How is it w/ using indoors on window moldings? Above the window is ornate wood carving, what type of instrument can be used to remove the paint.

I'm not sure how it would do on window moldings. I used it on fireplace brick. It worked really good on brick. I used a scraper and wire brush to remove it. Hope that helps somewhat.

I would recommend it. It worked well indoors. Use a scraper to remove the paint--metal as its a bit more sturdy. This was quite effective and not nearly as noxious as the chemical paint remover

I've used plaster, and wood putty, as well as polymer clay and resin, and every one of them came out just fine. If the mold would have an easily accessible place to remove the item being molded, it will most likely work just fine. The only issue I had with the quick-set rubber was that it could be stiffer than others and eventually break. If you're only making one copy, you'll be fine. More than 10 copies if it's intricate, you may have a problem. Other silicone rubbers might do a better job for the more intricate items if you're making multiples, but otherwise you'll be fine.

You can take a cutoff grinder to follow the outline of the inside margin of the door and the flue. It's makes a lot of noise. Also you can get a heavy duty tin snips to cut it. There is also a reciprocating saw you might try or a jig saw you can use.

No, there is no glass covering over the carving. There are various stores that you could go to that sell custom cut glass. There is a "ledge" around the design that could hold the glass in place.

what a great idea. Had not used my paints for about a week, paints were moist, but noticed mold was growing on my cad red!Thanks for a great tip.

For glass you can scrape it with a razor, for paint I am not sure. Maybe using rubbing then polishing compound would do it.

I bought a chalk pencil and outlined where the window and other bits go on the mat and then cut it with scissors. Simple stuff. Hope this helps.

I'm no authority on stained glass windows; however, this is more of a small area electronic board soldering station with very small tips. It does control the temperature (in degrees centigrade) but my gut feel is that it would not work fast enough with these tips unless you were talking about small art work projects. Maybe stained glass up to the size of an 8" X 10" picture frame etc.

It would project it THROUGH the window unless you put some paper on the opposite side to the one you are painting. But that's a fairly easy fix, I'd think. Another alternative that I personally would find to be awesome is to get the glass sandblasted. The frosted glass would take the outline projection perfectly, and you could use that as an element in your work by leaving some of the frosted portions unpainted. It would also make it much less likely that the paint would peel later. I could understand why that wouldn't be practical for a lot of the projects you might try but sounds kinda cool right? Edit: I see Pam there beat me to the paper idea. So I'll see you paper and raise you 3020 Liquid Masking Film 32 oz here on Amazon. Paint it on the opposite side, project, trace... and then when you don't need it anymore, peel it off like cling film.

Sandblasting a door would probably be the best way to remove old paint, it will get it down to the grain rather quickly and you won't disfigure the frame. If you sand blast it, you will think it's never been painted before. You can get a blast tank at Harbor Freight on sale for under a hundred dollars. You will need a good compressor, at least a 60 gallon. I would recommend getting a Two Stage compressor like an Ingersoll Rand as they will last a long time and have plenty of power for all types of air tool applications. They are pricey, about $1000. Or just pay someone else to sand blast the door for you, probably $80. If the door is off the hinges this will scrape it down, but anything 3D will be problematic. If you hit a nail or a screw in the door it will chip the blade and leave a high trail where the chip is. The only other way to do something like this would be to get a wire brush for a drill or angle grinder. A Cubic Zirconium Flop Disc isn't too bad either, they are about $13, they would shred any paint off but they are going to leave spirals in the wood. I've seen guys use a Heat Gun and a Scraper to heat the paint and just scrape it off too. Good Luck with your project.

Lauren; I'm no expert but, I take photo's of my wood carvings and things to sell like firearm collection's which are shiny, and tricky. First, try the available lighting that you have and look up on "you Tube" for an endless videos, & how to ? also These lamps are OK you really can get creative by watching the Video's of others and look at the # of past Viewers, saves Time. Also Adorama.com is the Largest Dealer in NYC and fast. It's Fun once you learn how light & shadows work ! ex. One was Photographing a Crystal Glass and using a shadow box, (look that up) by putting a light underneath this glass, all the detail came alive.

It looks like a window screen on a thin sponge. You can you can use it with a solvent or alone and it does wonder.

I too use the sander indoors and have found it to be very effective at dust collection. Most of my sanding is done with a fine grit paper for prepping wood for wood carving. Although the sander can be used with a small shop vacuum, I have not found that necessary for my use.

I love this little machine, but maybe not the best choice for what it sounds like you are trying to do. As others have said, it would be real easy to over sand and ruin the profile of moldings. To remove paint from molding, I would probably use a heat gun and detail scraper. I think that will give you better ability to remove paint without damaging the profile. Additionally, if the paint is thick, the small sandpaper pads this uses will load up quickly and you will go through a lot of them.

I used this sander to refinish furniture, and I've been very pleased with it. I would think it would take mold off of molding. I am not sure about sanding a wall directly...?

I have used mine on an inside window...because it is "open" I don't think it would do well being scraped.

I have used this resin in silicone molds and plastic containers and jewelry molds and added confetti and decorations ie charms, stickers, sprinkles etc. I don't quite understand how you work with canvas mixed media, or what you would pour it into to mold the shape, but the resin is excellent quality. It works best when the room temp is a tad warm, you should open a window for ventilation. Be very careful to mix EQUAL parts stir slowly ! and for about 5 minutes scraping the sides, wooden popsicles sticks and plastic colored shot glasses from the dollar store work great to stir the resin, as you have to constantly throw them away after mixing so they are affordable and economical. Use wax paper for your work area, the resin can damage furniture or counter top. If there are any bubble after you pour simply take a straw and blow gently thru it over the resin and they will be gone. Hope this helps. I have used this resin for quite a long time with great results. I usually buy it at my local craft store with the 50 percent off coupon and it is really economical, not sure I can mention the name of said craft store, but you can buy plenty with the 50 % off, I do it weekly and sometimes print 2 and take a friend and print 2 more and visit another store. EasyCast also sells jewelry molds that I have used for making crafts ( I own a business) with this resin instead of jewelry, they are a bit hard to get out of plastic molds, you DO NOT need to buy mold release. It takes 24 hours for the resin to dry don't touch it and as mentioned before be careful to mix equal parts. If you put your mold in the freezer for 10 min or so the shapes pop right out. Hope this helps. PS do not attempt to buy candy molds for this resin the results will be very disappointing. Use silicone molds or jewelry molds. As stated jewelry molds are a lot harder to get the region out of but 10 min in the freezer and they pop out.
