Monocouche render

Jamesmarshall said:

So I was doing a fsg clean yesterday starting spraying it all with Tfr mix got some on the wall finished the side I was doing probably another 30 seconds and immediately tried scrubbing it off

wouldn’t budge at all ended up scrubbing the ******* for longer than I was doing the plastic clean!

how do you get this off? Customer wasn’t very happy obviously and expressed it was a specialist company that applied it however I told the homeowner what I was using and he failed to inform me the render would suck it in like a vacuum and dry immediately 

never come across this before I will be much more careful as I’ve seen this render before and you can’t paint it apparently as that’s what I suggested 

anyways… I still got paid ???

Oops so what I’m asking is how to get it off ?

One application stuff can get it all different colours looks kind of like peddle render but very straight but has holes in ? Best way I can describe it lol never have to paint it stays same colour.

unfortunately this was cream and I had red tfr so doesn’t look too clever ??

Around 2 metres across probably an inch mostly diameter but a good thick bit towards the end.

looks pretty horrendous 

right above the front porch ?‍

I have no access to that information . I get it for next to nothing shall we say off The back of a lorry

I just wanted a quick fix it was literally 2 hour job I said I’d go back and help them reapply some more as access to it was difficult over The porch ( easily done with a stand off and know how) but wouldn’t delve into chemical make up and researching it for the sake of what they paid me

All I know is what the lad gives me is dark red and stinks of fish but works miracles on fsg or polycarbonate connys. It will stain plastic if left too long or mixed incorrectly

I'm not here to lecture anyone but I struggle to believe you are using a, potentially dangerous, chemical that you nothing about. I hope you manage to rectify this and learn a lesson from it.

Try and do a bit more research before you do your next job.

What is shocking that I won’t bother researching it etc? 
really don’t need to know it’s ph level or it’s chemical make up I’m using it safely very careful with plants animals etc , walls I assumed could be cleaned off but obviously not in this case and yes I’m transporting it safely.

they wouldn’t expect me to pay for it to be chipped off and redone again as they said may need doing worst case scenario  

ive offered to go back and assist with the removal of it if they’re struggling to get up at it providing they can find out how to remove it

they were smiling and joking when I left so really wasn’t that big of a deal I assume it can be rectified 

most window cleaners I know are a lot more cowboy than I’ll ever be and would have blocked there number immediately and never gone back

You do need to know it's chemical properties if using it like you have.

Tfr is traffic film remover not for fascias etc so how do you know any damage that may be done to render etc.

Also you should be carrying data sheets for any chemicals you are using ,this will give you vital information on first aid treatment for getting it in your eyes ,ingestion, on the skin etc , also provides information for  the emergency services if you are involved in an accident , and most commercial companies will request this information if working with any chemical on there premises , it will ask tell you how the chemical should be used dilution rates  , and what not to do or use it on , it also sets you apart  from joe bloggs who uses any old products and hasn’t got a clue what they are or how to use them safely , all to often accidents happen from the very situation you have described you don’t know what you are using , is it acid or alkaline??? How does it react with water ? Is it volatile ?? If you end up in hospital how can they treat any injuries if they dint know what you have been using ?? This is something that many do without thinking about the consequences, being in the Fireservice I am all to aware of the potential dangers of this type of situation , please dont take this as a lecture but look at it as a learning curve and make the needed adjustments , next time it might not be a stain on a wall it could be far more serious .
