Skid marks on epoxy?

[Russ T.]

Large factory had a forklift peel out and leave some skid marks. Can I handle this with a 175? What chemistry? What pad?

Thanks guys!

3M Surface Prep Pads (brown with SPP printed on it)

Chemical: water

You da man Lee! Thank you!

Would you use the same pads for general cleaning, if I can talk these clowns into some regular, routine maintenance?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Too agressive for regular cleaning in most cases, but made for preparing a VCT floor for adding finish without using chemical strippers.

Turn them inside out and scoot on the pad like a dog on carpet.

Update Russ?

I bought a box of the SPP's from a local janitorial supply last week. The manager at this plant had an emergency come up so I haven't seen the epoxy yet, first hand.

I did use the SPP on some VCT on Sunday night. I attempted to strip the finish, using only the pads and a neutral floor cleaner, as their product description suggests. I had hoped for more. There's a ton of old finish that I can't seem to get off, and the SPP couldn't do it.

I'll update when I get a chance to see that epoxy. Thanks for checking in Lee.

I use them on recurring accounts that used to be stripped often, restaurants, factory break rooms and the like. Seldom on 1at time accounts with old buildup.

SPPs will load up if not using a shower feed on your buffer. Turn them over and rinse them out well.
