TIL a $9 carbide scraper beat my $60 random orbit sander on old paint
Honestly I fought this for months, kept burning through sandpaper on a 1920s door in Cleveland, going through 5 or 6 discs a side and still leaving gummed up paint everywhere. Last week I finally grabbed a cheap carbide scraper from the hardware store on a whim and had the whole door stripped in 40 minutes, no discs, no dust cloud. The difference was the sander was just heating the old lead paint and smearing it instead of cutting it. Tbh I should have asked here sooner, is there any job where the sander still wins over the scraper for you guys?
