Anti-Graffiti Vigilantes tackle tags on one of Rhode Island’s beautiful natural resources.

Great news! After the airing of our work on PBS NewsHour, we received many positive comments. Even better- we were told about a product that actually might work on graffiti. We were skeptical since we have tried many unsucessfully. Rock is too porous. We contacted the maker and they were kind enough to send us a sample jar. We were so excited that we braved cold and windy weather to try it. We used a brush to gob on the stuff on some white graffiti, then waited not very long, about 10 minutes (the instructions say 30-40 minutes), and rinsed it with a wetted paint brush. (The instructions say you may need a power-washer). Imagine what results we could have if we’d followed the directions! So here's a preview of what's to come when we do it properly in warmer weather. Stay tuned!
