Strip Sikkens Deck base
Beth n Rod replied to RSuds's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
There is a really long dwell time associated with removing it. HD-80 will take it at full strength with about an hour of dwell, might be faster if boosted with 633-add. We have stripped that stuff many times. Always be ready to do some amount of sanding, since nothing is 100%. Beth -
Networking is a wonderful thing! We can all help each other. Pass what is out of your service area to someone you know in that area. Let's all have a great season! Beth :cup: :sunshine:

Delco, they have sent out some flyers on equipment sales they are having. They are the banner at the top of each page. Click on it to find out how to contact them for more information.. Rod!~ -
advice on purchasing a hot water machine
Beth n Rod replied to squeegeeboy's question in Residential Pressure Washing
If you go used, call some of the distributors. Many do resell used equipment, and since they service them you stand a better chance of getting a machine in good working order. Hope this helps. Beth -

Connection Hoses On Reel
Beth n Rod replied to rick77's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
Consider the direction of your connections if using QC's. Also, make use of the hose bend restrictors to help limit the connection exposure to abrasion which could cause the QC to disengage. If you have a trapped pressure unloader, no way they are coming apart. With a flow type like a K-7, there is a possibility of it but it also depends on the direction of the connection as mentioned earlier. The practice of completely unbailing the hose and positioning it where you need it and where it will follow helps. ex; I unbail it in a 8'-10' serpentine pattern perpendicular to the direction I will be pulling hose so that it feeds well on the ground without tangles and catching on landscape accents ond such.

Sounds like a very fun test! Can't wait to see what happens! Beth -
and I will add to the benefit of that statement: "without adding to the landfill another machine that costs more to fix than it did to buy it." Rod!~

I see you are in NJ. Call Tom & Barbara at ACR Products. They are in PA, and are probably closer than most of the suppliers here. 610-253-8005 Beth -

What is this new site everyone is talking about?
Beth n Rod replied to PressurePros's topic in Business Topics & Tips
Due to a lack of availability (a.k.a. free or spare time) I am going to have to withdraw from the writing team. Writing has always been a passion of mine, something I never grow tired of doing. But I don't want to commit to this and let anyone down who may have expectations that are greater than what I am able to offer. Thank you for thinking of me, and best of luck! Beth -
Proper Use of a Floor Sander
Beth n Rod replied to Gutter Squad's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
I wouldn't necessarily use it for sanding a deck floor but I have heard of others who have used them for defurring a deck after stripping. Rod!~ -
Wood Tux and Flamability
Beth n Rod replied to fireandrain's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
Bump! Good reading for spring! Beth -
I don't have the specifics but it (actually they) are for 25 man crews and I have to replace perishable items every year. OSHA requires companies that perform hazardous work to maintain these in the event of an accident. I always hope they never need to be used...here is a link to a similar kit. http://www.labsafety.com/LAB-SAFETY-SUPPLY-Industrial-First-Aid-Kits_s_148882/First-Aid-Kits_24535419/ Rod!~

Good point, that was one that I had with a 3 gallon factory installed tank. Incoming water would cause so much turbulence and induce air bubbles to the point that it would not allow me to wash unless the tank was always full. The problem there was that not all of my customers supply was able to keep up. The 30 gal. tank solved that and more. The one in the pic is mounted on 2" square tubing that is mounted to the top rail of the bed. That is an old pic, now I have also a Decker topper pump and a 200' chem hose reel mounted on it in addition to the 300' supply hose reel. Rod!~
