Woodchip again

[Terry7556]

hi guys/gals
I have a house full of old woodchip to remove .i have done my searching son here and google and have an idea what methods I'm going to use e.g.
Perforate with paper tiger
Soak paper
Steamer
What I'm asking about this morning is the use of products like zinger dif to soak the paper with before removal
Is it a good product to use and if not are there alternatives?
Cheers in advance

perforate paper and use steam stripper works for me.

Hello boss white what do use to soak the paper?
Warm water and fairy or just water

 

[Bosswhite]

Just use the perforator and a Steam Stripper .

The steamer on it's own should be fine. Do an overlap pattern so that you are only stripping off half of the width of the streamer, and that'll give a longer time for the steamer to do it's work.

Ive never found a problem stripping woodchip thats been heavily painted because the top painted layer will split away leaving the bottom layer exposed to wetting by whatever method means available.
