[paul flight]

Just back from dropping off materials to a showroom in guilford which had a flood 2 weeks ago. the builder has lifted the carpet and felt underlay. but has left a lot of fluffy underlay stuck to the screed!! :mad2: it seems to be stuck with vinyl adhesive :yikes: any way to remove this???before fixing decoupling matting .

Not sure about Sunday rates for you and your mate - You'll have to decide.

But ref the adhesive - heat is probably the answer to aid the removal or a scrabble machine if its a large area - Showroom ?. I would consider applying heat 600 Deg C and / scrabbler as well - your local hire shop might be able to help. A gas powered trolley type of flame thrower - watch the glass doors and edges etc ?

Other than that - Brandon Hire do a Turbo Stripper - quoted £150 a day - might be cheaper in the long run

Hi Whitebeam

I know lots of folks say - ' Don't scrabble screeds ' - Ajax 123 especially !! However I think that there are occasions when it is necessary and the only practical course of action. ie removal of the surface layer when it is ' contaminated ' with sticky stuff and difficult to removal gunk.

So guys - Why not ' scrabble ' ?? It's only a word game after all !

:huh2: ?

 

[Richard Edwards]

Come on guys - Why Not Scrabble Screeds ? Don't be shy - I want to know why thats all - I suck up information you guys give me like a grouting sponge ! :drool5: Does Ajax have any thoughts

use a diamond cup sander with a hoover you will take it off in no time we can do about 40,50 m2 per hour

it's a bit late here,but screed is usaly a 4-1 3-1 sand and cement mix, not concrete it is not meant to be a hard-waring surface just a flat substrate to recieve carpet /tile's or what-ever finished ,so is therefore weak

 

[White Room]

As above

If its a thick coating use a PCD cup on a grinder, if its thin use the diamond cup.

I dont recomend scabbling screeds either but i dont think u have much option here.
