absolute genius!!

..similar example being the two gallons spilled all over one of my interior concrete jobs last night the day after stripping it. Was waterbased acrylic and oxidizers ate a good coat or two in like a few minutes flat..

In case some the droppings relate more to pitch/sap....For what it's worth off the Wolman site: "Pitch stains, or crystallized sap, found mainly around the knots of pressure-treated wood, can be removed with turpentine or simply scraped away. Turpentine will not harm an existing coating. Pitch is a non-water soluble, organic wood extractive material found in species such as Ponderosa, Southern and White Pine." Since your case may differ somewhat.. just maybe try a mild neutral ph cleaner like a car wash. What Charlie says should also be correct unless too much is used or other additives are in the mix.

oooo..one my fav topics!....yes in my research it was Sierrahttp://www.sierraantifreeze.com/sstores.html /Peak found at Kragens, etc. http://cskauto.com/StoreLocator.aspx that wins out in the balancing act of pricing and availability. But you can go here for synonyms (meth): Propylene Glycol , Polyoxyethylene Nonylphenol ..manufactures often pick uncommom synonyms to help protect their recipes. I have an interior floor stripper that I use from a company only about 3mi. from my place. The raw ingredients we talk about for the wood is same and they are in 55gal. drums from a chem supplier that escapes me right now.. Sounds sorta like Chem store but it isn't. I'll get it next time I go in there. They have to be way better priced then Chem store rates or retail.

My mother started counting backwards at 40 too...lol..j/k :)

Russell, Why you playing a rerun?...That is same post from earlier on...people had problems apparently with delivery..why not speak to that? Whatever case.. Product sounds decent and I'll use it..

Accidents can really play heck with ya if your in the cycle where you only put a little good faith money down and then get upside down in the schedule being to long. You'll owe way more than they give ya and then ya still got to come up with a new downpayment. On the depreciation..one with actual expenses method, one with miles deduction...Can you say sitting pretty with heaps of receipts? :)

Although now I'm a wonderin how many candles gonna be on the cake..I surely not gonna ask a lady how many... HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH!!

Can you say 5 minutes flat?... :)

Can you say 5 minutes flat?... :)

Think about bringing in a sweeper truck guy for the lots. It can save you heaps of time...if not use firehose off the hydrants. I'd just quote them what day and time work is to commence with a binding signature section after an hourly rate services description area. I put language in mine that allows me to invoice for services completed at days end regardless of project completion.

Yes we've heard plenty on how two or even a heavy single coat will just turn things into a shiny top coat. If the need to match new boards becomes to great I may just go to hardware store and add tints till things get darker on the innitial coat..turn it into a semi-solid sorta if I have to. Scott says we can add tint so.. :)

I guess you answered my question James cause maybe you felt some attachment to the issue I described of some not helping? If that makes for a side note fact than so be it...You alone are responsable for your actions or inaction. The topic of finding or offering solution for this mold problem has not much to do with theory..You either got it or you don't. Doesn't make a hoot of sense to describe the issue again to the forum without offering your supposed solution is what I am saying. If the stance your taking is that of not helping others on this, which would be in contrast of how you usually have been, then I truly feel sorry for you and wish you future health. p.s.- But hey to offer you a inspirational bone and to prevent bridge burning..Please go ahead...Go ahead and make our day. ..double, tripple dog dare ya.. ..you can do it..Is just a little 4 letter word called 'help' :)

Mike, Think he was refering to how Gates took someone elses stuff and tweaked it to be his own wheel. His went faster and more efficient.....whatever the case... Mr. Brown, I don't mind helping younger people get there head on straight and point them right direction to better achieve their goals. Business is rough and tough and maybe it will eat him up if he don't hear the facts that them other fellas thought most important to give him. Maybe you failed to recognize that the individuals that did not receive him well deserve honesty of intention/forthrightness. It so happens this group of professionals is about the cream of the crop and he will remember and be thankful for some the sound advice given if he sticks with it. Personally I think his 20 year old drive and ambition and way of going about things is about on track far as maturity goes and he gets point in my book for making apology. Such is not often seen these days in young folks. You on other hand..I don't know.. Have no idea how old you are but I feel a tad offended and think your closing remark is somewhat rude upon this forum... Well anyways I am sure you know best how you wish to be received so carry on.. ..God Bless :)

Could just walk away from the ones that are not "always easier to spray".. :)

Is this thread pretty much in reference to same issues fenner been posting about?..If so it is getting abit rediculous that some know how to prevent, or get rid of and aint being forthcoming on the board here. I mean are you here to help people or what??!!

Charlie...one of the best free calenders I can't remember name of right now does exactly that with the hightlighting. Is partly why I liked it..

Many calender programs will suffice...I use MS Works Calender as it comes with my computers. Can make multiple calenders for different people or businesses. It shoots up reminders any amount of time prior to job and can set jobs to reoccuring any amount of days apart you like...7 day..14, 30..etc. Can even see how long the job will run through a day or over many days. There is a few really good free calenders I've used but their names escape me right now as I am part caveman too.. There is a movie with the caveman coming out now and actually we seen one in the bushes while pulling into Discovery Kingdom yesterday...!! :)

This one not bad with the 4 to 8 oz info.. Oxygen Bleach-cleaning Tips and Formulas I've went up to about 12 oz per gal. along with upwards of a cup each of the tsp and borax. All the black dead stuff just starts foaming and boiling out on verticles..Good stuff..but hey be careful if ya use the borax as it is of course a toxin and can be dangerous to plants, insects, animals, and humans.. They say hot water activates it to work better but that isn't always readily available less you ask customer to use their bath tub..Not a chemist but I think the squirt of the ammonia based stuff might cause same effect as if using the hotwater.

Matt..look up the 'apple sauce' thread and find the part where I modified it substituting percarb for bleach. Careful with the soap additive mentioned though as the ammonia in it kicks things off pretty good..could blow closed containers and yerself up if ya go nuts with it. Just a good squirt is all ya need.....You can boost the other two ingredients to get you to where you need to be but mix well or use a good nonclogging type application method. ...I wanna see that 4k redwood deck..what ya puttin on it? p.s.--PC no go with SH

Odd they are not already treated. Must been one them piecemeal kits like from the box stores.

:corn:got any butter?

RS's version of honey or closest to it would be?..gold?..pics please as my test boards are just too small to get a good idea..actually have someone that don't want red or brown apparently..

Ok how about this hijack idea. whoem ever comes up with the best logo for my wood care gets an official brownie button..

too goobermental fer me!!.. :)
