i was used to using a heat gun to remove paint,and i must say that after much practice i am fast with a heat gun and usually do not burn the wood,but what a relief to actually have a tool that has some speed to it (removing a 4×8″ piece of paint in 40 seconds great) I purchased the Silent Paint Remover™
The Problem
Removing the paint from my 2.5 car 10′high to door redwood garage and painting it within two week, my solution Silent Paint Remover™
After getting the Silent Paint Remover™ i started on my little project after reading the instructions I extended the side shields all the way out and let i go for 20 seconds , the results not the greatest , the paint really was not bubbling up , so 40 seconds alittle better but still not that easy to remove, so 60 seconds 120 seconds and easy but seemed as the paint was melting into the wood NO GOOD. this tool was not right i could remove more paint faster with a heat gun than this
My First Solution ( The wrong one)
i am using this Horizontally and noticed that alot of heat was coming past the side shield perhaps that was the problem, i lowered the side shields and tried again,—— DON”T DO THIS———–
The Results (VERY VERY BAD)
Paint bubbled up very fast but also burned and to get down to bare wood
the wood would burn before the paint came off clean , and the wood got VERY VERY HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE SOLUTION THAT WORKED
MySilent Paint Remover™ was about a minute away of being returned i could buy alot of heat guns and hire the people to use them for what I paid for the Silent Paint Remover™ for some reason i didn’t i would give one more try.

but instead of removing it from the wall and scraping i just moved to the side just enough so i could get my scraper in to clean that three inch spot, and to
my amazement the paint was CLEAN OFF THE WOOD ALMOST EVERY TIME WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORD for me not removing the infrared was ticket , just keeping it on the wood WITH THE SIDE SHIELDS FULLY EXTENDED OUT left me with bare wood NO BURNT OR HOT WOOD. using the tool this way i
can strip very fast , much faster than a heat gun ,you will develop your own
way when it is right to slide the infrared to the next spot, i also believe the the type of wood that you are working on can effect the time that it takes
for the paint to come off

Good Luck

I HAVE THE ENTIRE SILENT PAINT REMOVER KIT AT A COST OF A LITTLE UNDER $2,400.00. AFTER 3 DAYS OF TRYING TO STRIP A 6' X 7' DOOR JAM, BURNT WOOD, SPRAYING WATER, COATING SURFACE WITH LINCEED OIL FIRST THEN HEAT, I HAVE MANAGED TO REMOVE ONLY 60% OF OLD PAINT. THIS TOOL IS A JOKE! OR I'M DOING SOMETHING WRONG. I HAVE A 1600 SQ. FT. LAP SIDING, 80 YEAR OLD HOME TO STRIP. AFTER 7DAYS OF USING THIS SYSTEM, I GUSESS IT WILL TAKE ME ABOUT 3 YEARS TO REMOVE THE OLD LEAD AND LATEX PAINT. HOW DID YOU DO IT? I GUESS I’M MISSING SOMETHING HERE.

Our house is a little of 100 years old, and really needs to have various bits stripped. I've thought of one of these infrared-based strippers after seeing them on some home renovation shows. Good to know that they seem to work as advertised. :) Awesome. Our house is a little of 100 years old, and really needs to have various bits stripped.
