| Cause: |
Solution: |
| Pad is too aggressive. |
Use recommended pads. |
| Pad is dirty. |
Clean pad with a wire brush or put pad in deep sink and spray off the build-up. |
| Restorer mixed and applied improperly. |
Follow restorer instructions on label. |
| Recoated before prior coat was dry. |
Allow 20-30 minutes between coats. High humidity may mean extra drying time. |
| Finish is applied on new tile before factory finish is stripped. |
Strip, rinse well with floor cleaner and apply finish. |
| Treated dust mop residue. |
Oil and silicone from treated mops can cause a layer of finish to separate from another. Use untreated dust mops. |
| Floor not properly cleaned and neutralized in stripping. |
Always rinse thoroughly with water and floor cleaner after stripping. |
| Wrong product for maintenance methods. |
Contact Armadillo to ensure you have the proper product. |
| Poor durability due to use of metal buckets. |
Metal buckets affect cross linking. Use bucket liners when using metal or galvanized buckets. |
