An Acrylic Nightmare..kids don't try this at home

[PressurePros 249]

I have to tell a story about this job. I arrive for the proposal and the guy is watering his lawn.

"Hi, Mr B, Ken, PressurePros. We spoke on the phone?"

"Oh hey, Hi Ken. Let me show you the deck, I just need the flaking washed off and then resealed."

As we go around the back he tells me he hired a guy two years ago to do the deck and he was surprised that deck doesn't last very long. When I turn the corner I get that little lump in my throat. The dreaded solid. Here is what I saw:

Yikes!

Ken,

The results do not surprise me. ;)

You rock. :dancing:

Has anyone tried experimenting with the other end of the ph range for work like this? I have experimented with sulfuric acid/Surfactant with good results on latex/acrylic coatings on little jobs.

Dan, give me a ring.
