Stripping Paint Off Bricks

pstorey

Anyone had any past experience with this?
I was going to try the traditional Jasco and wirebrush method vs. the newer "Tough 2 Strip " products. Put one man on each and see whos gotten the most done in an hour.

Soda Blasting will be the safest & fastest method for removing paint from brick. Soda is soft and will not damage mortor joints and brick face

Did you bid it without knowing what to do?
I hope not!

Plazaman, do you know anyone in the bay area who offers sodablasting? ( I've asked this question before on these forums but haven't gotten an answer...)

Booger - I did not bid it yet and will not until I know the best way forward.
Being the guru that you are, what is your suggestion?

The only thing I've seen that works well is water/media blasting
