Hey Mikey
well the floors are shiney as hell and it’s litterally like plastic when I peak sections can’t be for sure but resembled a silicone base style sealer could be wrong

Oh yeah, I’ve seen that miserable stuff slopped around a grocery store bathroom. I threw everything available at it and use 380F vapor steam and could hardly budge it.
Wound up using methylene Chloride based paint stripper and a respirator. Might do okay with a soy paint stripper, certainly it’d be safer and not stinky.

work small areas treat it like a saltillo imo.

ive had some that require razor blades.

others come up in clumps like you show above.

zeps will work follow dilution ratios on back more chem isnt always better as water is what also makes stripper work.

i always work small sections and dont let product dry. usually have too go over an area 3 times
