2 Using a construction dryer
Sometimes it is effective to use a construction hairdryer. Then the painted surface is heated by small sections. From the effects of high temperatures, the paint is gradually deformed: swollen, covered with bubbles and peeling. At this moment you need to carefully remove the coating with a scraper, without ceasing to heat the surface of the adjacent area.

3 with solvent
The chemical method involves the use of a chemical solvent that softens the old paint. The tool is applied to a small area, and some time when bubbles and cracks appear on the coating, remove the paint with a scraper or metal brush. This method is suitable for cleansing local areas. Therefore, solvents are usually packaged in packaging no more than 1 liter. It is important to remember that it is necessary to work with chemicals only in well-ventilated rooms. Purified surfaces are necessarily washed with water and do not begin to paint until they dry.
