Embodiment Construction

[0016] Referring to the Figures, and most particularly to FIGS. 1 and 4, the present invention includes a powered surface preparation tool 20 and kit 22 including the tool 20, a conventional paint brush 24, and a paint softening chemical 26. In the preferred practice of the present invention, the brush 24 is used to apply the chemical 26 and the tool 20 is used to remove paint oxides and loose paint and feather the edges between bare substrate and well-secured old paint on the substrate. As used herein “substrate” refers to the surface previously coated or to be coated with paint or a similar protective coating material. An optional pre-treatment step is to remove loose peeling and chipped paint with a conventional putty knife or paint scraper. The tool 20 is preferably electrically powered, and utilizes an abrasive disk 28, which may be similar to a bristle disc available from the 3M Industrial Business, 900 Bush Avenue, St. Paul, Minn. 55106, as a 4.5″ or 6″ bristle disc, UPC No. ...

Abstract

A paint preparation tool, kit and method for preparing a previously coated surface by optionally mechanically removing loose coating material separated from the surface, applying a softening chemical to soften margin areas of the previously applied coating, and using a powered tool to rotate an abrasive disk against the surface to remove debris, dirt and oxides and to feather the edges of the remaining previously applied coating, where the abrasive disk may have a plurality of abrasive-impregnated elastomeric fingers extending generally perpendicularly from a disk-shaped support surface of the disk.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] A number of approaches to preparing previously coated surfaces for painting or staining are known. Typically paint is the coating to be removed, and as used herein, “paint” is to be understood to refer to any coating similar or identical to paint to be addressed in the process of preparing a surface for recoating, again typically using paint. Specifically, one other coating included within the meaning of “paint” as used herein is stain. [0002] Among the prior art paint removal approaches are powered devices such as a heat gun (for use with a putty knife or scraper), an infrared heat source sold under the name “Silent Paint Remover,” a rotary cutter sold under the name “Paint Shaver,” a rotary grinder sold under the name “Power Paint Remover.” In addition to powered products, manual products and processes have been known, such as carbide scrapers, chemical paint strippers, powered washers using a water stream of 1500 to 4000 psi at 2 to 4 GPM (with ...
