  • How much does the public trust homemade electrical equipment as safe for use? Oceanmanorhouse's homemade models should be used at one's own risk. Does he know how hot the actual paint gets while he's using his Rube Goldberg model?

  • Lawssss, I would love to see your scientific citations for the safety of heat guns up to 1100 degrees NOT VAPORIZING LEAD IN PAINT. What licenses to you have for lead abatement and RRP certification?

  • Oh btw I know this is an old video but this is the way to go for a IR paint remover ... Just copy and paste the name below in google and its the first link with V:2 in it ...

  • @cbrooksecostrip Actually it IS SAFE to use Using a heat gun up to 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit .

    I am a Master G.C.and fully licensed to do all aspects of lead removal including supervising the removal of lead. on unrestricted Sq building and surfaces .

    1,100 is MOST States guidelines.

  • Ok I have a few comments to address . First off liseman that dyi heat gun should have aluminum ends that are 5-6 inches long attached on both ends so one , the gun does not get 2 close and burn the wood and two NO ONE can set it face down and start a fire .

  • Heat guns operate at 1000 degrees and vaporize lead in paint older than 1973. if this guy's homemade unit heats over 700, he's creating odorless lead vapors! If he used a bigger paint scraper he would be much more efficient. So much for homemade. Go with the pro ones -speedheater and stay safe.

  • Your dumb. Buy a heat gun.

  • I wanna see where he uses a paint scraper for a chisel, and heat gun as a space heater!
