Paint on stone mullions

[Mike P the 1st]

Nice windows with stone mullions, but previous decorators have splashed a multitude of colours around the edges next to the glass.

Any good tips on how to remove such paint. Probably all water based.

Brick acid ?

This stuff really does work. It's very user-friendly but a bit slow. Also very reasonably priced:

With a plastic scouring pad "paint remover" disk. Just watch not to catch the edges, as the disks are quite flimsy.

well they're OK if the surface is flat....

flapwheel on a drill/dremel if not?

Hmmmm.. nothing mechanical, or else the stone is going to look different forever. The paint is only 4-5mil wide in places. I did notice that the steamer lifted some of it as I removed wall paper .. wish I had not papered until it had been sorted now.
