For best paint removal results, move the gun
slowly and steadily forward at an angle to the
surface to be stripped. This allows you to safely
scrape behind the hot air stream and keeps the
scraper and scraped surface cooler. Holding the
heat gun at an angle also preheats the paint as
you scrape.
The chart below explains the four zones for the
paint removal process (Fig. 6).
Zone Description
1 Warm air preheats the paint
2 Hot air softens the paint
1+2 Heat penetrates complete area
3 Paint can be easily scraped off as soon
as it is softened and the heat gun is
moved forward
4 Stripped surface is allowed to cool
