I'm restoring badly abused antique hardware and I swear by his method. Save your time and money, this works.
I absolutely love this method. i hate working with chemical strippers. the only thing you need to make sure you do, is brush off the paint before the hardware cools. I take one piece out at a time, and brush each one before I remove the next piece. Also, since you're working with hot metal, using a plastic or nylon brush doesn't last very long. I used a soft brass brush. brass can't scratch brass. if you're working with hinges, or flat door plates, a plastic putting knife will work wonders. It won't melt because you can get everything off with a quick swipe.

We just removed all the hardware in our 1940's house, and put it in an old slow cooker with a splash of liquid laundry detergent - works well too! It's so nice to have clean hardware...they had a minimum of 3 layers of paint on them.
I’m currently remodeling a house built in the 40s. All the hinges have several oil based paint layers on them. I’m going to restore all of them for the client!
This method works great on latex paint, I don't use baking soda and I let it soak for at least 30 minutes. I use an old coffee can and fill it with boiling hot water.
I wish I could add photos because this worked so well, im restoring a 1030's kitchen dresser & the hinges & latches were covered in old paint. Your method worked so well & l didn't have to use paint stripper which was a bonus. Thank you
Wow... This was the first result in my search. I've lived in my place for 10yrs+ and it has all the "landlord specials" on all the hardware. I'm about to go buy a cheap pot at the second hand store and do this while I'm on vacation! Been hating my kitchen cabinets all these years and it's time to use your technique
I am kind of bothered by the fact they were using latex paint on the examples. Not the the 80 year old oil based paint that is much harder to get off. Those were new hinges too.
Thanks, this worked a treat ! I had sprayed brushed nickel cabinet hardware with black Hammerite. I used an old saucepan and simmered in bicarb soda for 40 minutes. I worked on them right away with a teaspoon to get the paint off. They needed a going over with one of those metal-look scouring balls and washing up liquid as there was a little gummy residue in places. Now they look exactly as they did before I ruined them !
Latex is easier than old lead paint but boiling still works just leave it in longer as needed. Also don't shy away from wore brushes when it is old paint on unfinished cast iron hardware.
@@smartgorilla depends on how many coats of paint are on the piece. I start out by heating the water up to temp on high and then turn it down to low for a half hour or so. After cleaning off whatever comes off you can always drop it back in for round two if necessary.
@@stephenhegarty thank you for the info. I bought a set of Victorian brass door furniture. It looks and feels amazing but it's got cracked black paint on it
That looked like a single application of latex coats, I have hinges with 5 or 6 layers of several coats at each layer and all oil based paint, will see if it's effective

So now that I boiled my door hinges with baking soda and then scrubbed with acetone. Does the boiling methode remove the grease in the door? I wonder if I need to lube the hinges back up, or if I need to reposition them because the door feels a little stiff? My thing is I bought a new door and had to rip it down to size and paint it but to save money I used the old hinges since I knew they already fit the groove cut out in the frame so I just made the groove in the new door. And maybe my hinges are placed slightly off? What do you think?

