I like to use it when there is multiple layers of paint, easier to come off. When it's just one or two layers I like to just sand it off, also make better prep work.....I do not like using strippers cause of the fumes, and they only take one or two layers off at a time, and vary messy too....
It is always good to read instructions, that way you make sure you are doing it right. I'm one of those people that just do and don't read before, and have spent a lot more money fixing the problem......

First of all, I use a heat gun to remove old paint from exterior clapboards and window frames. I then sand the area, once I have removed the paint with a paint gun and scraper. For window frames, I hold the gun away from the window panes, so the heat doesn't crack the glass, but makes the paint plyable enough to scrape off.

Always refer to manufacturer's instructions and follow them, to ensure that the paint will adhere to the surface evenly and give you the required finish. Also, by following these instructions, and the paint fails, you are covered under their warranty!

Sand blast it OR walnut blast it Paint penetrates the floor of the brick and you will would desire to get rid of component of the floor the get all of it off .or you're able to do what Ross Perot did along with his baby hood abode .He repurchased it and somebody had painted the brick and he needed it precisely like it became into whilst he lived there So he had masons take it aside brick via brick and swap them around so the painted floor became into no longer seen
