Removing stubborn, old mastic from brick wall

What’s the secret to removing this old glue where cabinets once were? I’ve tried pressure washing, angle grinder, wire wheel and at best it’ll knock off a little of the texture and just kinda smear it into the brick. You can see the smudges here and there. There much more glue than what’s pictured and a few years back I added some wooden, lattice like coverage but I’m ready to take that down too and clean it up for good. Any ideas? Please and thanks! submitted by /u/tcaz [link] [comments]
