should work fine...as long as the wall brick has a baked-in color and not a painted surface.

I was able to remove mine from my office wall without a problem. It didn't appear to damage the existing paint or leave residue.

It will work on almost any surface but brick poses a problem because of its texture. It would require a stiff brush (but not a wire brush). It would need a little longer to soak into the droppings before brushing and would have to be rinsed with either a hose or by splashing water on the affected area to assure rinsing in the texture of the brick. It may also require more than one application because of the texture. If the brick has a very deep texture, it may not work effectively because you may not be able to sufficiently scrub it with the brush. I purchase it by the gallon. If you have any doubts, purchase a smaller quantity to start with. Remember, however, it can also be used to clean up spills on upholstery and carpeting. I've used it on coffee, mustard and ketchup, among other things. It has a pleasant scent so the odor won't be a problem.

I used this to paint a magnetic road on my sons' bedroom wall. I glued magnets to Matchbox cars. It works very well.The big caveat is that it takes A LOT of coats. I put on 6-7 coats before a small magnet would stick well. For alphabet magnets, I would think 3-4 coats might be called for. The result looks like a chalkboard. The information online suggests it's hard to use, but I didn't think so at all, I just applied it with a regular paintbrush and then immediately went over the brush strokes with a foam paint brush to smooth out lines. It wasn't hard or unpleasant at all.Overall, I would recommend it for a magnetic chalkboard. I used this to paint a magnetic road on my sons' bedroom wall. I glued magnets to Matchbox cars.

Absolutely, works very well, except when the previous owner painted on the popcorn ceiling over wallpaper. Just wet a small area at a time though. The tool works really well otherwise!

Sure do! I did, and it looks great. Just dip in water for a few seconds, let it sit for I think a couple minutes, then apply it to a clean wall. Sticks very reliably. Mine still looks great after 5 weeks. Ill try to post a pic of mine.

I watched the employee demonstrate and then attempted it. I had a huge mud stain in my living room on white carpet, and it just made it lighter. She stain is still there. So I don't think it works very well. And not to mention that you have to disassemble the entire thing to get an attachment to work.

To begin with, I have not used this to salvage brick. That said, it might come in handy now and again, but I think your tool of choice would be a rotor hammer. I recently removed the brick from a garage and down a retaining wall. I used a chisel bit with the tool set to impact only and broke them loose while a friend lifted them down and stacked them. It went very fast! You can then go back and remove the mortar from the bricks with the rotor hammer, or you can use a hammer and traditional chisel to knock it loose. The ease of the operation will depend much on how well the mortar is stuck to the bricks. On our project we lost relatively few of the bricks. To begin with, I have not used this to salvage brick.

I used it successfully with water based stain. I have not used it with paint.

I applied mine to a recently plastered (week before) and then painted (4 days before) wall. It stuck fine, until I came to readjust them and it ripped off the paint and even some of the plaster. I would not recommend these at all. I really wish I'd just put a hook up.

Forget the paint stripper. It's dangerous stuff, plus that will take forever. And it's expensive.This blisters the paint quickly and it comes right off with a putty knife. I much prefer using this method over paint stripper. It's easy and much, much faster.One important piece of advice: really old paint has lead in it. I stripped a lot of paint off an old house long ago before I knew any better and didn't use a respirator or make sure I had good ventilation.

Spunky, I used my Stihl back pack sprayer. Used a ration of one Spray and Forget to 2 of water in the sprayer. Do not expect this product to produce immediate results. My house is all brick except the sofitts which are vinyl clad. Brick on my terrace looked terrible as did some of the sofitts and I sprayed both. At first I thought I had wasted my money but after a couple of good showers I started to see the how well it really did work. It has probably been about two to three years since my first application. Still looks good.

My experience was indoor use. I used it to cover some gaps around an older window frame.This product appears to be nothing more than clear packing tap. I applied it in the fall and when I removed it in the spring, it took off most of the paint around the window frame. Not what I thought was going to happen.

The adhesive is pretty strong. If you were to try to remove this product, you would probably lift some of any underlying paint, depending on the quality and age of that paint. But, I don't think it would do any serious damage to the wall. I did a test piece on a wall with a decent paint job, and I was able to remove with no damage at all.

Yes, I've used it many times...works great.After the paint is applied, I use a blow dryer, which expedites the process

I used this with dry-walnut-media to clean/polish brass, it took over 24 hours each time, and wasn't always successful - when I tried to clean steel pieces using "black beauty" sandblast-grit, if I overfilled with sand the motor couldn't keep up (sand is heavy, each drum was 5 lbs at least - more than it's rated for) I wanted to clean larger batches than this was built for... When it did work (small batches), it created a very nice polish

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.
