Rules of Removal: Chemical Paint Stripping and Historic Masonry

 In restoration cleaning of historic masonry, you usually know based on contaminants and building fabric what kind of cleaner will be effective on a dirty building. You’ll use one type of restoration cleaner for atmospheric staining, and another for biological soiling. You’ll have an idea, going in, what kind of restoration cleaner to at least try. Not having that kind of information, in my experience, is what makes paint removal from historic – or just old – masonry the most challenging branch of restoration cleaning.

On most paint-removal projects you go in knowing something about the building. You usually know how old it is. You often know the substrate. And that’s about it.
