You use them after the hammer and before the polyurathane. It takes the last layer off the brick that doesn't want to come off. You use an acid brush, with a long poll, to apply it. Foams up like an 8th grade foaming volcano science project, then you have to rinse it with fresh water a couple of times. Saves time and looks great. Don't forget the gloves or to finish it with poly either. Todd :-) http://baltimorerowhouse.blogspot.com/2008/01/more-brick-stripping-fun.html Muriatic or floric.

I have been working on it for 8 years, with alot of help. I appreciate the nice comments, and will take the criticism of the "home made" porch in the constructively critical way, that I am sure it is meant. I would say that the whole place probably has a bit of a "home made" feel to it, because much of the work was done by me, or my sister, or mother, or friends. The things I am most proud of are the kitchen that offers 18ft of stainless steel counter space and 10x20k btu burners, the marble bathroom and 80 gallon tub in the master bath, and the new decks on the back and roof with great views of the basilica of Catholic U, the National Cathedral, and even the washington monument. As you probably can tell, I am pretty proud of what I have done with the place, and would be happy to share any knowledge I have gained on the way (like don't take your walls to exposed brick with floric acid after you have laid your brand new oak hardwood floors). If you'd like to take a look stop over some time. Todd of 3551 LOL, I am shocked and flattered to see my house up as the house of the day. I have been working on it for 8 years, with alot of help.
