Have a customer requesting Cabot Sealer. Have heard of it but have never used it. Any tricks or suggestions for using it? Or does it behave about the same as anything else out there when applying it? Thanks!

A customer just had a tile floor installed in her kitchen. The contractors used her back porch to cut the tile. They got reddish-pink tile dust all over her light colored brick (Muriatic or Oxacylic to clean??) And spilled mortar on the brick steps and then it rained and now she has...

Am currently working a bid for a T.V. station and they want a silicone sealer applied after it is cleaned. It's a 3 story textured concrete building. Any suggestion on where to find this stuff in bulk? The one gallon cans I can get my hands on will just not be all that fun opening and...

O.K., I'm back to asking the experts again... We just did a deck, the main reason she had it done was because her dogs (3 little Beagles) were chipping the finish with their claws as they walked from the back door out to the yard. The deck had house paint on it and it was chipping everywhere...

I have a house to go look at later this week. She said she had "Asbestos Shingles" and when she had them painted last year the painter told her to have them Pressure Washed twice a year. (But he does not do the washing himself) I have not looked at this house yet, but is this maybe just...

I need some advice.....by the way, I have been without my computer for the past three weeks and I really missed this board. Glad to be back online...anyway, had one of my guys do a deck all on his own....he has done many decks with me and does well as long as he listens to me. The deck I went...

OK, I have tried to get help from the people at D**** since they sold me this pile of scrap but I am here now for help. I have a "Ramteq" RK-31, Hot/Cold Washer, with a General TS2021 Pump. The machine has only 76 hours on it (less than 4 months old). The engine oil and filter have been...

O.K. Here's the story... We are working on this house that has 5 decks plus a dock... (we are also doing the house and sealing the drive and detailing the boat) The owner is over 200 miles away. This is her weekend/summer home bat the beach. She had some additions made on 2 of her decks...

I am doing the 2nd deck in a month that was treated with Behr clear/natural only last summer. The first deck turned dark brown and glazed over with a shine before "peeling" off...very odd I thought...that was not so bad cleaning. This other one the Behr turned dark brown and is being the...

I have Wolman's certification... I like what I have seen of their products... I have heard and read nothing but good things about them... I cannot purchase it locally!! I called Wolman's, they will not sell to us directly, but they gave me a list of 9 or 10 dealers, and none of them...

I have a bid on a deck. They are not certain what the contractor who built it last year applied. But the finish is nearly gone except for some very small patches on part of the rails. It is slick and shiny with a mirror like reflection. The color of old school desk with a nice poly-urethane...

Just in case anyone's interested! http://www.consumerreports.org/Special/Samples/Reports/0106dec1.html

Kind if a question...kind of a "WoW...Check this out!" type posting. I have a truck down (since last Thursday) and it's hurting, especially since my Ramteq is kinda attached to the truck! So today I broke down and bought an additional little machine. Went to Home Depot and grabbed the...

I am currently paying $20.50/gal. for Oxacylic, but my supplier is checking on a cheaper rate by the 5 gal pail if available. Is this about average? Or is it available cheaper? I currently get it thru an Automotive Detail Supplier. Have not been able to find the liquid locally. There...

I am working on a bid for a residential customer. They have a deck and some furniture that has a solid stain....not certain what it is but it has a pink tint to it. That called it opaque...the deck is standard pressure treated pine but the benches are Teak. They want the stain gone and put...

Thompson's has a great marketing campaign! I just had me second customer in 2 days with a real nice deck request Thompson's...Happened a few times last year...One guy insisted...and thats what he ended up with (He's having me re-do it this year with the good stuff) But usually after explaining...

I enjoy doing decks...I get a thrill out of seeing the wood coming alive again and having the customers get so excited that the deck they paid thousands for looks like it did years ago.... But the one thing I can not get over....the one thing I hate even more than washing a second story of a...
