Wonder how this will do on those solid stains?
Remember who posted this first.
Seem's this tool could keep some people working in the cooler states.
Maybe even do some furniture stripping in the off season.
Very fast and can strip 10 coats of paint off in 30 seconds.
no mask,no gloves,no resperator,no EPA, no run off,no dead plants.
no more cold lunch's lol

i just read up on it and watched [vidio] and it seems to work very well.
I would try and rent one before i invested my $400.
 
Here's an interesting portion of their advertising campaign:

Why not use other methods of paint removal?

Paint stripping with lye (Potassium or Sodium Hydroxide).
How does it affect exterior wood siding?

Lye is used in the paper pulp industry for separating wood due to its ability to dissolve lignin, the substance that holds the fibers of the wood together. On wood siding: this method softens the wood and makes it pliable and the resin, which is wood's natural protection against moisture and rot, is to a large extent removed. The wood surface also takes on hairline cracks that draw in moisture. The most serious problem is that lye gets into the capillaries in the wood, where it dries and forms salts that draw in moisture. When enough moisture has been drawn in, the salts seep out and break down the new paint layers and emerge on the surface in the form of a white powdery substance.


Solvents.

Generally speaking, removing paint using solvents will not damage the wood; there will be a certain amount of leaching of resin, but not to any great extent. The problem is that different types of paint usually come loose one at a time and must be scraped off one by one using new coats of solvent, which is why such an approach often requires great amounts of solvent. It is very important to clean the surface thoroughly after stripping the paint, eliminating any solvent residue that impairs adhesion of new layers of paint.


They're placing Sodium Hydroxide/Potassium Hydroxide in the same category as Sodium Hypochlorite.

Any thoughts on this???

Or is everyone just thinking uh oh....;)

Perhaps the main point is the neutralization, more than the initial process?
