Fair enough, 20yrs since I last used a conventional heat gun and probably scorched the bejesus out of the skirting boards of my first flat, vowed then ‘never again’. Kind of hoped the infrared type might have progressed a bit, further investigation required.

I’ve got one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Speedstripper-Infrared-Paint-Stripper-/124291718137?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292
I’ve not used the cobra unit to compare but it works well enough and didn’t damage the wood.

I haven't, no. While I'm happy stripping paint off bike frames, I leave decorating to the professionals. Happily a good friend is a painter and decorator, so I leave that sort of thing to him.
