Please be careful stripping paint with a heat gun. My house caught on fire last week when the painters ignited a birds nest behind the metal flashing. The fire was INSIDE the house even though they were stripping the outside. Don't think that a heat gun is safe because there is no flame. I am here to tell you that a fire can happen!
