Job Details from John at Milagro CFS, LLC:
Thank you for your help last week, I know I've picked your brain as well as Mark's on this
problem I've just completed correcting.
Job Detail: Use of a faulty solvent based acrylic sealer on decorative acid stained floor
surface. The sealer was not curing out after 7 days after having been placed. The
material seemed soft and was taking on damage from other trades, but not from their lack
of care for the floor, but from the floor not being hard enough to withstand everyday use
and its inability to withstand heavy items being placed upon it. See the attached picture
of
tile box damage on surface, where the corrugation of the cardboard left an impression
on the floor 7 days

after it was sealed.
Solution: Strip, floor entirely, using soy gel to lessen risk of chemical exposure and to get
through each layer of sealer without damaging the decorative surface of the stained
concrete floor. Clean and rinse the floor until all residue is removed from the surface.
We used a mixture of 1/10th acetone per volume of water dilution to mop the surface
before scrubbing with a low speed machine and black scouring pad. We then rinsed a
second time using a degreaser water mix and once again scrubbed the surface then
vacuumed up the remaining water.
After we cleaned the floor, I then went back and cleaned the floor surface with a slightly damp
micro fiber mop to remove and missed residue. The floor was allowed to dry to the touch before
we touched up and faux painted the floor to fix any surface blemishes.
Since time was critical, we used the special hybrid version of your 5205 primer (quick
dry formula). We were extremely impressed by the dry time of this material, we waited
approximately 1.5 hours before proceeding to seal with your Polyurea 5073.
Take a look at the results, incredible! If you'd like more pictures I'll be happy to send
some.
Thank you,
John Rodriguez
