WHEW!!...I will be in England in March..looks like you boys are all in England

I will gladly buy dinner and drinks for any one of you who crack this code and help me with this

I am overwhelmed...damsel in distress to the stress extreeme

Please tell me water and bakingsoda will handle the above!

Or ...let me know what to do to stay safe and do the work properly

Many many many thanks

ok now...if we remove the existing acid, neturlized it with soda, and rince it clean with water..then apply this acrylic coating..in the future, after we are done with the work

will the acid spills react with the acrylic and become hazardous??

thank you all so much for the imput, I am struggling with this job and we start is soon, and I do not want any surprises

AND ..when you say "polish the acid out" do you mean, rince the areas well with water (perhaps power wash) and use a commercial buffer and black pad OR screen to pull out the area?

it is in a facility where on of the rooms has large containers that leak..so the acid is very fresh and when they move the containers that leak

we only have a few hours to clean and treat the concrete

Hi all! I am working on polishing a concrete slab. The existing slab has recent sulfuric acid stains and areas where the chemical is in high concentration. We need to clean this off the concrete completly in order to apply acrylic

I need to know the safest method to do this. I have been told,use baking soda and water? This seems wrong!!

Any help would be so great

Thanks
