If you are a contractor, professional painter, or have a large project, this is the best choice of paint removers for you. The New Silent Paint Remover 1100GRT has a stainless steel reflector housing and new gold reflector infrared tubes. The down-reflecting surface is actually integrated into the infrared tube, greatly reducing heat up into the tool and improving efficiency. These new gold tubes enhance the heat for quicker paint removal. The Silent Paint Remover 1100GRT is a revolutionary innovation for removing paint from exterior facades, windows, furniture and other forms of carpentry. Unlike other paint removing methods ( heat guns, checmicals etc ) the Heater 1100GRT uses infrared heat to soften paint which prevents damage to the wood surface & makes clean-up much easier.

Similar to the standard 1100, we tested this product out here in the Air-Nailers shop on a peice of wood from an old porch. There were at least 8 coats of paint on the board from over the last 20 years. We placed the silent paint remover over one spot for about 20 seconds, the paint started to bubble and smoke a little, then we promptly scraped the paint clean off. When heated, the paint turned into a soft rubbery substance. Here is a picture of this spot on the board:

The Heater 1100GRT is silent, saves time, is inexpensive to operate, and is gentle on the environment. You are left with dry & easily disposable paint chips.

The Heater 1100GRT is the only tool that softens both paint and putty at the same time, which makes it very effective, for example, in the renovation of windows. This is the latest technology in paint removing and is superior to any alternatives such as heat-guns, chemicals and sanders.

Specially Designed scrapers for this tool are now available:
Click here for scrapers
These scrapers make a big difference in performance. They have a vertical blade that ensures you won't dig into the wood grain. Also regular scrapers tend to gum up as the warm soft paint cools and hardens on the end of the scraper. When scraping on vertical surfaces, regular scrapers can cause the hot paint scrapings to fall down on your wrist and hand, but these scrapers scrape 'under' the handle, falling safely to the floor.

Common Questions and Answers:
|
| |
What are the power requirements.
The Silent Paint Remover runs on a normal 115 Volt 15 amp houshold circuit.
What is the electricity consumption?
The Silent Paint Remover 1100GRT consumes 1100 Watts
When should you begin painting after stripping a surface with the silent paint remover?
As soon as possible, preferably the same day as the moisture level in the wood will normally be as low as 8-10%. Ideally use a moisture meter.
What about old, dried-out layers of oil-based paint?
Pre-treat the surface with a solution of 80% boiled linseed oil and 20% mineral spirits produced 24 hours before. The solution can be applied using either a paintbrush or spray bottle. This makes work considerably simpler and a lot faster.
Plastic paint straight on wood?
Use the same method as for old, dried-out paint layers.
Is there a potential fire hazard?
Minimal. Operating temperature is normally just 200-400 degrees F. and only the irradiated surface becomes warm, in contrast to the 900-1500 degrees F. produced by a hot air gun where the air can get into cracks and start fires on the reverse side of the panel.
The parts of a building that are most susceptible to fire are roof footings and window and door frames.
Tip: If you want to feel that little bit safer, spray some water onto the roof footings and on the underside of the roof with e.g. a spray bottle before applying any heat. Water usually makes the process of paint stripping easier and is dried out by the silent paint remover.
Is there a danger from radiation?
Not dangerous, only as much radiation as produced by the embers of an open fire.
Is there a danger from gases?
You do not need to use a gas mask outdoors due to the large amount of air exchange. Indoors, a mask or smoke suction system should be used.
Note: At the low operating temperature (200-400 degrees) no plumbic ( LEAD ) gas is produced when used properly. (this only occurs at temperatures in excess of 750 degrees).
Can I safely remove lead paint from my home?
While the silent paint remover method of removal does not release lead gas from burning the paint like heat guns, there are still the same risks and precautions as with other forms of removal. Scraping after heating can cause dust and chips, as well as final light sanding needed before repainting. Lead paint should always be removed by a professional, especially when children are at risk. The silent paint remover is not a substitute for standard lead paint removal procedures. More safety information is available at
www.asbestos-abatement.com/lead.htm
www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/5055.html
How is the wood affected?
Moisture is drawn out, natural resins are melted and brought to the timber surface, which inhibits the ability of the wood to draw in more moisture.
This creates good adhesion for paint and extends the life of the paint layer.
Is there a time of year that's best?
Paint can be removed and undercoat paint work carried out at any time of the year, including winter.
Faulty IR tubes?
If pairs of tubes stop working, either a fuse or breaker has blown or there is a fault on the electrical cables running to the heater.
Scaffolding?
There must be a gap of at least 30 cm between the frontage and the scaffolding in order to accommodate the silent paint remover.
Wind?
Wind has a strong cooling effect, irrespective of whether it is hot or cold outside. For this reason, you should always protect the working surface in windy conditions using tarpaulin or similar.
Rain?
The silent paint remover is NOT water proof.
As a general rule, protect all equipment from exposure to water or other liquids.
Plaster?
It may be possible to remove paint from plaster and concrete using the silent paint remover. However, you should carry out a test to make sure.
Metal?
The silent paint remover usually works very well on window bars and sheet steel roofs that are painted with oil-based paint, but not on other metal constructions.
Why not use other methods of paint removal?
Paint stripping with lye (Potassium or Sodium Hydroxide).
How does it affect exterior wood siding?
Lye is used in the paper pulp industry for separating wood due to its ability to dissolve lignin, the substance that holds the fibers of the wood together.
On wood siding: this method softens the wood and makes it pliable and the resin, which is wood's natural protection against moisture and rot, is to a large extent removed. The wood surface also takes on hairline cracks that draw in moisture. The most serious problem is that lye gets into the capillaries in the wood, where it dries and forms salts that draw in moisture. When enough moisture has been drawn in, the salts seep out and break down the new paint layers and emerge on the surface in the form of a white powdery substance.
Solvents.
Generally speaking, removing paint using solvents will not damage the wood; there will be a certain amount of leaching of resin, but not to any great extent. The problem is that different types of paint usually come loose one at a time and must be scraped off one by one using new coats of solvent, which is why such an approach often requires great amounts of solvent. It is very important to clean the surface thoroughly after stripping the paint, eliminating any solvent residue that impairs adhesion of new layers of paint.
Blasting wood.
Blasting away old oil-based paint or thick layers of plastic paint cannot be done without causing substantial damage to the wood. The reason is that old oil-based paint is harder than the wood and thick layers of plastic paint are more tenacious than wood. Therefore, it requires more force than can be tolerated by the underlying material, resulting in the softer parts of the wood being pulled away at the same time as the paint, leaving a surface reminiscent of an alpine landscape. Paint applied to such a surface is liable to crack within a short space of time, and the underlying wooden surface has a greater propensity to absorb moisture causing the paint to peel.
Utilizing hand sanders and wood shaving equipment.
These types of tools will cause irreparable damage to the wood siding surface. it also can cause adverse medical damage to workers breathing large amounts of dust and paint particles that become airborne in this type of process. Painting on surfaces treated this way often result in a very uneven and unattractive painted surface that will show sanding and shaving patterns in the painted final coat.
Heat gun.
Utilizing a heat gun can cause burn marks on the wood surface. The temperature at which a heat gun operates, will cause paint to become airborne in the form of various gases which can cause irreparable damage to workers in the process. It is important to make sure that paint will not be heated up to that extent. Risk for fire is high and must be taken seriously.
