That Sealer can be removed will alkaline based stripper. We have done it in the past. Superior's tech support they don't have a clue what to do in this type of case.

I would try a good alkaline based stripper /degreaser to see if this remove it. If that does not work contact the manufacturer to see what they have to remove the sealer. my bet is thay have something to remove the sealer or will tell you how to remove the sealer. I would start with an alkaline based stripper / degreaser and mix it somewhat stronger than you normally would. John E.

My client recently had a honed travertine floor installed. They went to the tile store and bought Superior Enhance and Seal and applied it themselves with a sponge that was recommended to them. It looked bad on the first go round, so they applied another coat and now it is smeary and smudgy. They say that the stone is darkened, so it must have absorbed into the stone well enough. I looked up the product and there is very little info except that it is color enhancing and will give a wet look. So was looking for any tips on how to remove the excess. Normally i would try to polish out or maybe use a high grit twister pad. But this is a honed floor, so i don't want to mess up the finish. Perhaps a stripper would work, but then that would probably remove the sealer. If I were to go this route, what would be a good replacement sealer (wet look). Thanks. -- ________________________________________ From the desk of Baird Standish Managing Partner Facility Specialists, LLC 1616 Walnut St. Philadelphia, PA 19103 Phone: 215-732-7505 Fax: 215-546-9160 -- Powered by http://DiscussThis.com Visit list archives, subscribe, unsubscribe or change your subscription preferences: http://www.discussthis.com/members/sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com Start a new conversation (thread): sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com -- Powered by http://DiscussThis.com Visit list archives, subscribe, unsubscribe or change your subscription preferences: http://www.discussthis.com/members/sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com Start a new conversation (thread): sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com
