Custy had Lacquer based sealer applied to brick pavers in the kitchen. Maid used a mix of water and vinegar to clean it. Over time, the sealer is now flaking off.
Custy wants the sealer stripped and an "epoxy sealer" applied.
First question;
What would be the best method to remove the existing sealer? A lacquer thinner and then use a spinner and my TM to rinse and extract? Use a shop vac?
Second;
I talked to one guy at Alpha Concrete and he said that I wouldn't be able to remove all the lacquer sealer because it had penetrated too deep into the grout and pavers.
He said the residue would inhibit the adhesion of the expoxy and that I should go back with another lacquer sealer instead. Do you think he is right?
Third;
Which sealer do you think would be best to re-apply in this situation?
Thanks,
James
