NOTE: That should read Scraper plane, not Acraoper plane.
I saw a video on youtube where someone was using a scraper plane to remove paint from a board about five feet long.
Would a scraper plane be a good idea if I need to remove paint from a douglas fir table (I think it is doug fir, could be pine) where the table top is made up of about eight pieces of 2X4 joined together?
Or would a scraper plane leave the surface too rough to clean up with a number 3 plane (I also have a number 4 plane but it needs some TLC)
The table top is just about 3 and 1/2 feet square, so looking at around 12 square feet of planing.
I think there is only one or two coats of paint on there (of the same color) and although I am not a paint expert, I would guess it is latex based (but what do I know?) :blink:
If worse comes to worse, I COULD use my random orbital sander, but I would prefer not to just because of the noise and the mess.
thank you in advance for your suggestions.
