    Has anyone used V Seal before?+

    I have only done a test spot with V-seal but I was impressed with what little I saw. The spot stayed light colored when all the rest of the cement had gotten dark from being wet, so it appeared to block the whater out well, and it's basically permanent. As far as stopping mold and such, mold...

    sodium hydroxide question

    I buy it from my local chem company in a 50 percent dillution. It has some rinsing aids etc. I think it cost around 50 dollars maybe as high as 80 for 5 gallons which can be dilluted a lot.

    asphalt cleaning

    I try to only do light rinses on Asphalt as it gets to messy to directly clean with all the dirt that comes out, you end up not even being able to see where you are cleaning. Most of the topcoats if they are going to do one will go over dirt as long as it is just light or normal dirt.

    Scared of anything over 2 story's, what to do....?

    I can usually only get two story's at best with my 24 foot extension since you have to be at an angle to the wall (away from the wall a ways) you loose quite a bit of height. Thanks again Jeremy

    Strippers and taping off house and glass?

    When using strippers like sodium hydroxide do people put plastic over the house so the overspray doesn't hurt the glass or discolor-strip the paint on the house. I am always really concerned when I apply a stripper. Thanks Jeremy
