Is it any more economical?
I find encap quite expensive when used at the right dilution rate (not what's on the bottle)
I did a big commercial a while back and used £150 worth of encap.
Around 30 lts of encap give or take ,
How much did you earn for that ? how long did it take you ?
I would have thought AT LEAST 500 sq mtr for 5 litre used with a minimum charge of £1.00 per sq mtre done in under 2 hours !!!
How is that expensive ?

So for a £500 job and you use £50 of encap? that's 10% of the job value. Yes I'd say thats expensive.
Craig ,
I think you missed the point I was trying to make, perhaps the way I put it !!
The figures I have give are at the least you would expect, and I would be very very happy to be able to earn £500 in 2 hours for a lay out of 10% , wish I could do that every day
So just to put you mind at ease, the system is capable of achieving 400 mtr an hour and less solution used, giving an even better margin.
I don't want to be intrusive but as the question is relevant to you post, could you answer how big was the commercial job? what was the price? , perhaps then we could evaluate why you think it is expensive.
I would be interested to know when you say you encap, what system do you infact use? I have now been using encap for around 10 years with a cimex and I remember the days when people were scoffing at the system, some still do
.
What I have noticed recently is more and more c/c wanting to use encap but don't want to get the right tools, they simply put down a pre spay and go over with a rotary, fair enough , I am not saying it wont do a job, I don't think it will do the job as well or more importantly as efficiently as the correct machine, my opinion I know, I have tried other ways of encapping , not for me
