How can I best scrape striated wood siding?

share

I have striated cedar siding which has flaking paint. It is a devil to scrape. I wondered if there is a special tool or trick to help with this?

  1. Check with your local paint store or Home Depot, there are many types of scrapers that you might try… hint: try scraping across the grain instead of with the grain… also use coarse grade sand paper and a block of wood to block sand the surfaces…

  2. Scraping across the grain of striated shingles will ruin the ridges of shingles. Use a wire brush stroking the grain in the same direction. Also try a wire wheel attached to your drill. Make sure you run the wheel in the same direction as the striations!
