Stu, The shower is about 4 years old. I didn't see any stain before because it had so much soap scum and body oils build up. Customer said it wasn't there (of course) and is being ass about it. It is possible that it could be there before but I can't prove it at this time.What exactly is iron oxidation and what causes it?The alpha product is good I only use it for testing purposes.
It turns purple and you have to work fast real fast.
It can stain very porous stones.
Stick with the iron out. Use it straight mixed with water.
Works well. Open area to 80/120 g sandpaper.
How old is shower floor.
Does drain work well.
Was stain there prior to refinishing.
