I need to locate some information for stripping paint on the interior and exterior of a face brick wall. I would like to get an environmentally friendly stripper if possible.
Any suggestions? |

Check the MasterSpec section on brick masonry restoration; there are a number of options there. Not sure there are any "envionmentally friendly" products that would be really effective. Strippers are nasty stuff. |

Check out: http://www.franmar.com/
Franmar Chemical has a line of soy based strippers that can be used on anything from furniture restoration to concrete floors. I used it successfully on a historic restoration project involving several architectural elements such as cornices and painted architectural woodwork and specialty hardware. I've also used it personally around the house. |

Prosoco might have products, but these other 2 I'm pretty sure do: Diedrich Technologies, Inc. and American Building Restoration Products, Inc. |

Dayton Superior has a soy-based stripper, too, called "green bean clean", also a gel. |
