I know this isn't softwashing, but anyone have any tips for removing latex paint from asphalt and brick? Acid and hot water? The customer is prepared to see the coating come off the asphalt. Thanks!

Have any of you guys used in tank heaters in your tanks to keep your mix at a warmer temp? I looked online and found an in tank heater that connects through the bung at the bottom, any thoughts? It's 110v so you'd need an inverter.
