We used Restore as directed on our exterior cement stairs last year 50% is peeling off; how do I get rid of the rest and what is a better product?

We put it on wood and used Goof Off and scrap it off than used a belt sander to get it back to bare wood. Still looking for a better product. Lowe's salesperson told me they had dropped the Rust-oleum X10 & X4 products.

Hi, Sorry to hear that, Yes, my experience was horrible with that product too. I tried getting rid of it just on one area (stairs) and I simply used a very hard-bristle metal brush. I don't really know if there are solvents or something better, I would ask @ home depot. Sorry.Hope you asked for a refund, I sent Rust-Oleum a dissatisfaction email and they refunded the product price. Not a complete consolation since the time & effort is more expensive, but it's something.

I was able to easily scrape most of the Restore off my wooden deck with a putty knife. I then paid someone to power wash and hand sand to remove the rest. You may need something like a bristle brush for cement. I opted to replace it with Defy Extreme Wood Stain. I didn't feel comfortable trying Behr Deckover after the Restore experience. I don't have any recommendations for cement.

Sorry to hear that you're having issues. I have it on my cement step leading to my deck as well but it's still on there. Maybe just scrape it off? Or if you have any left over, reapply it?

I wish I knew. I have the same problem with the product that I used on my wood deck.

Goo Gone is a good product to remove adhesives. I have considered the possibility that the reason the glue didn't hold for me is that I live in a very arid climate. If that is the case, maybe blowing it with a hairdryer would work

I just went and felt the tape I put on my basement stairs (a couple years ago now). It's like there are little granules/grit sprinkled throughout, but they're beneath a sort of coating of soft polymer. (I've noted before how it doesn't even feel uncomfortable to bare feet as you go quickly down the stairs, and I guess that's why.) I have wood floors myself, and I'd be comfortable trying what you said, though I'd make a note to check after 6 months or so to see if that coating wears off and exposes the granules/grit, which then might be abrasive to the floors. You're putting a lot of concentrated weight on the bottom rails of a rocking chair, so it might wear off faster than just people walking down stairs.

I would try to remove most of it by scraping dry glue with appropriate tool that won't scratch floor tile. Further, I'd try to focus on any in the grout lines, since it might be harder for an adhesive remover to work on this spot. I think that if you have a large area to work that it would be better to ask a flooring specialist about what particular adhesive remover product is needed. I'm thinking there must be something that would be easier work. So, no, I don't think the GOO GONE would attack flooring glues that I've worked with.

I have found that it starts to come off of my laminate flooring stairway when mopped or scrubbed. I think it would do the same on a bath but even worse. I suggest first opaque bath mats, nonslip(throw them in the wash but NOT the dryer) or secondly soft, noslip adhesive strips(inexpensive but start peeling off with time). Whatever u choose read directions carefully for surface prepping to maximize adhesion.

time and ease. I used a few Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and had cleaner wax to rub it off. Good luck.

We had to use acetone. It gets it off fingers/hands and the wood floor pretty well, but don't get it on white walls, we still have a yellow stain where it accidentally dripped.

I use sulfamic acid cleaner sold at most home improvement stores in the tile section. A few table spoons, some hot water and several hours just sitting there will clean off the most stubborn scale.You may need a second round if it has built up quite a bit.

Have never used product by Amway, however I can tell you that restore a floor does a really good job on old hardwood floors, but may require a couple of coats if the wood is really dry. Sorry I couldn't provide any additional information.

Haven't had any problems. Just tape off areas for the over-spray. This stuff is SUPER strong. Used it on veneers and it is awesome!!

It usually wears off for me. Any regular floor cleaner should get it off. Anything with ammonia would probably do it. Sandpaper seems too harsh and a whole lot of work!

I had originally used Baher stain that is like paint (awful never will use it ever again). I actually sanded down my deck before I used the restore.

You can use white glue. I have heard that hot glue also works. Personally, I'd go for good old rubber cement. The main thing is to avoid any glue containing sulfer.

Id try something else like Semi-Chrome or Noxon. This is more of a Polish than a rust remover / Chrome Cleaner. Although it may do the trick, you can try it but Id say to buy a can, only if you have other uses for it... this stuff lasts a good bit and works great for shining stuff up.

Windex, BarKeepers Friend, or Ceramabrite all work great. Ceramabrite seems to last longer than the others. Probably the wax coating it leaves behind.

I've never had a problem at all with any residue sticking to my foot, but I agree that a little rubbing alcohol would remove it, if it happened. Mine always just peel right off when I want them too and never leave anything behind.

It cures in 24 hours, it's dry before that but you don't walk on it for 24 hours. After you apply it, place a 5 gallon bucket of water on the tile, then wipe the excess (which seeps out when the bucket is placed on it). Never had to remove after it was dry and wouldn't recommend trying either. All my tiles have held up and are solid, no issues to date.
