Lead based paint was used on homes in New Zealand up until 1980 and is difficult and expensive to remove safely.
The Speedheater System™ offers a safe and inexpensive solution to lead based paint removal for the DIY market, a task which until now has generally been undertaken by professionals because of the hazards involved.
The Speedheater System™ uses infrared heat to remove paint from wood.
It operates at a much lower temperature than a heat gun (100-200c compared to 500-1000c) and at this temperature lead fumes are not released.
