Re: removing excess sealer from travertine Baird Standish 16 Feb 2011 11:54 EST
Ok. All great advice. I am going to the Tile Store now to get MSDS sheets. On-line the Tile Store recommended treating with their Pro-strip ( I checked that MSDS and it is a blend of Meth Chlor and other typical stuff). They also recommend it for Aqua-mix enhance n shine. Aqua- mix recommends nano-scrub but used the exact same language, so probably is same stuff/same company. Still can't get the MSDS sheet for the original sealer online.
