I have been removing the paint from our concrete cills. The majority of the paint was peeling anyway - I count 7 layers and mostly it peels away with elbow grease. Been using a blunt chisel and a wall paper scraper, then a once over with a wire brush on a drill.
However, not confident upstairs will be as easy - won't be able to get the same pressure on chisel or access.
1) Any suggestions on a tool or different method? Or just carry on with the elbow grease?
2) The surface is dry and not flakey. I am planning on just Sandtex masonry paint (as I have some) and no sealer. I do have a Sandtex sealer for dusty masonry but as the surface is neither, I think skip it. Agree?
