One of the greatest things about this and all the forums is the informtion you can learn from other contractors. I also own a Carpet Cleaning business and have done much the same type of learning from others.
While I was skeptical of taking on this job by myself I felt after the Mahogony strip that went so well and after stripping Sikkens from decks I would listen to what others had to say and just take my time and go for it.
I used F-18 on the Mahogony with Coopertone stain but have found in the past that I had success with stripping Sikkens by using Sherwin Williams Deck Stain & Sealer Remover.
We stripped with that then Neultralized with F-8. I have to say we had more success with this than the decks with Sikkens in the past. NO! furring that was noticable and the customer absolutely loved the job and now wan't us to do his millions of miles of decks. The Pic of the front is just to give an idea of the size and was before we started the job.
I know I have a lot to learn and wan't to take a coarse on wood restoration but just wan't to know at what point is a contractor a "Woodie" and not just a Di@k cleaning wood.lol
