Burn off Stripping is an extremely effective and cost
saving process of removing exiting coatings, and debris from metal
surfaces. This process can not be used on any items that cannot withstand
800 degrees. The process involves placing metal parts into an oven, and
slowly heating them to approximately 800 degrees for approximately 2 hours.
After they have cooled, they are blasted with abrasive media to remove all
the ash This dramatically cuts down the amount of time that blasting would
take depending on how many coats of paint or other coatings exist or how
intricate the parts are, such as wrought iron patio sets. Most items with
existing paint will need to be both burned and blasted. This process is
very safe and not harmful to most metal structures. The burning process
itself will not damage the metal, but on extremely old pieces, such as
wrought iron or very intricate pieces, the burning process will reveal
cracks or imperfections that many layers of old paint have been hiding.
