Hi
I am about to have a go at stripping my staircase and back door back to the wood and have never done it before (or much diy at all!)
I have a heat gun, is there a set distance to have it away from the wood to prevent scorching?
Also I realise the paint coming off is going to be hot, whats the best thing to put on the floor to prevent burns on the carpet, is an old sheet ok or will the paint be dangerously hot and burn through it?
There is glass in the back door and I realise I will have to use stripper close to the glass, any advice? And same question really, what can I safely use to protect the floor?
Thanks in advance, I am really eager but scared of making some hideous disaster!
