Ba da bing (stripping)

So the process for stripping the floors wouldn't suck so bad if
1) we had an empty condo
2) we didn't have a 2 year old at home

So with those two things in mind you can bet that 99% of our work gets done with little to no natural light well after the hours of 10pm.

So the SoyGel gets spread onto the floor with a 4" paintbrush. A good healthy coat.

Then we wait at least 5 hours. My husband likes to leave it overnight (to my disagreement) and even though it's practically dry & 100% soaked up ~ i must admit ~ it still scrapes off well.

Scrape off gel & paint (like normal with any paint remover)

Wipe off excess

Scrub with scrub pad & peppermint scrub. Rinse with water. *

*this is a major deviation from 'the video'. They suggest purchasing a degreaser & renting a wet floor buffer thing and shop vac. Even if we thought we could bust it out in a weekend (~ which i don't think we could) It still adds a few hundred dollars I'm not exactly keen on spending. So given that the floor wasn't ever a garage and the only grease is my husbands elbow grease ~ we're gonna try and take the cheap way outta this process.
