It is easy to use, with a pleasant smell
5/5

It seems to work The first thing we did was attach a few 0's before we started. A 7 mil plastic film was used to protect all adjoining walls at about 2 feet above the ground. Then, using the spray attachment that came with the quart bottle, I applied a "wet" coat to a large A foot is. It involves the bottom) Having waited two hours, we poured a few pounds of Tidy Cat litter into the center and used a scraper to push the brow "goo" into the litter. Once in the litter, we scooped it into trash bags and disposed of it. After the floor had been mopped with TSP in hot water, a bucket of hot water was poured over it. It turned out that some of the product had dried up on our concrete floor since it was not completely level/flat during the two-hour sitting period. After several hours, we decided to repeat the process, but this time we resprayed the product at a 10-minute interval on the areas of the floor that were more prone to drying When the second attempt was completed, the floor had been thoroughly cleaned. I found the whole process to be a little time-consuming, but other than having to use disposable nitrile gloves, the product is not too caustic or unpleasant to the senses (a citrus aroma), it doesn't take a lot of time The product is highly recommended for concrete floors that have been coated with black mastic adhesive for more than 60 years.

As if by This process is safe and does not emit A small addition After trying it on larger patches of yellow mastic, I have found that it provides satisfactory results
5/5

It does not matter what Blue Bear does to yellow mastic in my house. After soaking it in BB for four hours, I had a lot of trouble getting this stuff up even with a metal floor scraper. The Black was great at taking care of it. When the yellow one had to be reapplied a few times, you could see it dissolving and melting a little more each time. But this yellow wasn't even phased. Spilling water on it would do the same. I'm going to research online to see if anyone has any tips for me. However, I am giving up my dream of concrete floors since I will no longer be using toxic fuming stuff like I had been. The last thing I ever wanted in my house was that. In addition, I'm not planning on grinding up half the house with one machine. yellow and black mastic all over my concrete floor from tearing out linoleum and cheap tile. The produce I used in the kitchen had a very high toxicity level. Although it got up most of the black mastic, it was very fumes-filled, even when the windows and doors were There is a definite smell associated with blue bears, but nothing that can cause problems. It probably makes more sense to use a bucket of this stuff, but I wanted to test out a small portion ahead of buying a larger tub. I sprayed the glue with the bottle's sprayer, so the glue was covered by the spray. Afterward, I worked it into the floor with the end of a stiff bristle brush, and let it sit for a few hours. I then used a floor scraper to scrape it off. In the meantime, I scrubbed the floor with Dawn diluted with water because it was dirty. Once that was done, use a sponge and some rags to dry it off. Due to the soy content in the product, I just washed the tools after the job was done. I got it all messed up! There is a lot of staining on the bucket due to the mastic glue, but I guess that is to be A toxic mess is still preferable. Until now, I have not used enough cat liters to need to clean them. However, I may give it a try Now that it has passed through the mastic, I The terrain still has tenacious patches, but I am going to invest in the big bucket and I believe that will take care of the problems. It works just as well as the more toxic strippers, but is a lot less hazardous to use primarily due to the fact that it is not so toxic. Make sure you're ready to get dirty.

I DO NOT USE THEM JUST FOR CONCERTS! On top of wooden flooring, I had glued down carpet for more than 40 years
5/5

Every method I could think of to remove the old mastic didn't work. After spraying the mastic with Blue Bear 500MR, I let it dry. After checking with a scraper, I went to the market the next day. When I scraped the adhesion up I was so surprised how easy it was. How great it is to have this After renting a heavy sander, I was not looking forward to dealing with the mess that was left behind.

The solution is fantastic, Removed the black glue that was underneath the original tile of a 1960s home using this tool
5/5

Black mastic, apparently, is what this substance is called. Removed by no means. This Mastic remover was purchased after mechanical grinding (very exhausting), acetone, alcohol, and concrete cleaner had all been unsuccessful. The ones that worked didn't work at all. When I poured this over the black mastic (that had trowel lines), it took two minutes for it to become solid As soon as it started dissolving it, it started dissolving. Once it was poured again, I let it sit for *30 minutes, then used a squeegee to wipe it down. There are many more gallons now for the rest of my It would have saved me a lot of time and energy if I had tried this first. The room was 10 feet by 10 feet and would take 1 gallon.

During my internet search, I stumbled upon this marvelous product
5/5

Despite being told by experts that nothing could ever remove asbestos mastic from my 60+ year old basement floor, I found this wonderful product on the internet and it has helped me a great deal. You must see this to believe it! Upon trying the smallest bottle, I am already ordering a larger quantity to finish my project. After giving the black gunk about 15 minutes or so to sit, I used a wire steel brush to spread it around and scrub it in. As soon as it dissolves it, you can pick up the mess with cat litter and finish taking care of it with soapy water and a degreaser (blue bear 700). I'd like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Thank you for making this product available. p. s. I like the way it smells,.

The Bean - I did it! This is excellent Old cut-offs can be removed in this way, but the method isn't exactly safe The black mastic must be removed from the This is a messy situation
5/5

It's still a good idea. The only thing that works on mastic is paint stripper. If the mastic is painted, you initially have to use a paint stripper. For the bulk of the project, I did the bulk once and for the remainder, twice. It was cleaned with simple green, and then clay litter was placed on it and let sit for a couple of days before getting swept You're doing a great job!.

A topic on which snake oil is found
3/5

The moldy smelly vinyl on top of my kitchen floors has been removed as I am redoing the floors. The stuff I bought was intended to remove vinyl adhesive that was 28 years old. He didn't touch it at all. Even if they softened it, they didn't. My patience was tested for 8 hours, heck I waited through the It did not end up having to grind the floor with an angle grinder with diamond cups. There were more grains of glue in that concrete than there were. The money and time spent on this were wasted.

black mastic in a short period of time
5/5

Based on the numerous reviews I read, I was skeptical of this product. Like thick oil, the product is thick. The black mastic that was beneath the vinyl tile, which came from 1968, was applied to it. It started dissolving the mastic under 10 minutes, leaving the black mastic as a liquid, which does not require a great deal of effort to "scrape" The oil/mastic needs to be absorbed by something really good at this point. The papers and rags I used are from the newspaper. Cat litter seems to be a popular choice. Despite my high expectations, I was pleasantly surprised with this product.
