Furno F100
The Heat Gun heats up the surface and causes the paint to soften, at which time it can be
scraped off easily without damaging the surface. Some paints may soften even though
they do not blister; some may become rubbery, and some may require higher heat.
When working with several layers of paint, it speeds up the scraping process to heat the
surface thoroughly, all the way to the wood. Then all the layers can be scraped at one time.
A soft wire brush may be the best tool to use for very intricate surfaces. Mineral paints
and finishes, such as cement paint and porcelain, do not soften with heat, so using a
heating tool will not work for paint removal.
The best method of paint removal
Move the Heat Gun slowly and steadily forward at an angle to the surface, pointing the
nozzle in the direction of motion. This allows you to scrape safely outside the hot air
stream and keeps the scraper and the scraped surface cooler.
A. Warm air preheats the surface.
B. Paint is softened by hot air.
A + B. Deep penetration of heat over total area.
C. Paint can be easily scraped off as soon as it is
softened and the gun is moved forward.
D. Stripped surface allowed to cool.
Shrink film
Wind heat-shrink plastic film around the object. Start heating the film from a safe
distance while keeping the heat gun moving. Move the heat gun closer to the film until
the film starts to shrink and becomes taut.
Shrink hose
This is commonly used to shrink the hose around electrical connections or to soften a
plastic hose that needs to be bent at a specific point.
Embossing
If you are using the heat gun for embossing, you can remove excess powder with a clean,
dry brush. Hold the nozzle of the heat gun approx. 8 cm away from the work surface. To
prevent the paper from getting too hot, move the nozzle in a circular motion until the
powder lifts and turns glossy.
Once you have sealed one area, turn the heat gun off and place the heat gun upright on
the fold-out pedestal while you are preparing another area with powder.
