Stripping paint

[Bigjay73]

Need to strip the paint off of a decent sized deck. Currently has enamel paint, what's the quickest way? I'm down for anything

Pressure washer. 4500 psi washer with 15* nozzle should lift it right off.

This! Just be careful and adjust pressure as needed. Real fine line between stripping paint and damaging wood.

There's no real way to adjust pressure except lowering engine RPM. Run the washer wide open as it's designed. Increase or decrease the applied pressure by varying the distance to the surface. Do not let it hit your feet. It will blow through leather boots in a nano second.

Most pressure washers will adjust. Different tips are available also. I just stripped my redwood deck with a pressure washer. mtmuley