This is great for hardware but I have two painted twin brass beds that I’d like to remove the paint from. I can’t put them in boiling water. Is there a remover you can recommend?
I'd try a heat gun, after disassembling the bed, of course. Heat softens many types of paint (especially latex). It will also cause the metal to expand a bit, which will loosen the paint bond. If you suspect lead paint (you can test for it, but the test kits aren't 100% reliable), don't heat it too much or the lead will vaporize. Alternatively, Citristrip is a non-toxic paint stripper that works well and is easy to use. Remember that although Citristip is safe, the paint residue may contain lead, so dispose of it responsibly. Use plastic or nylon scrapers because brass is soft and scratches easily. Good luck!
Just keep that water rolling! The hottest the better keep the heat coming keep the powder pourin then Scrub with acetone afterwards and they will be PERFECT! however if you boiled hinges or something that needs to move you will probably have to re apply lube again because they may be stiff or squeaky.
Did you succeed? BTW Dalia I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. Link in my about tab.
What about for 112 year old home with layers of paint on the original hinges? I'm painting stripping the entire room now. Also people painted layers over the gorgeous original wood.😭
Your town should have a HazMat advisor you should ask. Dumping into waterways or your yard isn't a good idea. I read the soil beside old houses' driveways is badly polluted with lead from leaded gas fumes. Apparently it doesn't leave the soil.
@@FrankRemley Glass jars, lidded glass jars (jam/jelly, pickles, etc). If your wait window isn't years, a plastic jar that seals well will also do (peanut butter, mayo, etc). Just make sure you label it, should you forget what's in it. I either write on them w/a Sharpie, or stick on masking tape and write on that.
And, stay off Houze. They paint brick, woodwork, appliances, tile, walls, ceilings…..everything white! It’s especially popular now to paint light oak cabinets white because they’re “dated”. You’ll never get the white paint iff deep pored oak. It’s really sad!
@@tharais I actually Go in and send Hours upon Hours Removing Paint from Fireplaces, and Cabinets with more then 80% success rate. Its a very long process. have to use paint stripper, and alot of Dentist tools picking out paint from in little cracks..
Go longer or bigger diameter screw if possible. And while you're at it switch from crappy slot or phillips to robertson screws. For some hardware like window lifts you can fill the old holes with wood filler then attach it elsewhere nearby after repainting the sash.
No old pan hanging around the house? Put your items in a tin can with baking soda, boil plenty of water, fill tin can with boiling water til items are covered and then put the can into what hot water remains in the pot to prolong the heat in the can.
Could this be done with a relatively small, single-socket bathroom ceiling light fixture if the wiring's removed (to later be replaced)? It's original and brass I think - in a 1916 house - and has an upside-down bell shaped canopy (that touches the ceiling) then below that it has one or two little loops like links in a chain (the hanger loop) then below that is the brass socket. Most of the paint has come off the brass socket from the (unfortunate) constant moisture in the air, and the two layers of paint on the canopy have been slowly peeling off from all that humidity so that it looks awful. I imagine the paint should come off easily. But I doubt I can put the whole thing in boiling water eh? Not sure I'm skilled enough to take it apart and boil only some parts.
I'm not an expert. Maybe a cotton swab dipped in solvent like acetone? BTW Alec I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. Link in my about tab.
Boiled 2 year old interior acrylic new construction painted hinges for 20-25 minutes with extra baking soda. Only a very thin layer of paint peeled off. Did not work at all for me.
PLEASE HELP!! My dear friend and customer has doors on the sunny side we live in Florida by the way that are peeling off the door the doors are great he wanted to replace him I said no. How do I get the paint that won't peel off, off the doors. Also advise on prepping doors do that the paint adheres for many years. [He's prepared to buy new ones I said no. The cost to install exterior doors is ridiculous]
The least expensive way would be to use a chemical remover, such as Citristrip, which is safe and works well, in my experience stripping furniture and working on my 150yo house. Be sure to take the doors off the hinges and lay them flat so the remover doesn't run. If Citristrip doesn't work, there are other paint strippers that might work, but some are very toxic and not sold in all states. Some of these contain dichloromethane, also called methylene chloride. Some of the strongest ones are labelled marine strippers. Read the label and follow the instructions carefully. If you don't want to use a chemical stripper, you could try a heat gun or an infrared (IR) heat stripper, but be careful because they can both scorch the wood and start fires. (I know someone who burned down his house using a heat gun to strip paint.) IR paint strippers appear to work well, but are crazy expensive. Glad you're saving those doors. It'll be worth it in the end.
The advice is that new doors will do the same in a few years, so not worth the money doing so. Use genuine oil based enamel paint once they've had the old paint stripped off. Latex enamels are junk that peel off in 2 years on my south facing windows, and I'm in NH so can't imagine the paint failure rate in FL.
Doesnt work on well done pre surfaced prep stuff or old fire axes. Okay for fixed on stuff that wasnt done right in the first place. Not to mention they're oil based.
I wonder who the dip was in each and every one of these cases "Oh yeah, this hardware is so ugly let me cover it with this glossy latex paint that'll look great!"
I reckon there were multiple coats of paint put on that hardware. First a white paint, then a colored paint. Would be a crazy amazing product to have two colors!
@@jbratt It long and ends up covering many topics. But I suggest watch from part 1 onward at least all the parts where the globe versus flat topic is discussed.

Uh just soak it in citri strip gel from Home Depot in a Tupperware container for a day or two with the lid closed. Then scrub with steel or plastic (if your worried about scratches) wool under warm water in the sink. Then you don't have to use heat. Smh
@@mckevrock Not so sure about that. It’s not that expensive. I have striped 4 doors and all my trim work in my 1910 1000’ sq/ft home and it worked brilliantly. On the doors and trim work I applied the citri strip gel then the thin rolled plastic and let it soak for a day. Then it would tak like three of the 6 or 9 layers of paint off. As for the hardware that was painted on it was easy. Just soak in Tupperwarefor a day. Point is people that are willing to do this are desperate for a solution and would likely not have an issue with $15 for the gel. Just offering a solution that I know works. God speed man. Live renovations!
I hired a painter who had amazing references. He left paint all over my door knobs and hinges. I'm handicapped. I am unable to do this. I guess I have to live with this unsightly mess. A big thank you to all the people that gave this clown great references. I'm posting everywhere I can to warn other people not to hire him. Hopefully, he will be out of business soon, along with his false references.

@@mckevrock Not so sure about that. It’s not that expensive. I have striped 4 doors and all my trim work in my 1910 1000’ sq/ft home and it worked brilliantly. On the doors and trim work I applied the citri strip gel then the thin rolled plastic and let it soak for a day. Then it would tak like three of the 6 or 9 layers of paint off. As for the hardware that was painted on it was easy. Just soak in Tupperwarefor a day. Point is people that are willing to do this are desperate for a solution and would likely not have an issue with $15 for the gel. Just offering a solution that I know works. God speed man. Live renovations!
How to remove textured wall paint
I hired a painter who had amazing references. He left paint all over my door knobs and hinges. I'm handicapped. I am unable to do this. I guess I have to live with this unsightly mess. A big thank you to all the people that gave this clown great references. I'm posting everywhere I can to warn other people not to hire him. Hopefully, he will be out of business soon, along with his false references.
Trouble is so much effort into something that ends up being worn out once it’s clean enough to actually check it out.
I put baking soda in my hot tub and my wife's clothes fell off.😁
