How to remove dried paint from bricks?

 

Pain Removal

When dealing with brick cleaning, the toughest part is removing dried paint from brick and getting out the last bits that stubbornly stick in the crevices. There are brick cleaners available for removing paint, but only a few basic methods. The method you will incorporate to remove dried paint from brick will depend on the type of paint and how much elbow grease you're willing to invest.

1. Using a scraper blade

Simply scrap it off is the most common way to remove paint from your wall. Before you start, lay a cloth on the floor below the space on which you will work so that the removed paint flakes can be removed easily later. To remove any loose paint or dirt before scraping, wipe the concrete wall with a smooth cloth. Then wipe the concrete wall with a tissue before scraping to remove any loose paint or dirt. It will cut through any loose chips, making them fall from the wall. Keep following this procedure in each direction.

2. Use paint stripping agents

Brick clean specialists use few chemicals for paint removal.  These chemicals are two primary kinds: caustic-based strippers (CBS) and solvent-based strippers (SBS).Using chemicals properly is the fastest and simplest way to remove paint. First, the stripper softens the painted surface, which can then be scraped off readily or washed away with water.

3. Use heat application

Heat is also a popular way to remove paint from concrete. Make sure you cover your floor before starting the process, as stated in the first technique. To ensure a chemical-free wall surface to work on, wash the wall with clean water in this case. Then take your heat gun to a safe place to heat up. Once the weapon heats up, point it to the wall and maintain it away from it about 5 inches. Heat the surface of the wall until the paint begins bubbling. When it begins bubbling, you will need to scrape away the paint. The cloth on the ground will ensure a simple removal of lead paint.
