Speedheater Cobra | Ultra-Fast Infrared Paint Remover

Strip Decades of Paint in Seconds—Without Chemicals, Dust, or Surface Damage

Forget messy chemical strippers, dangerous high-heat guns, and hours of dusty sanding. The Speedheater Cobra utilizes advanced Swedish infrared technology to soften paint, varnish, and hardened putty at the molecular level—allowing you to scrape surfaces clean down to the bare wood in seconds.

The Speedheater Cobra is a compact, lightweight infrared (IR) tool for efficient and easy paint removal on interiors, exteriors, windows, furniture, and various types of joinery and woodworking. It is especially effective on tight, angled, and detailed surfaces like window sashes, moldings, curved surfaces, and banisters. The Cobra’s gentle IR technology softens paint, varnish, and putty in just 1 to 5 seconds of contact time, allowing for effortless removal without chemicals.


Why the Cobra Outperforms Traditional Methods

  • Softens Paint in 3–5 Seconds: Strips up to 75% faster than standard heat guns, saving you massive amounts of labor time on every job.

  • The infrared radiation doesn’t just soften paint, it also works on putty, varnish, glue, etc.
  • Safe for Delicate Wood & Glass: Operates at low, controlled temperatures (400–600°F), eliminating the risk of scorching historic wood or cracking glass panes.

  • Lead-Safe Paint Removal: Keeps temperatures below the point where toxic lead fumes release, creating a cleaner, safer workspace for you and your clients.

  • Reaches Tight Angles & Moldings: Featuring a compact 3″ x 3″ heating head, the Cobra maneuvers effortlessly into tight corners, detailed carvings, and intricate trim.

  • Zero Waiting Time: Leaves a dry, smooth substrate with no sticky chemical residue—meaning you can repaint or refinish immediately.


Engineered for Every Restoration Application

Whether you are restoring historic architecture or updating modern fixtures, the Speedheater Cobra is built to handle:

  • Historic Windows: Soften rock-hard glazing putty and frame paint without cracking glass.

  • Architectural Trim & Spindles: Cleanly strip detailed moldings, stair railings, and porch balusters.

  • Furniture & Antiques: Gently lift layers of varnish and lacquer from delicate wood carvings.
