This is pretty much the way I have stripped Mexican tile and have charged about the same. I know people get frustrated by Aldon, but I have used their premium stripper many times (a gel) and have recoated often with mexiglaze and a polymer topcoat. The whole thing is messy and stinks  the process needs a lot of air. I always recommend that the owners stay somewhere else for a day or two. The mexiglaze dries quickly and, if there is good ventilation, it's not too bad. I have never seen epoxy on Mexican tiles so haven't had to remove any.

After its all stiped I then use a floor machine with 13 inch red brush from malish. Sparks dress up and sparks international for finish
