I really messed up......Help me......

[stevewash]

I made the mistake as a brand new person in this business and I really need some help.
I am working on a 2.5 million dollar house and I pressure cleaned the front and back of the house. When I sealed the driveway I used a water based sealer. Not knowing, I only allowed the sealer on the driveway to dry for about 3 hours before allowing cars to drive on it. I now have tire tracks all over the pavers.
HOW DO I REMOVE THIS????????

 

[MR ALAN]

What brand of sealer? Some water base will strip with am alkaline, while others will need a methylene chloride.

Have you ever heard of reading the directions? How could anyone do work on somebody else's property (especially 2.5 mil) and not take the time to know what they were doing. I'm sorry to have to say this, but I could not hold it in.

If you're lucky.....you may be able to strip the sealer off. If not, well I guess you'll get what you deserve. Hope you paid your insurance premium.

Sorry.

Tony,

Do you think you could lighten up on this guy man? Had a bad day or could not wash today with all the rain up there? Give the guy something he can use. I sure he would have not asked if he could have fixed it himself. I though this is why the board is here.

Peace on earth.

I thought the board was here to help learn before you botch up 2.5 mil propertys.

Anybody who has been around here knows I'll help just about anybody.

If a person does not take the time to read the label on the can, and yet does not know anything about the product, is in for trouble. Period.

Latex products can be very difficult to strip.

Without more info, I would recommend that you call the mfg. Their number should be on the can of sealer. I'm sure you're not the first person to have this happen - intentionally or otherwise.

The bottom line

You will need to reseal it with a much thicker coat. PERIOD

 

[timhays]

maybe a caustic based product will remove it,hot water will help.

definately call the mfg and get there reccomendation.

good luck.

 

[Aplus]

Caustics don't remove latex. Call the manufacturer.

MEK will do the trick...
