1st Job with MONKEY PADS

[Ron Lippold]

Well it went well worn floor 30 years plus. It does take some time but im happy. Cleaned with oxy blaster 175 floor machine and 50 pounds of weight 800 grit to 11,000. you really get the pop for the last step. IM happy.

I like these pads and i will be doing way more of these.
Thanks monkey guys

Looks great Ron. Can you say how much of an area it was and how long it took?. Though there's some lippage there doesn't appear to be much if any window paining, good plus. No grout in those joints ?

it was about 120 sq ft and we had right at 3 hours with more room it would have bee easierand less time consuming. Like i said 30 year old floor there was one tile broken and had been repaired. Out here we call that flush I have seem way worse lippage.

Nicely done ron!
Tips to get done faster
1. Work 4x4 area 30-45 seconds
2. Squeegee back to see if damage is gone
3. If yes, reapeat over whole area
If no, continue another 30-45 seconds and check
4. Once damage is gone, all grits from there up should be much faster
5. Softer stones take less time than harder stones
6. Most people over use them at first, after a few times you'll find that you can use them less with the same end result.
7. You did the right thing, better to over use them and do it once then to go too quickly and have to repeat steps
8. Rinse well between grits
9. Rinse pads after each use, shake out water and store in box

Good job!
After a bit of practice, that area should take one hour.
