HEAT!!! is number one. And it depends on how thick it is. If it's too thick then you'll need sandblast it. I say do a test area first because I have found out that some sealers take longer to remove than others. Also keep in mind that if you are removing the sealant from pavers the sand in between each one will come out and when it dries the sand will be on top. You can sweep it back in the cracks. Push broom works best in a back and forth motion. If you're going to seal it your need to sand it anyways before sealing. I would stay away from zero degree tips and turbo nozzle, worst investment buying one of those. Try a 25 first and then maybe go down to 15 if you need to. As for stripper products I don't know, but hopefully someone else can chime in here.

BMP's confusion?? Easy explanation.
Kristopher Pettitt replied to John T's topic in Business Topics & Tips
Why does an org need to make BMP's regarding waste water control? -
BMP's confusion?? Easy explanation.
Kristopher Pettitt replied to John T's topic in Business Topics & Tips
So in short you're basically saying that BMP's for any company or org is just a set of guidelines for that specific company/org? And that these BMP's are not affiliated with the government of the United States, and that these BMP are the sole design of that said company? That the law has no bearing on a company's BMP? -

Poll: What type of pressure washing rig do you use?
Kristopher Pettitt replied to mdspowerwashing's question in Residential Pressure Washing
I absolutely love my enclosed trailer. Plenty of room for growth, and does everything I want it to do. One of these days I'll get around to making a video of it. -

This may sound crazy
Kristopher Pettitt replied to Atlantic Power Washing's question in Residential Pressure Washing
I agree with Michael. I actually forgot about the whole agitation, must've been tired. But I know my concept does work in other areas. -
This may sound crazy
Kristopher Pettitt replied to Atlantic Power Washing's question in Residential Pressure Washing
Something like this concept with an air tank will work. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00983285000P?sid=IDx01192011x000001&kispla=00983285000P&srccode=cii_17588969&cpncode=33-146356486- Though this is just an example of what I mean. I would get something more commercial wise, as this is made for residents. -

Kristopher Pettitt replied to Atlantic Power Washing's question in Residential Pressure Washing
You can have an air sprayer and have the product be DS in between the hose, but after the system. -
This may sound crazy
Kristopher Pettitt replied to Atlantic Power Washing's question in Residential Pressure Washing
Actually yes, there's a guy I know that has an air pump that he uses to spray down some of his more heavier chemicals. I'm sure the same concept could be used in your situation. I've even been thinking of adding one in my trailer. With an air sprayer you don't get all that excess water and your chemicals are more potent. Just need to be careful with the potency. -

Kristopher Pettitt replied to John T's question in The Club House
Thank you Al and Jim. Some need to remember that Mods are just like anyone else here and we are all in the same industry. Our opinion differs from one another, and there is nothing wrong with that. At times I think it's appropriate that moderators moderate other moderators. Especially when an opinion differs from another contractor. But what isn't right is when a moderator forces their beliefs on another (even if they are correct) just because they are a Moderator. I respect each opinion and thought given by anyone, I just don't have to agree with it. Also just because someone is a moderator does not mean you have to feel like you're stepping on eggshells. I am looking forward to this experience as Moderator, but for the time being I am just sitting back watching. -
We really do need a like button on here. And thank you.

Where is it anywhere that I made assumptions or guess about yourself? I only stated that you were guessing who I was, but now say that you weren't. Am I reading this wrong? "At this point you have neither." I mean come-on, that is clearly making an assumption of someone. You think I have not the age nor the experience when you have no idea who I am. If you're not going to stick by your words then don't write them in the first place.
-
Merely out of curiosity, but at what age or how many years of experience are we talking about? I mean for to say that I have no experience nor the age, means you don't know me well enough and are only making a premature guesses of me. My point is Guy is you have no idea the life experience I have. Believe me there are very few people out there that have had a tougher life experience than me. This back and forth was started by you. So it is your choice to continue or end it.

My apology John, but I don't quite understand what you mean by "take the above and run with it." Could you explain what you mean?
-
Guy, How is you telling Chris what you think he should do not advice and a statement. Does that mean your now ordering him around? Are you his boss? Read it for yourself what you wrote, it’s clearly advice, but if you want to call it a statement then I’ll retract my statement and state this instead. "Do not give a statement if you're not willing to practice it yourself Guy. Please understand that nowhere in my #44 post did I mention my personal problem with The ***. My problem is not with The ***, but with a certain individual. You are more than welcomed to contact me if you want to know more. But my questions were aimed at those in charge over there. And thank you for the compliment.
-
You know that's sort of like that other place I used to belong to... what was that place called again? Do not give advice if you're not willing to practice it yourself Guy.

I have a question for those coming from ***. Why is it okay for you to bash, laugh at, poke fun, integrate, and insult others on The ***, but when someone here does it you start whining about how this place isn't professional? By doing this you need to realize that you're not being apart of the solution, but becoming the problem. You really want these forums not to be about bashing and be more professional then look at your own actions on all forums and set the example. If you don't bash someone here, then don't bash that person anywhere, no matter what forum might be on. My own professionalism is consistence with every forum/social network I belong to. Chris, how about you pull the countless, and I do mean COUNTLESS threads on The *** where you and many have bashed people? Don't talk about professionalism when you don't even practice it yourself. Improvement always is with thyself, FIRST. I can't wait for that day when The Grime Scene no longer needs moderators..... that is my dream and that is what I am aiming for. It is the prime reason I asked to be a moderator so that I could work toward that goal. A place where Moderators don't need to do their job is going to be perfect.
