0 Guest rfitz Report post Posted August 7, 2003 If you can find a good steel push broom, you can sweep off the fuzzies from the floor when still wet in about 2 minutes, works as good as a sander but alot less mess, and 10 times faster, try it you will be amazed at how easy the fuzz just falls off, then just rinse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Robert Ray 14 Report post Posted August 7, 2003 thanks for the tip i will try that next time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 The Rob 14 Report post Posted August 7, 2003 Rob, Where can you get a steel pushbroom? Columbia Mo is where I'm located. Any ideas? Thanks, Robert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Guest rfitz Report post Posted August 7, 2003 Sometimes pool places have them, they call them algae brushes, also, farm coop stores have them, and probably, you could find a real good one online... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
