I have used several strippers in alot of aplications and F-18 just simply out performs them all. I had to share these photo's. This house hase 3 very heavy coats of CWF on it. I mixed the the F-18 12 oz per gallon and let dwell for about 10-15 minutes before starting to wash with 500 psi/6 gpm. I thought I would have to strip this thing atleast 2 times but I was pleased to see this stuff just melt off and I only needed to apply stripper 1 time.

Garner, NC.
Hey Beth would it be possible to make some sort of list that can be viewed by state?

I always have Keith do the layout then I send the file to a printer.

Thanks, Keith at Kbk Graphx does all my work. I don't remember the cost.

When we did more PW I did "door hangers" the funny thing is I only jung them on a door a few times. I mostly hung them on a mail box. I've attached a copy.
-
I would assume that it has lead paint on it? If so are there any guid lines you need to follow? What type of stripper will you be using? If you like I can turn you on to a stripper that is suppose to work wonderfully on paint removal.
-
That's what extreme does. (I think) That is what the Citolic is.
-
Thanks Tony! I have been thinking of a switch, maybe I'll get a little and see how I like it. What is a typical mix you use?
-
Is there anyone out there that uses just Citric Acid to brighten? I know its slower than Oxalic and is safer but will the end result be the same?
-
You should be able to get it at a local supply house cheaper than that. Or try US Plastics.
-
I would do a light rewash with 6% bleach 1 gallon to 4 gallons of water with a dash of dish soap before I stained the house. Rinse really well, oxalic it then borate. Let it dry for a few days and stain stain stain.
-
I'm sorry to hear of all your problems, unfortunately that's very common with log homes. I would hit it with oxalic 8oz to the gallon and roll with it. This should take care of any mild graying, blue spotting and black spots. Have you noticed if the black spots are around nails? It is possible that some stripper was left untouched by the previous contractor and that's why you are experiencing the black spots. Have you tested the pH of the run off water? The wood tux sold here should suite you fine.
-
No Oxy-Con is a product by PermaChink. It's 99% oxalic. Dave feel free to give me a call. Those black spots could be several different things. One thing I do know is the Oxi-Con isn't a cleaner, it's a conditioner. If you have the complete Permachink suite you should have their precarb.

thanks for the reply

So how about a reply?? I would like to get this out by the weekend.

Beth,
I would like to ship some product to my brother inlaw to use on his deck but can't seem to find the rating needed for shipping on your msds sheets or in the ups records from previous shipments received from you. Do these products need special shipping precausions? If so could you fill me in so I can send them out.
Thanks,

I vote on a whole new machine. What do you clean? 2600/2.5 isn't very much. Check out www.pressuretek.com

Tanks
1-12%
1-F-13 (I use this for my house wash, gutter cleaning, bare wood cleaner and fleet soap)
1-Oxalic
1- anything else I want to downstream.

Alan , F-18 is for cleaning concrete like you said. It also does a great job at a few other things like deck stripping. F-18 is not a house washing chem. so you are right don't use it on a house! (well unless it's concrete.)
Lance, I have an adjustable Suttner that is rated for 15:1. Although I don't use the adjuster on the injector for fine tuning it works well for an on off nob. This will sound bad but I never bother with true ratios when washing a house whether it be x-jettting or downstream injecting so I don't have an answer for you there. I use 20 gallon tanks for each of my chems. Each tank has 2 lines coming from it. (one for each machine) The line then goes to a home made distribution panel through the metering valve then onto the injector. I've attached a pic that will show this. The blue line you see is what I use for my shure flo/flowjet set up.
P.S. if you want to downstream but need a stronger ratio it is possible to raise it with a shur flo type pump. If interested call Bob at Pressure tek for details and equipment list.
-
Rodney, yes that is just what I told you to start out with. 8 oz per 5 gallons for the average x-jet ratio used and adjust from there. (let me know when you want more or call Bob at pressure tek.) PS check your PM
-
Are you calling a 0 deg. a bullet nozzle?? Or might you be reffering to a nozzle that is rounded at the tip? (I think they might be made for kitchen exhaust cleaning) And yes Bob is Very knowledgeable, he also won't tell you something just to make a sale.

This might change this thread but I'll give you my 2 cents
averages times for me pulling up and away:
Ranch with garage (1200-1700) 1 hr +/- this will depent on if the gutters are done to remove any blackness and if it has a large front porch with lots of spindles.
2 story w/ garage (2200-2600) 1.5 hr - 1.75 hr +/- if gutters add 20 min. (max.) this is also with a level lot.
anything bigger 2 hrs +
When I used the x-jet system add 1/2 hr to each.
-
The F-13 is a potasuim hydroxide base not SH base.
I stand corrected for some reason I thought, read or was told Gutter Shock is a Hidroxide base sorry.
I too downstream and its great. I use 0 tips of varying sizes along with a unhooked x-jet or m5.
-
I can't say anything about gutter shock other than I THINK it is a spin off from gutter Zap.?.? Might be buytl based?? I personnally like and use the F-13...it is a great house wash and fleet wash it really does a great job on gutters too. I think (and yes am partial to it) it is a must have and will eliminate the need of having a bunch of different chems. My 5 cents!

Thanks! I will be finishing the house with RS Nat. Cedar. I would sell more WT but its hard to sell when you can't show the customer the colors. I too have some HD-80 and would say it is a decent product but in my experience the HD-80 needs more dwell time and coats to keep up with the F-18 just the opposite of your statement. To each there own :).
