Has anyone tried this product on concrete? I'm trying to remove years of paint from a concrete porch. Thanks!

I used it on old painted brick and it came off completely! Be sure and cover it with plastic bags for about 3 days so it doesn't dry out and I have no doubt it will work.

I put on the colored coat and added the flakes before it dried. then I added the clear epoxy. I think in order to do a 2nd coat of clear epoxy you need to do it quickly or you have to sand the surface for it to stick. I don't see any benefit to the flakes. just decorative. there is a phone number on the product to call the manufacturer. I will tell you if you do it right, this coating is almost impossible to mess up. I make natural soap and it has had lye on it and has not shown any effect. but the key is to do it right. if your concrete has any moisture in it, the coating will not stick. my concrete was very wet and I had to put fans on it to dry for a week. you have to do the moisture test to see if your concrete is dry. this stuff is the best! .

Odormute makes a HUGE amount of liquid product. Mix it up according to the directions on the box, pour it liberally on the concrete, and cover it with plastic for 4 hours so the enzymes can work a good amount of time. Then take the plastic off and let it dry (or put a fan on to speed it up). It will still stink until the concrete is totally dry, and then the smell will be gone like magic. It's truly amazing. DON'T clean the concrete with other products first, because then the enzymes might not work. If there is a lot of uric acid crystals from a truly horrendous buildup, go ahead and mop that off with plain water before treating it.

Pretty tricky question. I'll answer it best with another question or two. IS the concrete a "smooth" surface or is it textured? I ask this because the Soygel works best on smooth surfaces - as would most paint removers. The nooks and crannies will make the removal more difficult. I just used the Soygel on a similar job - stone. The paint coating on it was heavy and thick. I had to use a thick coat which I let really set in, then used my drill with a rotary wire head. This got off allot of the paint, but I had to do it a 2nd time to get the rest off. So, depending on the amount of coats and how thick they are, will determine the amount of coverage you can get from a quart. For my application - which I will be completing over the next week, I estimate I will need a full quart to remove an area of 54 sq. ft. Remember, I will also be using multiple wire heads on my drill to get this job done. If you decide to follow this route, use tarps on anything painted that you went to keep painted.

We used this product to clean fertilizer/soil stains from a flagstone patio. It worked extremely well. Almost completely eradicated the stains. Pavers are less porous than flagstone so it seems reasonable you would get good results with Rusterizer.

This product is excellent for removing dried grout. I would suspect the it would also remove epoxy paint unless it is very old.

I've only used this tape on canvas, but I think since most concrete is porous I think a tight seal would be difficult.I suggest a test try first. I have had some failures with this tape, but it worked better than other tapes I've tried.I also have had reasonable results with just plain masking tape which is cheaper and more easily available.

I tried the spray, and it has not lasted that long. So I think I would go brush on next time. You really need several coats I think, because what looks covered may still have enough porosity for the humidity to get behind and rust. Also, this stuff reallt smells, so I'd take it outside next time.

It may work better on concrete rather than wood - which is what I had. However the risk you are running is that you spend a lot of money and time (as I did) only to have to rip the whole stuff up again. I'd try another product if I were you.

Probably. Just rinse the are really well with clear water and blot out as much as you can before your spray. This stuff is really incredible. It took the smell out of a spot on concrete that nothing else would touch!!

I use Watertite for many art projects, more than for any industrial purposes. I do know this paint will stick to metal pretty good, cleaning tools, as it does scrape off,but not easily. I don't know how well this paint will hold up in the transition in temperature between concrete and metal, as both expand and contract at different rates. I can only imagine you will expirience cracking where they meet. I guess that's where chalk comes in! But This stuff is pretty good. It has a nice natural quality, not to mention its psi value, like as in ideas for ponds. Eg an exposed copper pipe, or galvanized pipe. This product is a bit pricey for experimenting ,but it is good for any masonry inside or out that you want whitened, as in masonry porch posts, or porch walls, and or especially basements, and will be quickly used up, if you find that your experiment fails. By the way you can tint it, or even thicken it into a paste, using white Portland cement. It may not address your question, but Watertite does work well on auto body resin (bondo) I like that it is sandable, and is excellent for repairing concrete statuary, leaving repairs,patches,and replacements virtually invisible and marble like when polished, with bees wax, or car wax. Good luck JC

Sorry it took me so long to get email. I think it would possibly remove rust off concrete. I would wet it down then apply iron out. let it sit.

This product works best on clean concrete or concrete block surfaces. If you read the instructions it suggests wire brushing off any paint from your surface. What is drywall paint, on drywall or concrete surface. It won't work on drywall. I used it on concrete blocks and it penetrated completely to the outside, even through the bricks too. On my perimeter skirt wall on a manufactured home which was pit set below ground level two courses of concrete block with Dry-Lok on the outside. It formed a white crusty surface that appeared as though salt dried there. It can be brushed off and it became water proof as well. GREAT Product! Dry as a desert down there now. Good luck.

I have used it on the concrete subflooring of the bottom floor of my house as well as the concrete flooring in the garage. I have been totally impressed at how well the odor is removed. Takes a few applications, but has worked well for me on many occasions.

I've never used it on concrete... But I have used it on small projects that I've put outdoors and it holds well with rain.

I have only use this product on in-door tile. I don't know how it would work on exterior concrete. Please consider that your concrete in probably much more porous than sealed tiles.

I have been experimenting with painting over concrete furniture. It seems, in my experience, to have a long curing time, but once it has lost its tack, it seems really sturdy. I like it a lot. This is only experimental, I am using for art purposes, rather than what it is typically intended.
