stripping paint
I've been stripping paint from wood work (too cold to be in the garage so i'm decorating), now i need to strip the paint in the corners
.......... The plastic flexi disk and belt sander just can't get into the corners, any suggestions?
Did try some non toxic, non smelly paint stripper but it was useless.

Hot air gun and a scraper? Works for me...

Good old lethal Nitromors. Tis a bit nasty though... alternatively hot air gun/blow torch (careful!) and scraper.

Skarsten scrapers.
I use these a lot. They come with several blades and in different sizes. Not the cheapest but I've had mine years and still use them.
Some here
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

will a heat gun work though when its the corner of two or three bits of already stripped wood?
(basically its door frames where two or three all meet together)
Also what will it do to plaster?

If you're careless it will char bare wood - shouldn't do anything to plaster...
...anyway, to get back to Locosts - a hot air gun is REALLY good for dealing with heat-shrink tubing (all mine gets used for, these days.

Use Nitromors.Put plenty on, but let it do the work not you. Most people don't wait long enough and start scraping away before it has got to
work.
