floor stripper

Bro! You saved me so much money and time! I watched your video outside of another hardware store, called HD, drove there, got the floor stripper and did three rooms for $60 within six hours. Thanks!!!
Awesome
Greetings from Louisiana! After watching your video, I went to Home Depot and rented the scraper you used. I couldn’t believe how easy it removed the vinyl tile in my home! I used it in my kitchen, then on my bathroom floor, which had two layers of old vinyl tile that had been impossible to remove by hand. I’d tried a heat gun, hot iron, chemicals, everything. Nothing else worked. This machine removed the bathroom tile in less than an hour.
Now, this scraper won’t do every bit of the work for you. You’ll have to give it a steady push, especially with stubborn vinyl. The machine also vibrates, so be prepared to be vibrated a bit. But once you see all that old tile coming up, you’ll realize that renting this machine is one of the best decisions you could make. It’s fun to use!
The one I rented is called an Edco scraper. It’s the exact one used in this video, just with a different name. Probably the same manufacturer.
Thank you kindly for this video. I’m going to rerent this same scraper when I’m ready to remove the tile from my other bathroom.
awesome
Brother you might be a life saver. I tried pulling them off took over an hour to get 3 going to try this
how can you not like this guy? lol seems very honest
Young Dawg 😀😂Thank you sir
The blade on that machine cuts through that pull and stick tile like a hot knife through soft butter! Great video!
The sound is great and the quality of video is great... love the new program you are using... Really catches the eye especially at the beginning 😊👍🏻
Treva Potter And surely I will get faster with each video, this one took me hours
Very dramatic difference (in a great way) in your audio and video quality and the way you put your videos together.
Awesome! Can not wait for future videos!
Gold Coast Flooring | Carpet & Tile Care I think I got carried away with putting the video together and not putting in enough information
😆😂😆 It was still very helpful
wtf! thats the coolest thing ever! dude!
So, to people watching this video: You can just use a blow dryer or heat gun to melt the glue. It's much, much easier than using brut strength. It also doesn't leave much sticky residue. FYI.
Will that work on wood floors also?
@@marthagarcia182 no. I wish it did lol
Great video!! I didn't know you could rent something like that from Home Depot so inexpensively!!
Todd Abrams Yeah the rental section is actually pretty reasonable
Great video! For the sticky residue, to be able to crawl around on it I use floor patch powder and sprinkle it by hand then spread it with a broom. Then I'll skim coat the whole floor with the same patch compound and that eliminates the stickiness, and smooths everything over.
jc86 Part two to this video will be coming real soon, thank you for watching and thank you for the recommendation that awesome idea to sprinkle the patch on the floor Dry
@@FloorsbySouthernboys where's part 2?
I was in the floor business. That was the way I did it!
Thanks for another fine video. We are going to pull up the old tiles and replace with new ones. There is always the outline of the tile cause from dirt getting in there so we want to clean all that off as well. We were thinking we would do sections at a time, clean off the dirt lines then sprinkle baby powder over the sticky residue then seal it with that floor prep liquid. Is this a good way to do it or will the baby powder mess with the ability of the glue on the new tiles to stick even with the floor prep. Or do you have a better way to do it? Thanks.
💥Great info.
What can be done with the sticky residue that’s left behind.?? 🤟🏼
hello good video great your videos have helped me greatly saludes ... what brand and what machine model do you use for the old floor
here you go amzn.to/2VRyz0Z
That shit is still bad ass and good to know...much respect for holding us down in the flooring game bad ass knee pads btw only ones I wear
Don victory well thank you for the compliment, if you want your comments to stay on my channel you have to keep it clean, no cursing, thank you for watching and commenting I will be leaving this up long enough for you to see it and then deleting your comments because of the cursing I’m sorry I just don’t allow that on my channel
Just curious if you've tried this machine on felt backed sheet vinyl? Also, it's obvious from this video that you care about how things are eventually gonna look. Nice job
ja1doyle yes I have tried it on the old felt back vinyl and his slices it up just like it did that tile, that machine is great for pretty much any glue down product, those blades Come really sharp
just wondering how to make the floor non sticky anymore what do u use
I'm putting down CERAMIC Tile but I pulled off stick vinyl...so, is that what I use??? Thanks 🙂
Does it remove the glue as well?
