So, I went on the http://www.diynetwork.com
website to find the infrared tool that I saw on "Cool Tools" and here it is...

There's a video segment from the show which you may be able to watch...I can't because I need an IP blocker to view it in Mexico (and I don't have one).
I love stuff like this...on my wish list is a power caulking gun...uh huh, uh huh, oh yeah! Very Happy

:( Do you know how many chaulk jokes there are?

Ya gotta do a lot of chaulk ta be wanting a power chaulker!! :) don't get me started :face:

Yes I do...uh huh, uh huh, oh yeah!
But, if you know how to spell, it shouldn't be a problem for anyone. I've seen a lot of caulk in my nearly 60 years and done a lot of caulk jobs...and you can spell it anyway you want to.
Being menopausal, I have very little wrist strength left and find it very painful to use a regular caulking gun. So...I want a power caulking gun! New Doors - Page 2 501432

Ferret old girl...I LOVE my new toy! The infrared stripper is amazing. I took an 8 foot, 7 inch heavy duty crown moulding down to bare wood in and hour and a half. Probably won't take as long the next time. I couldn't find my "fancy" scrapers so I tried different spoons...worked great! and didn't cut into the wood. The heat loosens it and most of the paint comes off in long strips. This is actually going to be fun!
