KMS Woodworks on Jun 11, 2012bigger hammer....once you bust it loose you may want to sand away the ridges of paint that will remain...then touch up the spot with some new paint. So I'm sure everyone else has this same question in the backs of their minds....how did this roller happen to left there in the first place....and then why has it taken over a decade to "fix".Helpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Jun 11, 2012You can use a floor scraper tool, or a very stiff putty knife. Depending upon the type of paint it is, there are solvents made to soften the finish. Even a little paint stripper will work. Just be careful that little ones or critters do not step into this when its wet or it will burn their feet.Helpful Reply

Carroll A on Jun 15, 2012Susan S you crack me up!!!!! I would try Krud Kutter first it takes paint off anything, you can get it almost everywhere. It will take the finish off what ever you have on the floor though. If that did not work, but it will, I would use a heat gun on LOW to soften up the paint and scrape it off. But I tell you Krud Kutter will do it. It even took dried hot pink fingernail polish out of the bedroom carpet and did not discolor it, can't even tell it happened.Helpful Reply

Susan S on Jun 15, 2012@Mary O. - well after this lengthy conversation from everyone - you will let us know how it turns out, WON'T YOU??? Didn't mean to offend if I sounded a tad doubtful about the authenticity of your plight but we didn't hear anything more from you and it's been there for 11 years so . . . . . @Carroll A - ya know - I've been told that b 4!! I might start believing I'm a real 'NUTCASE"!! :~) lolHelpful Reply

Bill on Jun 19, 2012Try using a heat gun or hair dryer set on high to soften the paint before using a suitable scraper or putty knife. Once the bulk of it's off then try some liquid solvents to lift off the rest. Sometimes hot soapy water and a wire brush will get the rest if it's latex.Helpful Reply
