Questions & Answers

I read that you can't paint concrete after using Bean e Doo, but can you stain concrete after using it?

It turns out that Bean has a problem. Due to the fact that doo is an oil, oil based stains can penetrate or paint cannot adhere to it. You can purchase diatomaceous earth at your local auto parts store to use as a lubricant absorbent. Put it to use to absorb the beans - I dunno. You must remove the bean once you have removed it Spritz liberally on the diatomaceous earth again to absorb any remaining oil. Lay it down 1/4 inch thick and let it sit for a few days, then sweep and vacuum it Most of the oil that remains behind will be drawn up and absorbed by it. Scrub the surface for the last time with TSP and allow it to dry completely. If you stain the wood, you will have no problem, but if you paint it you will have no problem.

Once the mastic has been removed with Bean e Doo, what is the most common thing that people do with the basement floor?

As well as tiling a bathroom floor, epoxying my laundry room, putting laminate flooring in the bar area, and carpeting the living area, I also painted the exterior of the house.

Is it possible to remove thinset from the back of tiles with this product?

I do not believe it will. The company is Norkan,

Do you think ceramic tile can be laid ?

After being stripped of mastic with Bean- it is possible to lay ceramic tile I dunno. I saw the Bean - A ddoo strip leaves an oily residue on the floor that must be cleaned before laying new tile. *br>We recommend that you mop the stripped floor with Emerge Degreaser several times and allow it to dry before laying new tiles.

The oil slick living room was mopped for days, and tons of scraping was done
3/5

The number of participants was 66 The year is We had to remove black tar mastic that had been applied years ago. Upon viewing the video, this product appeared to be the most suitable, perhaps it was, but it was not a simple or straightforward process. To complete the job, it took almost three times (three times) the amount of oil that the coverage estimate predicted. It meant I had to divide my work into three buckets and work on it over a period of more than 3 It took me three sections to finish the job. section, I put the oil on thick and left it there for 18 hours, then manually scraped the oil until it started thickening to the point where I took it up with concrete scooper and kitty litter. Before I had a relatively clean slab, I repeated this process twice more (not for as long a time as before). Before I considered the section finished, I applied a thin fourth coat. As a result, the oil poured under the wall footers of the front porch area and onto the colored pavers and into the adjoining room, destroying the tile. I had to repeat the same procedure The oil was left on for 18 hours versus 4 hours, and I did not notice any difference between the two I have been using a lot more kitty litter to prevent the oil from leaking from the confined space for 6 hours. It still has black spots on the floor, and the gap under the drywall looks nasty, and it is nearly impossible to remove the stuff from a fabric or boot. In order to avoid walking on the slab/residual tar while the drywall and painting are being refreshed, we bought a rug replacement for $200 since we can't put in the new flooring until the drywall and painting are completed. This was a very tedious and manual task that took a very long time and caused a lot of mess for us. We're confident enough about the results to lay down a wood substructure This is the end result I need, so I guess the product worked, but it would not be something I would do again as a do-it-yourself project. Additionally, I doubt we got any money back.

The process is labor intensive, but it works
4/5

It is the third chemical product I have used to remove a thick yellowish-colored film from my face A smear of brown carpet adhesive was found on my basement concrete pad. Initial attempts with a Kleen cleaner from Lowes did little to no good. Next, I used Sentinel 626 to cut the paper according to manufacturer instructions, but it took a lot of elbow grease using an 8-inch diameter cutting tool I followed the instructions and used the 2-inch scraper blade to remove just the top layer of adhesive. I then bought this product and removed the remainder with a 2-inch scraper blade. The product is easy to apply with a brush or a squeegee What a shock. The distance I covered was approximately 600 miles The size of the building is 700 square feet. I have not been able to walk very well on my feet I ventilated the basement, and the smell was light and citrusy, but Oil-based products tend to be very slippery, so this product is especially In the beginning, I let it sit for 4 days it is recommended However, when I subsequently used the 8-hour I discovered that it wasn't working After trying to remove the marks with a razor blade and rubbing with a small hard bristled brush, I didn't get any results. Frustrated, I left it for another day to see if it would work around the marks. To clean the squeegee, I used a squeegee I let the gooey oil and gee dry to remove any remaining product on the floor, then sprayed it down with warm, soapy water and scrubbed it with a bristled brush, and it was done! It soon became evident that glue and mastic had come In my case, I repeated the labor intensive process using a mop, squeegee, and rope to finish the job The dawn was bright, the water was warm and there was a long-lasting scent The concrete was cleaned with a hard bristled scrub brush which removed 95% of the glue. After that, I used Blue Bear 700DG and a mop to continue cleaning. Brushing and mopping removed almost all of the remaining glue from the concrete. During the entire time it sat on my floor, I measured 32 hours This took eight hours, and it took that long I spent an entire day scrubbing, removing glue, and performing another full round of degreasing. Despite how good the floor now looks, I will probably need to use a couple more rounds of degreaser to truly remove the product from the Although this product requires a lot of work, it was worth the effort. When I have another project that requires this type of application or project in the future, I will use it again.

I like it! The mastic must be liquefied to make it work! The ceiling of my basement, which has 1000 square feet of vinyl tile, is cracked
5/5

I watched several videos, read reviews, and did research on different methods of application and removal after the tile had been removed. I noticed the black mastic more once the tile was removed, which is what leads most people to this product. I had to boil the mastic for two five gallon pails in order to get it liquified fully. In the first pail, I was able to liquify some spots where I had applied it thickly while other places remained The recipe calls for ten gallons of beans Having successfully liquified the mastic, I am happy and satisfied. A black oil substance forms on the mastic, and it is difficult to remove and soak up. As far as application and use are concerned, I followed the procedure as outlined below. After I put up a liberal coat of bean-scented paint on the wall, I broom it with a small broom It went across the floor like doo. It sat there for a while and I left it- combed the deck with a steel bristle deck brush attached to a handle after three hours of sitting. After squeegeeing the liquid around the floor a few times I found a spot that was still hard. Within this spot, I squeegee the liquid oil-like substance and scrub it with my metal brush until there was absolutely nothing left of it. As soon as I had scrubbed all the hard spots and removed most of the mastic, I squeeged the oil into a centralized area and covered it with four bags of cat Scooping the saturated cat litter into the empty hat, I started to clean it straight-away The extra bucket I had was made up of two doo pails. In all three cases, I sealed all three and took them to a waste disposal facility. To degrease the floor temporarily while I prepare part of the floor for demo and the installation of the bathroom, I mixed one gallon dish soap with two gallons of simple green. As I went along I used the steel brush to scrub the floor. A pressure washer was then used to wash the floor, and I squeegee dried it afterwards. As soon as the job is finished I intend to use the emerge degreaser I purchased to remove any residual product. I should mention that it did leave the basement smelling pretty bad, but with the new egress window I am about to cut it should be able to.
