Would this work to remove latex paint off a concrete porch? I've used a pressure washer and it has removed some of the paint, but is taking too long.

Hi, we used this product on a concrete slab but were unsuccessful due to the texture of the slab being rough and not smooth. It did lift the paint but not all, which left lots to chisel off painstakingly. I gave up. I would not recommend the Soy Gel product for this kind of job. When we built on our screen porch we had a stamped concrete company do a design on it and they used a pressure washer to remove the old paint. That worked very well. I'm saving the Soy Gel for smooth surfaces.

Yes it would help. We used it to remove a cement paint on our basement floor. I quite sure it was a latex paint. Sorry it took so long to respond.

I have had no problem with it removing paint. Sometimes when removing it a little will stick, but you just use the piece you removed to blot it and it comes right up.

We did not have luck using this product on our vinyl siding. We ended up hiring someone to power wash the house. Keep in mind, we could not reach the areas and it does not a slight scrub to clean. It is not just spray on and rinse off and all your dirt goes away , I'm afraid.

Short answer - no. This sprayer is designed for dispersing foam and cleaning product over your car or large areas. Then following up with hand wash and sponging or mopping. This will not spray and clean like a pressure washer. Hope that helps. �

I painted a house with latex house paint and it did fine. I used a half cup of water per canister because the paint was not penetrating the shake shingle siding. But the first canister was used unthined and it worked well.Ron

It's really a finishing sander. To remove several layers of paint I would use a chemical stripper first and then sand well before repainting.

I have not had to but since this is an oil based paint marker I'd be willing to bet paint remover would do it. Might also be able to use Nail polish remover. Just need to be careful as both of these chemicals may damage the thing you painted especially plastics.

As for anything like that I would spray a bleach and water solution, then the pressure washer will work!

My best guess is yes. If the paint is older it may take longer than is breaks up latex paint. I used it on wood painted50 years ago and at least 4 paint layers. It took the first two off fast. I reapplied it and it seemed to take 2-3x longer but it worked. If you use it i'd recommend a plastic brush vs metal as to not scratch up the metal. On wood i scraped it to bare wood.

It will neutralize what's in the air and on the paint surface fairly well. If there is still some smell inside the paint or the wall it might come back, though. It'll probably do fine with latex but oil-based might take longer. If fumes got into things like carpets or furniture it will get that. So...no guarantees, but usually will knock it down and out of other items. Some oil-base or polyurethane takes a few weeks for the 'oily' smell to go.

This power washer like many could strip paint off a variety of surfaces. But it's up to the user to take car so that doesn't happen. Choosing the correct spray tip and keeping the tip at the correct distance away from the surface your spraying so damage will not occur.

I used this product on my concrete driveway. The product removes caulk well, not sure about paint.

I actually bought it for plastic Paint. This was the first Gun they use in Dipyourcar YouTube videos before he made his own company so I think it should work best outta any other guns that push latex paint threw it

I think it would work well but I haven't used it for paint removal. It heats up quickly and has two heat settings. Not a very good answer I know. I use it to soften resin on my sculptures before gluing and I love it.

I don't know that you could apply enough pressure with this to consider it scrubbing. I think it is designed to be a duster, not a scrubber. I would also think paint could be removed if you use water.

The short answer is...no...it will indeed remove the paint but it is not a substitute for scrapingIf I were to do the barn my first "tool" would be a power washer, used with care it does a fine job of removing 90% of that old paintand you can check the for hire at the box stores and get some one to do it for you!
