Fred,As per our conversation on the cruise, it would be a great help to us if you could come and spend a day with us here. I would be interested in seeing various things such as the repairs that you did in that short class on the cruise. Also, maybe you could show us some things about removing stains. On my end , I would want to have on hand all the coloring kits and glues that you used in your class. Also, I would have lined up some homes with cracked and stained tiles. We can do this anytime. Just give me advanced notice so that I can clear our schedule. Let me know the cost so that we can proceed.Stuart YoungSanta Fe Floor Care----- Original Message -----From: Fred HuestonSent: Tuesday, June 08, 2010 6:27 AMSubject: RE: [sccpartners] Quartzite TilesRogerYou can try to remove only that portion but you are correct, it may not match. The best option would be to explain that to the customer and do a test. As far as fastest removal, this will depend on the type of coating. If its acrylic based a standard stripper should take it off, if its a urethane it is going to require some nasty strippers

Looks like slate and the sealer is lifting, or the slate is spalling

Subject: [sccpartners] Quartzite Tiles
I was brought in on a Quartzite Tile shower. The homeowner was having problems with the shower floor turning whitish. 1st I thought it might be soap film, but turned out to be a High Gloss Coating. See attached picture. I removed the coating from the floor using a honing brush and a coating remove for acrylic finishes. . I’m now going to seal it with a coaler enhancer.
The problem is with the walls. When I used soap film remover on the lower parts of the walls, the coating started peeling away. My question is this. Can I remove the coating from the lower section and re-apply a High Gloss Sealer on one the walls? Or do I need to remove the coating from the entire shower? The reason I’m hesitant to remove the coating. Is that the bathroom floor and tub surround has the quartzite tile with the high gloss coating. If I remove it from the shower the areas will not match.
If I do need to remove the coating, what is the fastest way to get that junk off?
Thanks,
