(Safe, in the sense of not igniting insulation in the wall cavity...)<br />I'm wondering if you have discovered John Leeke, who specializes in historic building preservation and has a wonderful website & excellent publications on a variety of helpful topics. His website is:<br />http://www.historichomeworks.com/hhw/index.htm. He's also a really nice guy!<br />I love seeing what you're up to!

It's not rocket science but definitely keep your kids and pets away while you strip.<br />Previous Anonymous' comment about how to get a Manual is wrong. Speedheater.eu refers to a different infrared paint remover, the Speedheater. That one is UL-certified and the original one from which the Silent Paint Remover was copied in 2006. They look alike but the "Heater 1100" embossed in the metal ends of your Silent Paint Remover (instead of "Speedheater 1100) means it is the copy. Right now the Speedheater Kit from Eco-Strip in the US is on sale. You would have been able to strip the door's panel molding easily with the second scraper included in the $410 Speedheater Kit. Too bad. The $15 less you paid cheated you out of the extra tool you needed.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-81867182740332012502013-05-15T20:19:47.265-04:002013-05-15T20:19:47.265-04:00What an awesome new toy!

Really good ventilation is a must. The other issue is to be really careful of any dust produced when you do your final sanding ... those little bits of lead-based dust can collect along baseboards or between floor boards and be a hazard to young children who are at the crawl on the floor/play on the floor stage. Not to be alarmist, but we learned the hard way ... our son had a period of elevated lead levels when we were young parents/renovators ... no long term effects thank goodness, but it was a bit alarming.
