Have a question about removal of 2 year old solvent based sealer that the customer was told to thin with xylene. This is about a 20k sq ft job but their is only a small section on the back patio that has this stuff on it. They stopped because of what it was doing. It has a nasty yellow tinged to...

Hey all, my spring summer and fall season is coming to a halt real fast (28 deg right now)so I was considering running a winter add by listing some of this type of work. Agricultural buildings,schools, bleachers, fairgrounds, condos/appt complex. My insurance is paid through next spring and my...

Has anyone ever tried one of these? http://www.sprayerdepot.com/Shop-by-Category/Roller-Pumps/4001XLE2H_2 I was wondering if it would be a good pump for chemical application and rinsing.
