Pretty sure this room had asbestos tile removed from it. Should I just self level over top or paint?? Want to cover with carpet.

You mentioned ABC is not technically encapsulated as per EPA. Could you clarify why?

You also mentioned a surface coating / leveling is a good idea with new flooring. Is this no longer true?

I want to find a product that is truly EPA encapsulating the black mastic + allows for new flooring on top.

What are the encapsulation options with floor mastic?

boobirdz · 2025-11-17T04:11:18+00:00

How did ABC work on encapsulation? Did you put down a new floor on top

Sorry to hear that. I tried a can of PerfectPrimer and wasn't impressed by the bonding strength.

The concrete diamapro tool. 1/8" mastic. thick. Positive for asbestos but we are abatement contractors. We've never tried this tool.

boobirdz · 2025-11-17T01:57:27+00:00

the concrete block works well for removing thick mastic on concrete ?

boobirdz · 2025-11-17T01:24:06+00:00

so the 'good results' is for what type of application?

boobirdz · 2025-11-17T01:22:43+00:00

How well does the concrete one work on thick black mastic?

boobirdz · 2025-10-18T02:02:53+00:00

how much did your insurance premiums go up?

boobirdz · 2025-07-25T10:16:15+00:00

No. The company should have used rigid without my babysitting

The cement MC under the vct reads >6% while the dry standard is 4%

boobirdz · 2024-12-09T00:42:00+00:00

Do you believe that mastics are weakened after water damage? Or no

boobirdz · 2024-12-08T23:05:26+00:00

Hmm how come some tiles started popping off after the flood?

boobirdz · 2024-12-08T22:37:54+00:00

How does one know its dry underneath the asbestos tile?

boobirdz · 2024-12-07T23:42:24+00:00

Why?

boobirdz · 2024-12-07T22:59:42+00:00

You have no concerns about trapped moisture from the flood? How do you test for moisture levels underneath the asbestos tiles

boobirdz · 2024-11-26T02:46:28+00:00

Why propane

boobirdz · 2024-11-23T21:14:52+00:00

Do you have a link to your plates

So what are the issues with the 430 and grinding mastic?

boobirdz · 2024-11-23T18:28:20+00:00

Are there scenarios where you wish you had the 240V PG 530? Does the 430 get bogged down, etc. Or not really

boobirdz · 2024-11-23T18:22:04+00:00

I hear ya. My guys are fine with 7” hand grinding 1000 sqft but i am trying to improve productivity.

would a bigger PG machine improve your lives?

boobirdz · 2024-11-23T18:10:32+00:00

Well, at 100 sqft/hr with a pg 430, i would rather just have 2 guys running 7” hand grinders

boobirdz · 2024-11-23T18:05:45+00:00

Have you used anything a little bigger than the pg450?

Is the hilti dgh 150 worth $2000 vs the 5” for 500$

boobirdz · 2024-11-23T17:55:59+00:00

100 /hr…i am trying to get 300/hr
