Default Getting paint off the bay window?

Anyone know of a quick way of doing this without the use of a HeatGun?

Past experiance with heat guns tells me they dont last, even when you let
them cool down for 10/15 minutes.

Thanks

Eh? My B&D must be 25 years old and still going strong. And it's been used
for hours at a time.

Heh! then the new type are crap, cos I have only stripped a Bedroom door and
then started on the bay window 20 minutes after, it just died on me.

Hi Ben

Then return it from whence it came & get a refund!

You only have three options;

Burn it off.
Sand it off.
Chemically remove it.

Burning is faster & cheaper IME.

Are you sure it's dead, and not merely resting? These hot air guns tend to
come
with overheat cut-outs, and will shut down automatically after a certain
length of time.
You have to wait something like 10 minutes before they reset. Try it again,

Andy.
