This is a break room I did yesterday that I do 3 times a year. The equipment I use is a kiavac 1750, 17” floor machine with conditioning pads, and a flat mop. I spray the floor with water and top scrub the poor layers of finish down to a good layer. To apply the finish I use a microfiber flat mop. I pour finish straight from the bottle and spread. No mop and bucket. With high and low spots it will look splotchy but will not be noticeable after the finish is applied. Sometimes it might take 2 maybe 3 coats of finish. It depends on how much you have to remove. When I’m done applying finish I keep the flat mop in a trash bag to keep it fresh. This break room is 1340 sq ft @ .60 sq ft. So one coat is all I do. It takes me about 5 hrs. with moving tables and all. When scrubbing the floor it is more like a wet sanding than making a slurry when using stripper solution. You don’t want it to dry but if it does it dries to a powdery film which can be wiped off. You cannot do that when using a stripper solution you would have to re-apply.

Yup. Unless they want a full-on strip and refinish. I use a similar process for my customers.

You’re using an spp?

Yes that’s what I use. I get them from Jon Don. They have the 3M surface prep pads in the 14”x20” square scrub pads. The pads I use are called conditioning pads (same type of pad) but less expensive. I use the 17” with a 175.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Right I use them. I do with a tank on the 175.
Use it with square scrub on the edges. .65 per ft.? You’re not in Oklahoma.

[Kenny Hayes]

Why, it’s easier than pushing a wand

Worse part might be pulling a trailer.

We usually use a truck for that.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Auto scrubber or two, all the hand tools, 175’s, square scrubs, mops, buckets, fans blah, blah, blah

 

[Kenny Hayes]

And by the way, go ahead and do the carpets while your at it. Also, all the tile too in all the restrooms. Can you do the windows? Yes

Brings in more money this way.

If you have to explain a joke, its no longer funny. Must be some short guys on this board cause these fine jokes just go right over your head.

 

[FB7777]

perhaps an explanation dilutes the impact of the “humor”

Kindly explain anyways
