Folks - I am repainting my home's exterior and was looking for any wisdom on how to cleanup - after washing - the loose paint on the clapboards, which are rough side out. My carbide scraper seems to damage the wood, and isn't getting the slightly loose paint off. It's an older home, so in addition to being rough side out, some of the claps are a bit concave. Hard straight blades don't seem to be my friend here.
Compressed air seems to do better than the scraper, but hard to do on a medium amount of rough areas. Angle grinder with nylon flap disc does better still, but a bit too aggressive. I don't need all the paint removed, just the stuff that isn't well stuck on.
Anyone with some tips/recommendations on this? I have grinders aplenty, and also a 5" hood and loop right angle sander (older PC brand). Much appreciated.
