[Bee Busy]

Here are some pics where we stripped off 15 years of Mop N Glow on slate, rinsed and color enhanced

Never mind...posting pics on this site is always a headache

 

[Mikey P]

and yet you can strip off 15 years of mopNglow



everyone has their strong suits..





How hard is it to create a free Photobucket account?

 

[Bee Busy]

lol...you need to make this site more user/computer idiot friendly for us Neanderthals...I post this stuff on Dirtygrout.com and Facebook all the time...I don't understand photobucket

use Imgur.com. You don't even need to sign up, you can dump pictures and use the links to post pics.

I would add one little thing that may plague some folks when trying to post pics by uploading from their computer.

Sometimes when I want to post a pic from my computer, the upload from computer popup is messed up, it looks like this:

This always happens when I choose quick reply. Never been able to figure out why, I'm sure it's something in my IE settings.

The trick (for me) is to click on the "Go Advanced" button:

When I post pics from the advanced screen, the popup is always OK:

Thanks for posting Shane...did you get the color enhanced pics? Those were the final results

 

[Bee Busy]

Here are the color enhanced pics, I think I figured how to post pics now

Really nice work! Did you scrape/brush it all off by hand? I see a 175 in one picture... did you use that to strip or apply to enhancer?

If you used the 175 to help strip what did you use? Brush, pad? What type? What product did you use to remove the Mop n Glo build up?

What product and method did you use to apply the enhancer? Does the enhancer also seal/protect the slate too?

Thanks for taking the time to explain your work a little more.

Again, great job. Very impressed.

Thanks Bill. First we taped everything off with blue tape and gorilla tape, stripped by hand with Jasco stripping gel followed with Afterwash with rags and handbrushes and groutbrushes. It's very important to wear a full faced respirator, long sleeved shirts and gloves, the Jasco gel burns skin and breathing Meth Chloride is very bad for respiratory. After stripping by hand we scrubbed the remaining residue off with floor stripper and the 175 with a Malish grit brush, then truckmount rinsed. Let the slate dry out for 3 days and then sealed with a solvent color enhancer by hand with sponges. The enhancer is a good protecting sealer.

We have used the new intensfia from drytreat on a few jobs now.

I like it a lot.

P.S. nice work!

Holly shiznits!
That is a total pain in the butt of a job.... Hope you did well on it. It looks great

 

[Mikey P]

Damn.. You're nuts.


Fess up, how much a foot?

 

[knoxclean]

Is there a safer product to strip that off?

 

[Mikey P]

Soy Gel stripper but it's real slow.


Slop down, cover in plastic and come back the next day and do it again type slow

 

[hogjowl]

He capitalized "Afterwash", so is it an actual product?

 

[Bee Busy]

$5 a foot Mike...it was 325 sq ft, around $150 in chems/materials. Afterwash is a thin solvent that has to be used as a followup to clean up the gel residue, you can use laquer thinner as well but I haven't tried that yet

I think this is the stuff, Marty:
