How can you get tree sap off of a latex painted wall?

Try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser...these work for me on everything! We removed permanent marker from a white latex painted wall! :O)

With a little alcohol on a cloth, over your finger. Rub it - if color or paint comes off in any way, it's latex or acrylic paint (to be painted over with acrylic or acrylic latex paint).

Nail Polish Remover ;)

srub it hard it has relly hard to taket of

paint over it with the same color paint that you used to paint the rest of your bedroom wall

Yes, once the fixture is taken off the wall and spray painted they will look as good as new.

Try a mild solvent like Goof-Off or Goo-Gone.

Acetone is usually used to test if a paint is alkyd or latex, though rubbing alcohol will work as well. Use a Q-tip soaked in either acetone or rubbing alcohol on a surface painted by the paint. If it comes off, it's latex.

You can definitely use latex paint over epoxy. In fact, it is recommended to use latex over epoxy by the paint manufacturers, rather than using epoxy over epoxy. The latex adheres better and if you then want to use epoxy next time you paint, you have a nice coat of latex between the layers. If you use epoxy over epoxy, often the paint will just peel off in layers once some time passes (and sometimes…

By testing it with denatured alcohol. If the paint comes off on a rag soaked with the alcohol, then it is water based, If not, oil.

I have tried it in the past. It looked good at first, then after it dried. The latex peeled right off. Then I really sanded it down & tried again. seemed like the oil base sinks into the wood & the latex peeled again. Sorry but that was my disaster.

I use Mr. Clean Erasers - they do a great job.

just ask your wife ,she'll know what to do?

Latex is water-based paint, so take a very thin rag, put it over the edge of a putty knife and scrape very carefully. It should come off quite easily. Don't rush this job! Take your time and the latex should come off like butter. If the paint has a tenacious bond, use some denatured alcohol to slowly dissolve the latex paint. If the formica cabinets have been painted with latex paint and you want to…

Just because you painted your paint on the wall properly doesn't mean your neighbour did as well

Yes. Still follow the rule of "Never apply a coat of paint onto anything powdery or starting to flake off." If that is the case you will need to prep the surface first. Probably by sanding it.

All you have to do is : get a wet paper towel and then wipe the wall down gently and if it is rough then scratch it off

It is fresco painted on a wall and the paint flaked off the wall due to moisture and the type of paint used by Da Vinci. The monks also cut a door in the wall that was part of the painting.

Latex paint, when it dries, may be able to be peeled off provided it hasn't been baked into the fiber.

Keep it damp for a half hour or so and wipe it off after it softens. If it is a small spot, moisten the pad of a bandaid and stick it to the wall over the spot. Wipe, don't scrub.

Latex paint bodysuits are designed to be washed off easy. It is suggested that an undergarment is worn.

No, it won't. To remove it later, simply heat it with a hair dryer and it will come off easily without damaging the wall.

Hi there, Technically you can, but there may come a day where things starts to chip off. If you have the time, maybe it's better to take off the latex now. On the other hand, if the latex-over-oil was primed well (with shellac), it will hold, and painting oil over that will be OK too for at least 5 years. The oil will suck into the latex, and become matte and maybe blotchy. You can…
