Anyone know of a quick way of doing this without the use of a HeatGun?
Past experiance with heat guns tells me they dont last, even when you let them cool down for 10/15 minutes.
Thanks

My Bosch is still going strong after many years of abuse. But you could always try a gas or paraffin torch.
I nearly blew meself up with one o those. :-O
Eh? My B&D must be 25 years old and still going strong. And it's been used for hours at a time.
Whats that idea that I have seen on the TV where they cover a moulding in cellophane and some stripper(paint not the female type)?
anyone know?
Heh! then the new type are crap, cos I have only stripped a Bedroom door and then started on the bay window 20 minutes after, it just died on me.

Hi Ben
Then return it from whence it came & get a refund!
You only have three options;
Burn it off. Sand it off. Chemically remove it.
Burning is faster & cheaper IME.

Are you sure it's dead, and not merely resting? These hot air guns tend to come with overheat cut-outs, and will shut down automatically after a certain length of time. You have to wait something like 10 minutes before they reset. Try it again,
