Like the title says, I am stripping 4 layers of paint off my bathroom window. It needs it, the paint is pealing a bit, and going for a total different look on the window.
I am using a heat gun, which works great, works just fine on removing all those layers of paint. I ran across an old painted over curtain brackett. A small one, that someone a long time ago, just painted over. I had to get that off. Cleaned out the screw heads, no dice on just unscrewing the screws. Which I knew anyway. They were in there very tight. Not wanting to screw up the molding. "What is a girl to do?"
I wondered if my heat gun would loosen the screws. So, put the heat on the brackett for just a minute, and tried it, they instantly started to unscrew! That worked! I was happy.
Saved the molding, and further frustration of trying to get that brackett off. I have 2 more to go.
Not sure if I heard that somewhere a long time ago, I don't remember. I was just glad it worked, and I can continue with my window.
So if anyone has a similiar problem, to what I have, and has a heat gun, try it! It worked for me.
