  1. Beth,

    Scrubbing with mineral spirits did NOT help. I have ordered some percarb and will try that.

    Ken, I'm with you on that, open the container and apply is all one should have to do.

    I'm glad I don't normally do decks and have to put up with this. But then if I did do decks, I might know what the heck I'm doing. Its a learning experience ( I don't need ).


  2. Well, I have a similar problem,

    Have an area about 8' X 14' that is still tacky after 3 weeks. Have mopped mineral spirits twice and lacquer thinner once and has not changed it at all. Next to it and done at the same time I have a 18' X 24' that has no problems, dried the same day it was applied. I'm thinking something in the prep phase, but it was done the same way. Mine is all on PT.

    Any suggestion? I'm thinking next I'm going to try and strip it, but not sure.


  3. Talked to Aaladin today...2050#, $26,000 list price.. waiting to hear back from them on size...it's been 3 hours they were going to call right back with the demensions, from the pic I guess 4' X 5' X 5'

    Kory,

    Landa, Hydrotek, Pressure pro, etc. all make higher flow machines. What are you looking for? Hot/cold, gpm, psi, gas/diesel ? How does 20gpm @ 3000psi hot for $26K sound ? or 6gpm @ 10,000 psi for $40k or 14 gpm @ 4000psi for for $21k ?


  4. Jim,

    It will be a matter of opinion. Like comparing cars. Most have 4 wheels and will get you from A to B. But are you comparing a Pontiac to a Buick ? Or are you comparing the old Yugo to Rolls ?

    You are right in that most have the same 3/4 brands of engines and pumps. But I think it does make a difference in how they are put together for ease of maintenance. They are all going to break, and if you are doing the maintenance choose whats best for you. I like to be able to change out a bad component without taking apart other items. I prefer flow switches over pressure switches, 115 vac burners over 12 vdc, unloaders that are mounted to a block and not on the pump head, etc. But that is all my preference and others like just the opposite.

    Doug
