Hello Mo!

Back from the emerald isle.

What is your game plan on the oil and 100 000 sqm of cleaning?

Rob

[chris scott]

Solvent stripping and relaying the worst....

[Rob_Mac]

Nameless

The Thor I have has a larger inlet and is only supplied by one hose from the tank but it is 1 inch, the H & M has two 22mm inlets.

Chris

Have you got the whole 100 000 sqm?

Rob

[chris scott]

There is 2 small towns to seal...the staining relates to approx 5% of the area. Kebab oil,fish and chip grease ,taxi and bus oil on white granite setts.

[Rob_Mac]

Are you doing both. Is there not a Smartseal guy in Ireland that would be better placed?

Second question - Is the Smartseal principle  about one central point sharing all info or all info from smaller operators going to one central point?

Rob

If you're working on a £10 000 patio you really should know what you are doing, if you don't then maybe work with someone who does

Rob

haha i doubt you would want to come to middlesborough! and i dont take it to heart it amuses me lol

Interesting question ....why are you thinking of becoming a Smartseal contractor?
 If quote " all info from smaller operators going to one central point?" it would be an insurmountable amount of knowledge possibly contained within the confines of a postage stamp (according to the forum gurus).
I doubt if you would care to be part of that ...so in what context should consider the question.
I unlike your self do not keep all my chicken embryos in one container....i would more consider myself an industrial prostitute.
 

[Rob_Mac]

No - I have no intention of changing my operation, Genuinely interested in how it works

I have to say that the last sentence was a little misguided. You have absolutely no idea what else I have going on and I choose not to share any of it with the forum or yourself.

I will say that I am not bound by a little nuisance, such as a mortgage or rental on a property

Did you try the 3 step approach in the original topic I replied to, for the paving you are talking about in Ireland?

[CleanClear]

Dont class me as one of them...we hate scousers
..dont be mistaken and dont be mislead we are not scousers were from birkenhead....
So stick your cathedrals and your pierhead we are not scousers were from birkenhead...

Against modern football.

    Don't forget to tell them you can always tell someone from the Wirral even though they "sound' like a scouser. Its more camp and effeminate, just exactly like lilly savage

Yep it was more your 2 step approach as I had no HF.  
70% of the stain came out but due to the almost white paving it's no where near enough (the DuPont flouropolymer is completely invisible on the surface so we cannot disguise any imperfections) . Just to make matters worse anything that is used needs to be biodegradable for the rain water gutters.
My mates mixing something up in his shed. A solvent that will penetrate the stone better(taking the surfactants with it) and although not biodegradable it evaporates about 30  c so it will never  make it to the grid.

You might be able to the last 30% with this,
http://www.steintec.co.uk/product/146/WEISSGR

I use this and it is good, as usual not a cheap product, might be worth seeing if they will send you a sample, they do, do them. Let me know and I can give you names to speak to at Steintec if you want.

Not completely what you might be asked to supply re the gutters, but I think you might struggle to find a completely Bio product to do the job.
Time you have flushed/cleaned off the concentrate will be diluted down to a minimal amount.
There is a MSDS sheet on the site for the product.

Thank you. They have Teflon too...WEISS StainProtect Profi.

Not used it but supposed to be quite good, again I have sample of the porfi to try along with the one you sent me, as well as couple of others to trail along side each other, as soon as I get a chance I will do the test's
