It seems like the low temp on the heat guns would be as hot as the hair
dryer and speed up the time however, one wouldn't want to exceed 500 to 750
at most.
I didn't realize that say, 600 would melt lead.

I have one that heats to 600 degrees... you can damage stuff with it and
heating governor balls with one might cause them to melt, not to mention
that lead fumes are not great for your health. That holds true for old lead
paint, as well.

tom:
good point, I generally follow the same. *grin*
Just to compare, I looked on E-bay after Steve's source got my curiosity.
It
seems they heat up to 500 to 1200 degrees?
How hot does a hair dryer get to compare.
Your story supports my concern as I would hate to start some grease, oil,
or
some other substance on fire unknowingly.

Bob,
Sometimes slow and deliberate is the best way. Especially when working
with
valuable antiques.
I once used a heat gun on an antique dresser handed down through my Family
that I was stripping three coats of paint off of. One of my "ancestors"
thought that it was a good idea to paint a beautiful serpentine faced
dresser made of quarter sawn oak with white paint, then yellow, then white
again.
I thought that the heat gun would hurry the job along. I ended up burning
the oak in a few places. It took me much longer to repair the damage than
if I had just stuck with the citrus based stripper that I had been using.
The old story of the tortoise and the hare comes to mind. :0)

thanks, I had heard of them however, I use a hair dryer mostly. Sometimes
I
get tired of it taking so long. Always wanted to try one.

A heat gun can be purchased at hardware stores and is used for stripping
paint among other things. They have a higher heat output than a hair
dryer
and can cause damage or start a fire if not used properly.

I like all the suggestions and would like to add how helpful a heat gun
might be. Those of you that know me, also know that I don't own a
hairdryer
but I imagine it would also help. Jerry Blais
