Remove Brass Plaque from Brick Wall?
I bought a nice brass plaque to give our house a "name" and it has drawn lots of attention (we get people taking selfies of themselves next to it). When it came time to install it, I made a fateful decision and after drilling the four holes for the screws into the brick, I first put a good amount of Liquid Nails in each hole. Flash forward a few years and the plaque (which has a lifetime warranty) is now corroded to the point of almost being an eyesore. Does anyone have any good ideas on a way to get this out? One contractor I talked to said it's in there forever. Another one suggested cutting the sides of the bricks just enough to get one of those multi-tool cutters under the sides to cut the screws off and then, with the plaque off, drilling out the remains. Sounds like it would be a mess. submitted by /u/pcserenity [link] [comments]
