So I gave my sandstone patio a couple of coats of swiss-seal which came up lovely. I then went and rendered a little raised flower bed with some sto render. Right on the last stretch of render a gust of wind took me dust sheet across the paving and got the white render splattered all over the place.
I thought, "It's okay the flags are protected by the sealant, I'll simply jet wash it off.". It didn't come out. Gutted!
I was thinking maybe strip the sealant away which would get rid of the white stains sat on it and just reseal after. Question is can I strip the sealant. Is there a product that'll do it or a process I can run through?
Any help would be much appreciated gents.

Wouldn't it be eaiser to 'dissolve' the render with repeated applications of a careful accid wash?
If the sealant has been propperly applied, it should protect the paving against the acid, while leaving the render exposed to its effects.

I'll give it a go. It's a polymer based render but if you reckon it's worth a go then that's good enough for me.
Cheers mate

Thought as we are on the subject of spelling, i see you used the word "while". Is that correct, or...In standard British English and Australian English, whilst, as a conjunction, is synonymous with although, whereas, but or while. Unlike whilst, while is also used as a noun (as in "rest for a while") or a verb (as in "while away the hours"). The usage of whilst is chiefly British. No nor me :laugh:
