This hour is 5 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: brought to you by Zollar Pumps and boy I was 6 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: down at the Dollar factory. It wasn't I mean probably 7 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: two months ago. Outstanding and very very impressive. By far, 8 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: one of the most quality pumps you can find. The 9 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: attention to quality and attention to detail is unmatched when 10 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: it comes to pumps. And you know what usually fails 11 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: on a pump is the switch, And they test all 12 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: switches all the time, the fanatical about it, and that's 13 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: why they have keep lowering and lowering. Probably I don't 14 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: know for sure, but I'm sure they have one of 15 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: the best switches on the market, which is very important 16 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: to me.

All right, let's 20 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: go to Dan. Dan. 21 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: Welcome, Hey Gary, how are you doing, Buddy? 22 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: Doing fine? Thank you? 23 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 2: Good? Hey Gary, I got a Florida home. It has 24 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 2: a tiled ruff. One of my valleys failed about a 25 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 2: year ago. 26 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: I had a. 27 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 2: Company come out. They pulled the tiles up on both 28 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 2: sides and they redid the valley. About another I would say, 29 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 2: six more valleys. Is there any suggestion of putting anything 30 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 2: in the valleys to prolong the life? 31 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: No, not really prolong the life. I mean, what did 32 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: they do on your first one? Did they add flashing 33 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: or what did they do? 34 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: Oh? They they pulled the tile up on both sides 35 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: of the valley where it goes down the roof, and 36 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 2: then they read, put a paper down, the tar paper 37 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: down in the valley, and then put all the tile 38 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: back down. 39 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: So was there, yes, there was, Yeah, it was the value. 40 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: Did it fail? 41 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, it did fail. It's you know, it's got like 42 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: the granules in it, but yet it failed to where 43 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 2: it my ceiling came down in one of the bedrooms. 44 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 2: It leaked that bad. Yes, And I almost thought about 45 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 2: and I don't know if this would be a good 46 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 2: idea in the other valleys. I noticed some people in 47 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 2: the neighborhood. They have like it's not you know, the tile, 48 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: but it's like a cap that goes in the valleys 49 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 2: and it looks like they covered them up. But what 50 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: I thought about doing, and I don't know if this 51 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: would be a good idea, is spray foam in the 52 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 2: valleys to close them up. 53 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: M I don't know if the spray foam is going 54 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: to tolerate that exterior u V rays and all that. 55 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: Does it need a filler? Is that what you're telling me? 56 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say a filler just to close the 57 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 2: valleys up in case they failed. The roof's about twenty 58 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: five years old. And the cost, you know, I would 59 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: if I pull the tile off, I'm gonna shingule it. 60 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: There's because the cost is just outrageous to do the tile. 61 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: Well. Yeah, there's even some really good looking composites out 62 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: there now that simulate the tile. You might take a 63 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: look at it. Also. I think the one of the 64 00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: biggest brand names is Da Vinci. Yeah, I've heard you, Okay, Yeah, 65 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: I mean that might be something that. 66 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 2: Right. I'm just not sure if my association would allow that. 67 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 2: The associations just you know, they're tough. 68 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: Would they allow a shingle. 69 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, they would allow shingle, But I don't know that 70 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: they would allow like assimilated type tile or something like that. 71 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think foam would be the thing. One 72 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: of the things I would look at, I guess, and 73 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: I can't see the roof, so a little bit of 74 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: a disadvantage. I would look at maybe creating like they 75 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: call them a saddle. It's a metal saddle, so it's 76 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: coming off the flashy and creates almost like a flat 77 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: metal roof, if you will. But it's just it's not 78 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: the whole roof. It's it's just where the two roofs meet, 79 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: or where the roof and the part of the house meet. 80 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: But maybe you can just google roof saddle, valley saddles 81 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: and see if that's something that would you know, and 82 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: you would you would get all that protection that you're 83 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: thinking like the foam would. But I don't think that 84 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: foam's really going to hold up against the Uh yeah, 85 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: the sun is probably more so than the water. 86 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, because that's I mean, that's my main concern 87 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: is keeping the water. You know, it's all there because 88 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: there's so many different cuts in the roof when it 89 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 2: comes down, and it just seems I just hate to 90 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 2: have another one, and then I get another ceiling coming 91 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 2: down in the house though, especially in one of the 92 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 2: main areas. 93 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: So some of them are called saddles. There's other things 94 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: that are called I think it's called a valley pan, 95 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: a metal valley pan orus. And again it's not like 96 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: the whole roof. It's like two feet wide, probably better 97 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: if it's like three feet wide, right, and it just 98 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: prevents what you're experiencing, even water wicking elsewhere. It's just 99 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: a valley or a mental pan that's taking that water 100 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: away from that area, right. 101 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like I would have to pull the valley, 102 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: pull the tiles up again though on each side of 103 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: the of the valleys when it's coming down the roof. 104 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: Probably would. Yeah, yeah, you probably would. I think on 105 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: the foam, I know they use foam, but I think 106 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: they mainly use it. But are you just trying to 107 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: close that or are you trying to protect that whole valley? 108 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 2: I guess it's the big I'm trying to close it 109 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 2: up to prevent the water. So if that, if that 110 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 2: paper does fail again, it just closes it up. So 111 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: I'm not getting any water in those in those areas 112 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 2: when when the water is running down the roof into 113 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: that you know, that valley there. 114 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well I know they use foam. I'm not 115 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: really sure where they use it, but I the only 116 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: thing I would be concerned is just the exposure of 117 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: the sun. If where you're feeling that it's not exposed 118 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: to that, maybe that would be an answer. Yeah, okay, 119 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: so all right, A couple things to check, Yeah, a 120 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: couple things to check the metal pan in the foam 121 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: and make your again, I can't see the roofs. I 122 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: may having a hard time trying to tell you how 123 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: to fix it, so right, but maybe one of those 124 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: pasts will take you to the answer. 125 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 2: Great, Gary, Thank you so much, buddy. You have a 126 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: good weekend. 127 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: All right, you do the same, Thank you much, appreciate it. 128 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: All right, we got a spot for you if you'd 129 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: like to jump on board. It's eight hundred eight two 130 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: three eight two five five And when we come back. 131 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: Interesting the call about painting brick, and even in our neighborhood, 132 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: and our neighborhood's probably twenty years old, there's a lot 133 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: of people, not a lot, but there's multiple people that 134 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: are doing just that, and there's some precautions, you know, 135 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: you have to take. We didn't get into that we 136 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: were just talking about the finish. Do you go semiglas 137 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: or do you go satin or do you go flat? 138 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: My suggestion would be flat. You're gonna make it less 139 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: noticeable the imperfections, the brick lines and things like that. 140 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: But there's other things to take into consideration. And one 141 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: thing that's really big that you got to know is 142 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: when you paint perrick, you own it that way. That's 143 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: a forever okay. So make this decision, you know, and 144 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: make sure you do your research on exactly how the 145 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: proper way to paint it. We didn't even cover that. 146 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: That's what we'll do when we come back.

Today, as promised, 183 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: we'd go through a little bit of the procedure of 184 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: painting brick after the call of do I use flat 185 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: or do I use a eggshell finish? The pros and 186 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: cons that I can think of is, you know, one 187 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: of the things we're seeing is more people paint brick, 188 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: and the reason is is really updates. To look. We're 189 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: seeing a lot of white houses now with black trim 190 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: and kind of you know, covering up the red brick 191 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: if you will. It's a little dated. My house is 192 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: not a red brick, but it's a light red. So 193 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: I guess it's kind of a red brick. If you 194 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: have a lot of miss matched color of brick, certainly 195 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: that that's a pro you cover it up. It increases 196 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: the curb appeel and the resale peel, especially right now. 197 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: And the cons are are pretty understandable. You can't go 198 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: back once it's painted. It's painted. You could trap moisture 199 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: if it's done incorrectly, but there is a correct way 200 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: to do it, which I'm going to go through. And 201 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: also remember that a brick house is I'm not going 202 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: to say one maintenance free, but it's very very low maintenance. 203 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: You might have to patch up the mortar someday you 204 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: might have a crack in it, but it doesn't really 205 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: need a lot of maintenance. A painted brick home will 206 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: require some maintenance, probably every ten years or so. It 207 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: may need repainting, It may need some scraping and touch up. 208 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: So there is that if you're painting anything. We always 209 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: talk about preparation being the key. Brick's no different. You're 210 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: gonna have to really get it cleaned and a lot 211 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: of people will pressure wash it. You want to use 212 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: low pressure, big time low pressure two thousand psi period, 213 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: nothing higher and it's gonna have to drive before the 214 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: painting is done. So whatever your dryest months are, that's 215 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 1: when I tackle that project. It's gonna again it's gonna 216 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: require to drive for at least two days, and three 217 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: would be even better. Right, And you're gonna have to 218 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: make if it is a you know, if it's a 219 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: brick home that's been a while and you haven't done 220 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: much maintenance to it, you're gonna have to take a 221 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: look at it. You're gonna have to do the patching 222 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: now before you paint it. You're gonna have to fill cracks. 223 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: You can use a masonry cock. You can replace damage 224 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: mortar called tuck pointing. And if you got effluorescence, we 225 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: get that call a lot of specially on chimneys. That's 226 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: that walled white salty powder. You can remove that and 227 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: you should remove it. You have to remove it before painting, 228 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: and you could use a masonry cleaner. Sometimes a ratic 229 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: acid base product will clean that. And then the one 230 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: thing that I think is mandatory. We've talked a lot 231 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: about how paints have gotten better and how they last longer, 232 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: and how they're self priming. Even if it is self 233 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: priming paint you don't want to use self priming paint 234 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: on brick without using a primer, and there is some 235 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: great primers out there. I know Sherman Williams makes one 236 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: called Luxon, and it just helps with the adhesion of 237 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: your finished coat of paint, which is totally totally important. 238 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: And the paint, of course should be breathed well. You 239 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: don't want to trap any water in because water does 240 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: get behind brick, for sure, and if water gets in there, 241 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: it'll create Even though this paint you want to make 242 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: sure is breathable, you don't want to use a solvent paint. 243 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: You don't really want water behind your so a masonry 244 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: paint that is the last Americ coating with the lux 245 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: On primer, that would be my best suggestion. And I 246 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: think that's about it, But that's kind of the tips 247 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: I would use for sure. And just remember when you 248 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: tackle that project, you own it right and again, if 249 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: there's any repairs need, like the brick is spawling, just 250 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: get that patch before you paint it. All right, Let's 251 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: go to Julie. 252 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 4: Julie, welcome, Bye, Yes, I have a question. 253 00:15:52,880 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 5: Hello, Yes, So I have a two story wall of windows, 254 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 5: probably twenty five thirty feet, it goes to a peak 255 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 5: and my house gets super hot, and I want to 256 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 5: know if there's some kind of a film that does 257 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 5: not hinder my view. I don't want any dark film 258 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 5: or like sunglass, yeah, colored films, something that will prevent 259 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 5: the heat from coming into my house like a greenhouse. 260 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, how old's the windows? You think. 261 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 5: I got it done in two thousand and eight? 262 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: So okay, I don't recall what kind of glasses in 263 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: those windows, do you? 264 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 3: I do not. 265 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 5: I believe they're double paint, but I'm not sure. 266 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: Okay, hell yeah, okay, So to answer your question, yes, 267 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: there is film. There's all kinds of film. They do 268 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,119 Speaker 1: have the mirror film, they do have the real dark film. Obviously, 269 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: the darker it is, the more effective it is. But 270 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: there are low emmissiony films or low eglass films that 271 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: can be put over the windows. I think somebody's you know, 272 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: looking it up. There's different ratings on solar heat gain 273 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: and how much it deflects. That's what you'd be shopping for. 274 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: So if you go online and look for NFRC ratings 275 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: for windows, okay, just for windows. So a good nfr 276 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: C rating for a brand new low eglass window now 277 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 1: for a double hung is probably about point two eight. 278 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: That's really good. I mean, it hasn't been that long ago. 279 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: You couldn't get it below point four zero. So then 280 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: callplace like Genie Window and they are a big distributor 281 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: of some very high films. I would not tackle this 282 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: project yourself. And they're gonna they're gonna come out with 283 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 1: a book. They're gonna show you all these films. They're 284 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 1: gonna talk about diminishing solar heat gain, and they're gonna 285 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: educate you, and then you can make the decision of yes, 286 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,719 Speaker 1: I want to do that because it's really important, especially 287 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: with that much windows in the back, you know, fading 288 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: of carpets and furniture and heat. I mean, you know 289 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: you're it sounds like you got to do something there. 290 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: So I would definitely explore. But that's what you're looking for, 291 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: diminishing solar heat gain. And then of course the pigmentation 292 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: is important to you don't want to look like your 293 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: house is wrapped in a big sunglass or a mirror 294 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: glass or something like that. So and then you'll be 295 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: able to see whether that's a project you want to tackle. 296 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 6: Okay, thank you, so much. 297 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: All right, you're quite welcome.

