I have a bit of a problem, that I'm hoping someone can give some advice on.

Anyone who owns Leedy temple blocks, knows how difficult it is to keep the paint from cracking and falling off, where you strike them.

My main question is-- how do you take the old paint off, safely?

Is it safe to use a hair dryer or heat gun, or will adding heat to the wood alter the pitch of the block?

Please someone?

Thanks