Hi! Just wondering why peel-and-stick vinyl flooring isn't a good idea since in the beginning you mentioned it's dreaded, if one were to use a subflooring between the actual floor and the stick flooring, would that be a better idea? I'm renting my apartment and I'm looking for a renter-friendly way to change the flooring.
nxmratx That would be a lot of work and extra cost, he would be better off just putting down a click together vinyl plank
That looks like a concrete floor, is it the same ease taking it up on a plywood subfloor
Peel and stick tile IS a disaster to take up. I used a heat gun and a putty knife. The subfloor which is concrete was a bit tacky in the end. Killed the tackiness with a goo gone solution and all was good.
Mr. Koz Awesome
Amen to your comment, especially the Goo-Gone product that you mentioned. Great stuff, that Goo-Gone is! That stuff will cut through the sticky residue, good and proper!
Exactly. The more heat, the less glue is left on the floor.
Hey great video! Can you patch instead of removing the tiles? And what type of floor are you installing?
Jose Cabrera as long as you remove all of the loose tiles you can skim coat over everything else, this particular customer wanted it removed which was the best way to go anyhow, watch the other video how to remove peel and stick tile part two
@@FloorsbySouthernboys yea I watched it. It looks great man. And yeah its looks better removed. I've seen people patch the grout tiles to install engineer flooring planks.
Jose Cabrera Dang that’s pretty dramatic
Hello,
Can you please make a video or tell me how to remove the glue/residue from the peel and stick floors ? How did yiu clean the floors after ? Thanks !
Maybe this will help, this is what I always do. czcams.com/video/m7LYJayXOu8/video.html
Tip: Installing Vinyl Plank Flooring Waterproof in existing bath with peel and stick tile. (no use for glue remover underlayment is your choice.)
Take up tile, dust the floor with flour use a scrub brush in a circular motion
The flour will dry up the glue, sweep up mop easy and lay the planks. Maybe paint the floor to help seal. I watched the floor guy work concrete after removing tile he swept up dirt from other parts of work area threw it on glue and floor buffed with wire brush. Said he used also used fine sand. That’s where I got the flour idea, I used in our bathroom. Worked quite well, Wife told me to use All Purpose flour self-rising might cause the new floor to buckle. After 30 years you learn to say ok Honey and nothing else
@@jroymich Thank you for the tip, it worked great!!
Would this be safe to use over hardwood floors? My kitchen has 3 layers of vinyl stick tiles and I want to remove them and this looks like a fast way to do it. The floors are wood but I'm not sure of the condition of the flooring underneath
I don’t believe you will have too much luck trying to use that on a wood floor, I think that the blade will probably just try to dig in to the wood, that is just my guess I have never use that on anything but concrete
Can you do this with plywood underlay
MsCknott yes
Can we have a before and after on the tiles and see if there was any damage to the tiles?
Claire Geraci ?
No. He completely destroyed the tiles as he chipped them off the floor. Use heat instead! Blow dryer or heat gun.
From what I've been told, I have 2 different peel and stick layers on my floor. Will this work?
Yes ma’am
I have peel and stick vinyl tiles that are on top of ceramic tiles… can I use this without damage on the ceramic?
No ma’am
@@FloorsbySouthernboys so i ended up using something similar and it worked! The adhesive basically protected the ceramic but it did it’s job! Thanks!!! Great video!!
How do you remove the sticky residue on the floor that was underneath the tiles?
Looking for that answer also 🤟🏼
@@Jimmy_Cavallo It was a while ago, but I did it! I bought a bottle of goo gone at Home Depot and applied it to the floor, then removed it all with lots of paper towels, then degreased the floor with isopropyl alcohol. The modern goo gone is a lot more effective than the older version and it doesn't smell as much. The results are great, the floor is smooth and non-sticky. You'd still have to ventilate as much as possible and wear a respirator, especially because of isopropyl alcohol.
I hope you are still around from these videos! I was wondering what methods you would use to remove the glue and or sticky residue from wood floors after removing the peel n stick tile from it?
Quite honestly I’m not sure how to get the sticky removed that’s why I always skim over it with floor patch
@@FloorsbySouthernboys ok...thank you all the same! I wouldn't have known about the fast eddy had I not watched your video! It will be a tremendous help when needed!
@@marthagarcia182 😀👍
@@marthagarcia182 you can use a product like Goo Gone or similar products to remove the sticky residue
@@chidijade yes ...thank you!
I m a home owner and a jack of all trades, from the south. Don't BS a southern boy. No home owner is going to rent tools and experiment with his home floors. You have gone to extremes and it is not skilled labor you offer but a limited how too as a waist of time and money and find yourself another job, Please.
Can it dork
So what do you suggest?
Ignorant!
I would say that too, if I didn't want my clients to know how to fix their own problems
