Stripping paint off Bricks
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

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
