I swear - there must be 10 layers of paint on our shutters.
Anyone know of a good product that will help remove the paint?
I remember an infomerical years ago for Q2B - any recommendations?
Thanks so much!

I've been using one for a bit of time now. Its an incredible tool.
The only downside is trying to take paint off when there's a bit of wind. It causes the paint to harden right away. |

It dries out the wood, but there are places that "dip strip" these things. |

# Scraping tools stay sharp significantly longer with this tool
# Low set-up cost, no blade changing, no clogging, and no vibrations
# Environmentally friendly

It works VERY well. And this comes from first hand experience of using it. |

Even painting shutters is a pain in the butt. Stripping them with all the angles and small strips must be really hard. I agree that dip stripping is the way to go. |

What do the usual suspect painting companies do with shutters? Just paint over the 10 layers?
Wondering if I need to worry about this before house gets painted this summer. |

Yes, in my experience, they do paint over, sanding only the most egregious spots. They start to look a bit clogged after nearly 100 years. (But stripping them seems way too labor-intensive.) |

Don't forget that dipping can eat away some of the animal fat based glues creating loose louvers and joints.I don't think there is any easy way to approach this project. |
