External stone window sills had paint on already and had been sanded down. Bitumen paint applied over the top by mistake. What's the best way to remove the bitumen paint please?

I'd torch (

- Chemical Paint Strippers won't get into the brick's nooks and crannies, but they can be used for the bulk removal if desired. You'll need a Paste Stripper (
