Liked ecom's sunroom, decided to do similar for a customer.
Famous green carpet...  Grind off mastic  Had a wooden platform as a step...took back to shop to see what I could do....  Wife says, "why didn't we do this ten years ago??"

Very sharp. Feel like sharing any details. Colors and what do you use for grinding off the mastic. I just got a job that I need to do that and would appreciate advice. I'm sure those customers are extremely pleased!

Looks good. What colors did you use? How did you get a dark grout joint while using light colors? What did you use to score the grout joint? It looks wider than a tile scribe and thinner than tape.
thanks Rage |

Looks very nice,
As for the grout lines looks like he used 1/4 tape and skimed over the dark color with a light color before the trowel down. Once again beautiful work, that is why i like this product. Thanks for your time.

Yes, wooden step was o'layed. The project used the same colors as ecoms's sunroom. Exception is chocolate border. Skimmed with 4oz charcoal, taped pattern and skimmed with another 4oz charcoal, then 2oz palomino. Pulled tape and stained.
Grinding off mastic is easy...Not too thick a sprial grinder took care of the slab in under an hour. Thicker and you will have to use a mastic stripper first, scrape up mastic, then grind. Dennis |
