Turning old furniture into a gleaming antique? Refinishing a door? Making a table top look sleek? Tired of smelly and messy chemical paint strippers or supercharged heat guns that require a lot of scraping and sanding to get down to the bare wood? Of course you are, because it's messy, smelly, and a lot of work. All that is about to change with the introduction of a new paint-stripper tool. The new silent paint remover uses infrared light to penetrate, heat and soften layers of old paint in just a minute or less, without making a mess or generating a lot of excess ambient heat. While a bit pricey for homeowners (about $400), it can be rented on a daily basis. Check tool rental centers and hardware stores or look for the silent paint remover online. And that's the On The House tip for today.
