Best scraper for shed paint

Question

If I want to remove paint from a shed that is peeling, what’s the best type of scraper to use? The shed is wooden. Does it depend on the type of paint? Any suggestions as to what products/tools I should consider and where could I purchase these?

Hi,

Sorry for the late response.
First I would try to scrape the paint first with putty knife than if there is any crack you can use wood filler.. than sand it down to smooth finish after you can apply the new paint.

If timber is in good condition it could be best to use the heat gun to remove all paint. If the timber seems to be a bit worn out then soft wire brush should do the job, followed by the sand paper.

The best scraper for paint removal from wood is a shaving hook and then rub down with a good quality  grade sandpaper and paint with satin wood paint you can buy in all colours from brewers paint stores or any Dulux decorating centres

I would personally use a pulling type scraper rather than a push type as it will not dig in the wood & cause damage to the shed & wood..

Mark · Answer

Any metal scraper should be okay to use although if the scraper is very sharp you may find it will dig into the wood so need to take more care. Ideally you should scrape off the larger flaky bits then use a sander to do the rest. You could also use a pressure washer to remove the paint.

Just a good solid scraper will be sufficient. You can get one for just a few pound

Paul · Answer

Would use sandpaper as well as a scraper using a wire brush can help too but don’t use lots of pressure

Billy · Answer

Use a good rigid wallpaper scraper and a wire brush and some sand paper.

Karl · Answer

Any durable metal scraper will do the job, paired with a good wire brush to bring up stubborn patches. A heat gun is always a useful aid if you have one.

Paul · Answer

Any tough scraper should be ok for this job. A good sturdy one would be best
