Posts: 1 Location: Bargara Beach Registered: April 2008	REMOVING VERANDAH PAINT Posted 920 days ago The previous owner, of my home has painted the verandah timber floor a Pale Yellow. Now it looks shabby and ugly with worn patches. Can anyone suggest how I can remove this large area of Paint. I would prefer just to Oil it. Thank you from Granny Lady :)	0 0 Alert moderator

Wattsy Forum newbie - be nice! Posts: 12 Location: Goonellabah Registered: March 2009	RE: REMOVING VERANDAH PAINT Posted 909 days ago Ive just finished painting the entire outside of my house, and on advice from my father in law, who is a house painter, we burnt the old paint off. We used a hand held burner hooked up to a small gas bottle, held the flame about 15-20cm away from the paint so that it started to blister, then just pushed it off with a painters knife/scraper.... it comes off quite easily. Then we just gave it a sand and applied the new paint, or decking oil in your case. If you give this a go, make sure you have the hose on stand by, just in case!	0 0 Alert moderator
