Dried Acrylic paint
« on: January 06, 2015, 04:34:37 pm »
I'm going to look at an acrylic paint spill that is 2weeks old and has completely dried up.
What would be the best approach to take? And what's the chances of removing it all?

Thanks

Gary

try some citrus gel or POG but be careful with the later and hot rinse

Cheers bud, didn't know if I needed something more hardcore to break the crustyness of the dried paint.

Colins suggestions may work if not then get some safe paint stripper. This is stripper which does not affect plastics so its used on fibreglass boats etc. This safer to use than normal paint stripper. Dab on only as much as is required to soften the paint. Scrape off as much as you with a blunt scraper then extract. Doing a little at a time is preferable to trying to shift it all at once.
