We could try the pressure washer, but I kinda doubt it will be able to handle the more recalcitrant spots.

There's a variety of rotary brushes that can be chucked into a drill, of course. A regular metal drill brush might scuff up the glass, but perhaps a brass brush wouldn't? There's also nylon drill brushes that might do the trick. Ditto for paint stripping discs for an angle grinder. I think there's some scraping tools for the oscillating multi-tools as well.

I believe latex paints are typically susceptible to heat guns and chemical paint strippers as well, of course...

I cleared the edges of about 1.1 out of 3 windows. Some parts did come off fairly easily but most did not and several areas were so difficult it's unreasonable to do more than a bit with a hand tool.

I ended up getting slightly better manual scrapers from the tool library but we really need a power tool. At least I'm personally unwilling to do more of this without one. Does anyone know which tool would be appropriate? The tool library did not have such a tool.

Hi sudoers!

We had an unfortunate incident with the new protective coating on our roof where the roof windows got coated as well. It's some latex type substance and CCL tells us it isn't too difficult to get off.

Is anyone up for helping with a couple of hours of scraping tomorrow (Saturday) from 3 pm to 5 pm?

I'll bring scrapers and we'll lay down some 2x4s across the windows so people be in danger of falling through the glass.
