I am trying to remove some oil paint that has been on brickwork for many years. I have tried a paint stripper and a blowtorch with no success. The paint is in streaks rather than a large area and the bricks have a rough finish.
Any ideas gratefully received.
I've had good results using a pressure washer with a sand-blasting attachment.
Very easy to use, but you do have to be careful to not overdo it and wear away too much brickwork.
I had never heard of a scabbler before but have looked it up. I think it will be too aggressive for the rustic bricks and take off most of the high points/waves. I think the sand blasting option will be a safer option.
Thanks for your help.
