Frequently asked questions
What is the Speedheater board scraper used for?
It strips paint from flat surfaces, from interior baseboards and trim to exterior clapboard and siding. The dual-use edges scrape under a clapboard with the shorter edge while scraping the flat board with the longer edges in one pass. Longtime painters recommend it for siding jobs, and the slightly curved blade edges suit uneven surfaces.
How do you scrape paint from wood siding with this tool?
Make sure the paint is properly heated first, then pull the scraper along the board. Lift and lower the scraper before each new stroke. The dual-edge blade scrapes the edge under a clapboard and the flat board beneath at the same time, which is what makes it quick on a whole wall of siding.
Can you sharpen the board scraper blade?
Yes. When re-sharpening, only sharpen the backside of the blade. Replacement blades are also available, so you can switch out the blade when it wears past sharpening instead of replacing the whole tool.
