Last stripping job I did -- a set of kitchen cabinet doors --
I used a card scraper to take off the old paint in record
time. Scraper edges were just filed, not burnished.


One Atta Boy coming atcha, Hasky.


My *cheap* Eberle scraper took down the old latex twice as
fast as my $20 Chinese heat gun. *Sure, I had to file it every
15 minutes, but that was a 30 second job.


But will it do mouldings and other curves? *

Gooseneck or custom profile. Carved details are still
going to need methylene chloride, but you'll be needing
*much* less.
