Hello,
I have an older, cinder block home (40) years that has about 4 layers of paint on it. In the areas that have gotten direct sunlight, I can scrape the paint off with a scraper using no chemicals. In the shady areas, even with every stripper available at Lowes/HD, it's a bear getting it off.
If I remove all the loose paint, and want to stucco over the block, would applying a good bonding agent over the existing, non-peeling paint be sufficient? Or does the house have to be completely stripped?
If so, will muriatic acid be better than a bonafide paint stripper, or is there a brand of stripper that would be better than others?
Thanks in advance
Marc
