Do a test with a solvent based chemical, eg., acetone, mineral spirits, or light methyl stripper. etc. If nothing removes the coating you just have to abrade the one tile with diamonds and feather it in. Good luck.

Hi,
I have two situations, both of which involve repairing or stripping and recoating marble with polymeric sealer. In the first case,  I believe what happened is that the polymer separated from the liquid in the container.  In any case, when I put it down it clumped and now the floor has relatively thick patches of polymer with swirl marks (from the burnisher).  It would not burnish out, so I would need to remove it and reapply.  Of course, I would prefer not to polish again but am not sure what any kind of stripping will do to the floor.

In the second case some painters broke a water valve at a job I did last summer and let water seep under a mat on top of the sealed floor.  Over time the sealer broke down and was also scratched by furniture movers.  Same thing as above - I need to get the floor back up and running with new sealer in the easiest way possible.  I have been using the sealer for quite a while and have never run into having to repair or remove the sealer, so this is a first for me. Has anyone ever dealt with this issue?  I have included two pictures of the last job i mentioned.  Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Baird