I'm a professional painter 355 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 4: and I was here hearing your comments about painting bricks 356 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 4: and you were correct. It took. One of my points was, yes, 357 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 4: the preparation and primer is very important. I would the 358 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 4: locks on primer is is good servin Williams has another 359 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 4: product called Adhesion and Bonding Primer, which is made for rough, porous, 360 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 4: hard to stick surfaces. 361 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: Okay, but he would go even you know, and then stronger. Hey. 362 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's specifically made for tough to stick surfaces. 363 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: I guess, especially if you hit a little efflorescence on 364 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: their own. 365 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, it will actually soak soak that right 366 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 4: up and just bond it all together. 367 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: Cool, good, thank you. 368 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 4: I mean, as far as the paintchines go, you know, 369 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 4: a lot of people prefer the look of flat, as 370 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 4: you said, But what it comes down to really is 371 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 4: the more you go up in the scale of sene, 372 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 4: you go from statin, semi eggshell, semigloss gloss all that 373 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 4: you're what you're doing is you're adding enamel to the paint, 374 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 4: and that's another reason why paint gets more expensive as 375 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 4: you go up in that as well. But the enamel 376 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 4: adds durability and it also makes the paint dry harder, 377 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 4: So you're going to have a much more it's going 378 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 4: to be easier surface to wash off, it's going to 379 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 4: last longer on the exterior, it's going to resist mold better, 380 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 4: all those things. So having some kind of achine is 381 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 4: actually a bit better for your exterior, although people do 382 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 4: prefer flat for the look because people don't like to shine. 383 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: So I'm a little familiar with some of the paint 384 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: brands out there, and I mentioned the Sherman Williams, and 385 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: you helped me with that other primer like in their 386 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: Emerald brand or branding the the Emerald product. I know 387 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: that has a a sheeting action to it. It's kind 388 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: of flat. I don't know exactly what the percentage of 389 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, sheene is, but what. 390 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 4: It's called matt so they don't it's not a true flat. 391 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't have like a six percent sheen or something. 392 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: It's it's really small. 393 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 4: But yeah, okay, And what that does is it gives 394 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 4: it its h added scrubability and vulnerability. 395 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: So when I said flats. 396 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 4: Impossible to scrub, but like you said before, it touches 397 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 4: up perfectly. 398 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: Right, right, And I guess I called it flat difference 399 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: that was the one I had in mind, would. 400 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 4: Be right, And that's the other one of the downside 401 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 4: sides of using a paint with a scene is when 402 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 4: you touch it up, you do see it. Because when 403 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 4: you touch it up, you're just adding more scene to 404 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 4: already shining paint. So that's why you see it and 405 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 4: you don't see it on flat. 406 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: Right right, right, So you're you're saying, go with a 407 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: little higher sine. 408 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,719 Speaker 4: It will last longer, be more durable, and and a 409 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 4: lot more cleanable, say like a sprinklers or as you're 410 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 4: living in an area with mildew m hm. 411 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: So on that, Matt finish on the Emerald, I'll go 412 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 1: back to that. You know. One of the advantages that 413 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: I know when it was developed. I was actually at 414 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: Truman Williams was learning, you know, as they were bringing 415 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: it to market. One of the big things is the 416 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: clean ability of that particular paint, even though it was 417 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: a little flatter than us satin. Let's say, and do 418 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: you think that would stain? Do you think that would 419 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: be hard enough or no? 420 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely, you know, because that's the Duration 421 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 4: is the top of the line. I mean, they only 422 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 4: have Emerald is a little bit more expensive than Duration, 423 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 4: but right, but that's that's as good as you can buy, 424 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 4: you know, out of anywhere in the world. 425 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: Of course, yeah, yeah, I agree with you. I just 426 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: want to make sure we're getting the you know, the 427 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: right information out. That's always the key. And you know, 428 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: I totally agree with the primer and letting it dry. 429 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: And once you paint it, you're married to it. How 430 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: often do you see, Pat, that that after painted needs maintenance, 431 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: And I know it varies. I'm just curious what you see. 432 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 4: No, you were spot on when you said about every 433 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 4: ten years you do a little bit of scrape thing 434 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 4: and a little bit of touch up, and then it's 435 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 4: depending on your environment, it could be fifteen years or 436 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 4: even twenty years before you have to completely redo it. 437 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 4: And that also is very depending on your maintenance. You know, 438 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 4: areas around the ground, you know, your window sills, if 439 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,959 Speaker 4: your brick fills, the places that get a little bit 440 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 4: more sun than the other areas, and you keep up 441 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 4: on your maintenance and that'll save you a lot of 442 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 4: years and having to redo the whole thing. 443 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's good advice, quite honestly. No matter what 444 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: your painting, even if it's a woodhouse, you know, staying 445 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: on top of your maintenance is certainly always key. So hey, 446 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: thank you much. I appreciate your call. Pat. Thank you 447 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: have a great weekend.

