REMOVING SANDTEX FROM MY BRICKWORK

[brady321]

Hey all

I have just bought a Victorian town house which has been painted in sandtex high build.

I want to remove and bring back the original brickwork.

Any ideas as to how I do this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Chemical paint strippers e.g. "Peel Away". Mechanical methods of removal like sandblasting apparently damage the bricks.

Good American article on the matter:
