Hope someone can help. Recently have our garage reroofed and althought the roofers did a good job they made a real mess inside the garage. The problem is that the concrete step from the garage into the kitchen has been covered in tar. I have tried to remove it using a scraper for the thick runs and petrol to remove what is left. Unfortunately this has left a black mess all over the step. What can I do now? I am quite happy painting the step (having been meaning to do that for some time) but am I right in thinking the paint won't adhere where the tar has been? Can I pretreat it or am I stuck with an unsightly step?