But folks, we cannot forget what 456 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: our house has taught us the last two or three weeks. 457 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: I really hope we don't. Last week we had a 458 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: lot of people sometimes calls we're a little panicky, you know, 459 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: when we were talking about an ice dam and we 460 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: got explaining about insulation, and then I've had quite a 461 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: few emails over the last month or so with holy cow, 462 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: the energy bills and things. I really think everybody really 463 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: needs to take a breath and start the process of 464 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: finding out what you even have in your home. If 465 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: you're getting killed with energy bills, sure, if you had 466 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: ice damps and quick snowmelt off the roof of ventilation 467 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: and insulation, don't forget those issues because they're going to 468 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: need to be addressed. We just can't ignore it. I 469 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: know for many of us it was a cold and 470 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: wild and wooly winter, but it's not. You know, the 471 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: the problems that happened were caused by inefficiencies, and our 472 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: house was telling us that. And then when we get 473 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: out of you know, get that behind us. You know, 474 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: we we got to latch onto it and repair that 475 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: or address that particular problem. All right, let's go to Pat. Pat. Welcome, Hey, 476 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: good morning, Gary morning. 477 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 7: So my question is I have a stamped concrete patio 478 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 7: that's probably about twenty years old. 479 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: Okay, I steeled it every two years, good. 480 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 7: And I did our roll on seiler from you know, 481 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 7: the big box stores. Okay, but I see the color 482 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 7: is starting to fade on that. Do you have any 483 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 7: any ideas on what I can do because the color 484 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 7: is starting to fade on the on the on the patio, 485 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 7: and yeah, see what I can do for that before 486 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 7: a reseal it again in the spring. 487 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, you were really doing good at two years though, 488 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: So that that's good to know. A lot of people 489 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: they tell you three and most people wait five. So 490 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: congratulations on that, quite honestly, so it's minimal A quick 491 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: test here for you, Pat, is to really take when 492 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: when you get some warmth, take a hose and wet 493 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: that patio down and see if you can see any 494 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: of the fading or just makes that color pop again. 495 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: I know it sounds weird, but it'll answer something, and 496 00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: that is if it looks good when it's wet. I 497 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: don't know what kind of seiler where you were using. 498 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: If you were using a ceiler made for stamp concrete, 499 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: it probably had a gloss to it or achine to it. 500 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: And when you use that again, it'll make that color 501 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: pop just like it's wet. 502 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 2: Okay. 503 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: So, and I've had to have that proved to myself 504 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: several times. I'm going like, seriously, now, if you haven't 505 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: done it for ten years and it's bleached out and 506 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: it's almost white, that might be another story. You might 507 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: have to put a little tint or something in there. 508 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: There are some tints. I've never done it, and I 509 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: don't even know how it's used. I just know there 510 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: can be some tint either put on the concrete or 511 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: put in the ceiler, and I don't know which one. 512 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: I just know it's out there. But in most cases, 513 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: even when it looks like it's a basket case, and 514 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: it's really tired. People spray water on there and go, 515 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: oh yeah, it looks fine. I could just put the 516 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: sealer on it and it will be fine. 517 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 2: Okay. 518 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 7: Is that as far as a tint? Is that something 519 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 7: I can do myself? Or do I have to reach 520 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 7: out to someone else, like a professional to do that? 521 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: You know, I'm just not familiar with what that tin is, 522 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: Like I said, I just know it exists. If you 523 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: want to call a distributor like Janelle Concrete or something, 524 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure they have it where they sell the professionals. 525 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: Like I said, I don't know if that just goes 526 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: on the concrete or it goes in the seiler itself. 527 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: So I don't know. My guess is when you find it, 528 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,719 Speaker 1: you can read it and learn about it and probably 529 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: do it yourself. There's not I wouldn't assume too much 530 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: magic to it, but you're gonna have to find out 531 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: and what it is and how to apply it. I 532 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: just know it's out there. Okay, all right, very good. 533 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 7: But well yeah, I'll just do my best. 534 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, bet you take care no matter 535 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: if you have exposed to aggregate or you have stamp concrete. 536 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm telling you do the host test, just wet it down. 537 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: And I have done that, and I went, WHOA, that 538 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: looks really good. That's what I wanted to look like. 539 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: And applied to sealer and bingo, and I was doing 540 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: it every three years.

