Thanks Ken

some painters use putty in blemishes, knots in wood ect, same as panel beater uses bog, would ask for photo to help determin but will be without access to computer for a while, only have access at work at present time, try lower heat, maybe a bit more force with scraper, its hard to tell without knowing size of problem, by your post of many layers i would asume lead as many layers indicates age and in old days lead was considered safe, so at this stage i can realy only recomend, persistance, determination and then some more persistance
you mention recessed panel is the goo in corners/joins? if it is i will go putty try wipe a small section with mineral turps it may soften putty to scrape without heat, but make sure its clean again if it does not before applying heat

Stuck to my guns and beat the Bastards 

after many years of fighting the insurance company, iv'e finally won my rights, and the pay out is within sight, years of saying workers compensation, where is it, never gave up but came bloody close at times

congrats on ya pay rise Ken, looking good on both sides of the globe

nearly forgot the last gooie, simple old window putty, slows down the job but i dont think it's a baddie?

sticky goo most likely lead based paint, use mask but pull back heat gun dont let it get over hot will still get sticky go slow so as not to oose the stickey into grain again use mask
if its a realy old window it may be calcimite paint which also gets sticky same instructions, this sort of paint would be powdery finish
one more thing gooie could also mean its just too hot/ heat gun to close to working surface paint realy only needs to get hot enough to start to blister as i mentioned before pactice makes perfect

alternative use citrus based paint stripper but thats pretty expensive

i must correct myself the show was about baboons not monkeys, they some how worked out how to short out the fence?

yep, you certainly need to moniter moisture for that reason

too much moisture = too much heat no matter what hay, staw lucerene,

i think, but not certain, that the electric fence thing has been tried in africa, didn't work to well apes were smart enough to get through remember watching a program about it on ABC or SBS, in fact i think thats where i got the idea of useing carnavore poo, except in the program they were useing lion, i'm glad monkey/apes are not here, bloody kangaroos are enough of a challenge

I must admit i'm happy in my donga, cant see the need for this
