Reciprocating sander, rotary wire brush and nine kinds of scraping. The
scary part is that the REMAINING paint is pretty likely to start the peeling
and flaking very soon. There's a product by Pittsburgh Paint which sure can
save a bunch of grief . . It's "Rez Permanizer Plus" It's purpose is to
seal down the paint remaining after diligent sanding/scraping to prevent
future flaking/peeling. It's a clear undercoat made to be topcoated with
water-based stains or paints. I did a flaky, peeling fence with it 3 years
ago and there's nary a peel sofar. It's over 30 bucks a gallon but an
'elluvadeal if you hate scraping like I hate scraping.