All right, let's go to 589 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,359 Speaker 1: Meg Meg welcome, all right, thank you for. 590 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 8: Taking my call. So I wanted to make my basement 591 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 8: a livable space. Okay, So I had I had a 592 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 8: concrete floor, and I had the epoxy coding place put 593 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 8: down on it, and unfortunately I wanted to do some 594 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 8: other remodeling down there. And the guys that were going 595 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 8: to do it, wouldn't do it unless I put some 596 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 8: waterproofing in because the concrete walls were blowing. So unfortunately 597 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 8: they had to I got the kind of waterproofing system 598 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,239 Speaker 8: where it's inside the house, not outside the house. They 599 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 8: had so they had to cut up the floor, my 600 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 8: brand new floor. So I kind of like did it backwards. 601 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 8: I didn't anticipate this happening, right, but consequently, so they're 602 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 8: all done, but there's areas where I'd like to There's 603 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 8: that there's a concrete on the flooring and I don't 604 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 8: know what to use to get it off. 605 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 1: Well, how thick is it? 606 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:57,280 Speaker 8: Not very thick? It's like, uh like maybe somebody stepped 607 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 8: on some you know, step on the piece of the 608 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,280 Speaker 8: concrete and the flat it's not real thick. 609 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 1: Well, it'll be a challenge. I mean, there's not something 610 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: you spray on for the most part and just wipe 611 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 1: it off. First thing I would do is probably take 612 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: a plastic scraper like a plastic putty knife, don't use 613 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,879 Speaker 1: a metal one, and see if you can just kind 614 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,919 Speaker 1: of scratch it off if you will, that'd be one. 615 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: The next thing I'd do is maybe try warm water 616 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: and a mild detergent. Let us sit on there for 617 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 1: about twenty minutes and see if you can scrub it off. 618 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: Sometimes that'll happen if it's really hardened concrete or mortar. Again, 619 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 1: you can try that, but you're probably gonna have to 620 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: go to something stronger like white vinegar. That'll kind of it. Yeah, yeah, 621 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:57,840 Speaker 1: diluted moratic acid one to ten mix and let us 622 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,120 Speaker 1: sit on there for about ten minutes. That's obviously the 623 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: mradic acid is certainly stronger than the vinegar. Don't let 624 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: sit on there too long, though, because it'll dull the epoxy. 625 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 1: So you know, I mean, you can't use a steel brush, 626 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: you can't use a grinder, you can't use moratic acid straight, 627 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:26,240 Speaker 1: that's for sure. You can't really use a pressure washer, ummm. 628 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,800 Speaker 1: So really just scraping it and probably a ratic acid 629 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 1: one to ten is gonna be your best bet. 630 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 8: So what about you said don't use a metal brush, 631 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 8: but what about a non metal brush? 632 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's why I said. If you use like, 633 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 1: you know, like a vinegar or something along those lines, 634 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: or or the mradic acid, you get what they call 635 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 1: a palmyra scrub brush. That's a woody fiber scrub brush. 636 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: It's a short fiber maybe an inch long three quarters 637 00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: of inch long, and it's a real stiff brush. That's 638 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: that would be what you would use. 639 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 8: This was a very painful lesson to learn. 640 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well that's how we learn. That's what I 641 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 1: and we're all there. I hear you, but very much. 642 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 1: All right, very good, thank you.
