    Tools to scratch off paint from cinder block
    Hi folks, I am a brand new user of this web-site. My question for you is that what tools I should use to scratch off the paint from cinder blocks and walls? The basement cinder blocks and walls got some mold and smells, I want to re-paint the whole thing. Thanks. ;)
