What, you ask, makes me so happy?
I took the recommendation of several blogs who used them and liked them. Jeanne at The House in Progress gives a very good review http://www.houseinprogress.net/archives/000108.html.
Clarke didn't think he would be able to make one like Dave at Ocean Manor House http://www.oceanmanorhouse.com/paintremover.html.
The cost of the product which was about 450.00 Canadian after exchange but what frightened me was the cost of getting it across the border. You never seem to tell what you are going to get charged. I certainly didn't want to be charged half of the product like I did with the electric paint remover. It is on the left. It cost about 100.00 Canadian with the exchange but I got charged 49.00 by UPS to get it across the border
It strips paint alright but I might as well had just kept at it with the heat gun. I found that it was easier to scorch the wood with it.
Finally I found a Canadian distributor and I ordered the Silent Paint Remover. Clarke used it around the kitchen windows and he thought it worked really well on flat surfaces. I used it on the back door and it worked well there as well. It is rather large and I haven't quite gotten used to manoeuvring it around the windows I am restoring so I feel more confident with just the heat gun. I really have to get some pictures of those windows.
I will keep you posted on my experiences with my new toy.

Fancy! Congratulations. Now you can go forth and remove paint. Sometimes I like to imagine that the owners of my house in 2058 will be wondering aloud to their friend why some idiot (:: pointing at myself ::) painted all the trim in the house. Although I'm fairly certain that NOTHING in my house will ever be coming back in style.
