All around windows/doors, or a splatter here and there? The thicker portions may pull of like a length of rope. I dealt with the problem around wood windows with limestone siding. I didn't contemplate trying to remove it from the limestone, as it was too rough, irregular and tough work. I cut back as well as I could and put new caulk and paint out to edge of the old to clean up appearance-wise. If the brick is smoothe enough, it might turn out well enough if you cut back, with sharp scraper or razor, to level it out. |
