How do I remove paint on wrought iron balconies?
the wrought iron balconies are very ornate because of its curly cues. In another area on the balcony the wrought iron has split. Is this a welding procedure and do I need to get a professional welder?

You can try Citristrip. And yes, I would get a welder to repair just for safety reasons.
Hi Arlene. Years ago I did my iron gates. They trusted and had designs.
May husband gave me a wire brush on his drill for removing paint. It worked like a charm removing the crevices.
Good luck with your project.
Arlene, we live in CA, you know how litigious this state is. People sue at the drop of a hat. Protect yourself by hiring a licensed welder. This is a balcony, don't unnecessarily open yourself up for unwanted liability. Here is how to hire a contractor:
