| Oops--Removing Polyester resin Wax Sorry, I hit the enter key too soon!! Hi, I posted here a while back about catalyzing a 30 year old resin and members were quite helpful. I ordered MEK, Co and wax from a glass company in chicago and the floor came out great. I now have to remove the wax coating and I sanded it with medium grit sandpaper but it still seems slippery. I ordered marine vinyl and Ad-vanced Marine Adhesive (390 AD-Hesive) from Cabelas to cover the coated wood. i was curious if anyone recommends a solvent (acetone or styrene?) wipe for the wax removal in addition to the sanding before I apply the adhesive. I'd hate to get a bad bond so I'd like to do it right and only once. Thanks in advance for any help. FT |

| Most waxes are easily taken off with mere hot water and machine dish washing soap. The active ingrediant is 5% TSP Tri sodium phosphate. Many areas the tree huggers have had this removed from hardware stores , but the ladies lobby has far more clout , so it stays on sale for automatic dish washers. A good scrub of this with HOT water and a scotch brite pad (many grades for floor buffers , use the agressive one) works fine. FAST FRED |

| Thanks Fast Fred. Makes sense that hot water and surfactant would take care of the wax. Will try it out. FT |
