We just completed the removal of 6250 sq ft of masonry coating from a permanent art installation for the city of Atlanta and Fulton Co. 200 gallons of skin burning stripper and 8 days later we got it all off. My advice, if you ever get the opportunity to bid on an elastomeric coating removal job, DONT!

those are the worst jobs. $4 a foot makes it bearable though. We learned the hard way too. Lost money on the first one.
