The fascia boards on my single story home are in serious need of
paint. They need to be scraped and scraped :-/ In reading I found
out about "Infrared heat (radiant heat) for paint removal".

I found a site where the guy built his own "infrared paint remover".
**

So, are "infrared tubes" and "quartz tubes" one in the same?

Don't know about about your question or that device. I do know that
heat is an effective way to remove paint. I have a heat gun with a
digital readout, allows you to select any temp you want, lots of
control. Link:

Scroll up my link a bit. He used three guns at once. After 30 years he
abandoned them for infrared. Click the red house he stripped with
three guns.

Yes. All quartz tubes are infrared heaters, but not all infrared heaters
are quartz tubes. If it glows ed, it will give off infrared. Think SUN.

Am I correct this heater is infrared/quartz tubes?*

I can cannibalize it, if so. I would spend $75.00 and build a one
pound unit.

A real unit cost $400.00 and weighs over four pounds. Online rental
requires a full cost deposit of $400.00, but only $25.00 a day rental;
excluding shipping days.
