How to Soften Paint With a Propane Torch
- 1). Position a propane torch near the paint. Press the red button to ignite the electric propane torch. Put on gloves and hold the torch with your dominant hand.
- 2). Move the torch back and forth over the paint. Hold the torch a few inches from the paint and move it across the area from side to side over all of the paint. Continue in the same manner until the paint begins to loosen.
- 3). Turn off the torch. Scrape off the paint with a paint scraper using your non-dominant hand after it is loosened with the propane torch. Turn the torch back on and begin heating up the area once again to soften the paint.
- 4). Scrape off the paint and turn the torch back on when necessary to loosen any more paint that is stuck to the metal.
