this was very cool. I just regrouted my flagstone patio. the job looks perfect except for the thin concrete layer all over from dry concrete sand mix. i will cut the acid with water sprat on and brush in then rinse. should work. thanks
Almost 14k views but no comments hmm. My main thought was if you reset the acid for each brick then it will cost a fortune for thousands of bricks you said you need to remove the mortar from. So I assume that was just to demonstrate to the viewers what to do with the solution after cleanings your bricks for the day?
That's a long process to "demortar" a lot of bricks. I'd probably just put them all in a large tub, pour the acid over it and let it set for a while to remove as much mortar possible..

Some vids get more comments than others. IDK why. :) But yes, this was primarily a demo, and fleshing out the process for myself.
I'm so curious how it went doing 1,000s of bricks this way. It seems like it would be so slow -- did you have a process that worked well?
It went well, but slow. I don't have the means to do a "bulk" cleaning, so this will be my process for the forseeable future. :)
Could you make a walkway with stained brick and then spray it with muriatic acid to make a design in it? Could be cool.
Now THAT'S a cool idea!
very interesting.......I've got 200 bricks that need that treatment, do I need to repeat that whole process 200 times?
:) Well...unless you have a large tub and maybe a mechanical brushing arm. I'd say it's just a tedious process.

Good idea.
