THE REMOVAL OF ROAD PAINT USING CHEMICAL AND MECHANICAL METHODS

METHODS OF REMOVING ROAD PAINT ARE DISCUSSED. CHEMICAL STRIPPERS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ONLY SUITABLE FOR SMALL-SCALE JOBS, SINCE THEY ARE VERY LABORIOUS TO USE. MECHANICAL MEANS ARE MORE EFFECTIVE. A SANDBLASTING MACHINE IS SUITABLE FOR MOST SURFACES AND A SURFACE GRINDER MAINLY FOR VERY SMOOTH SURFACES. LARGE SCALE SURFACE AREAS COULD BE MOST EFFICIENTLY COVERED UP BY SURFACE DRESSING.
