I have a client that wants paint removed from a stone fireplace.
River rock with 1-2 inch mortared grout joints. Sand blasting maybe?
Seems like getting it off the mortar will be the hardest part. Any ideas for
removing. Thanks.

The original PeelAway formulation - makes burn marks on wood, but a client had GREAT success on exterior painted brick - many bizzare colors.
