Blue Painters tape left stains on concrete floors
Hi,
I just uncovered my concrete floors which had 2 layers of building paper during construction and discovered that the blue painters tape that held the paper to the floor bled in a few places. I tried scrubbing it out with TSP but this only worked a little.
Can anyone recommend a stain remover that won't leave a residue? Or should I try and grind/sand the stains out?
Thanks,
/Doug

Marksr,
Thanks for the reply. I'm wondering if paint thinner will leave a residue that might subsequently show up when the concrete is painted with a soy-based stain (soycrete)?

As part of soycrete's recommendations for surface prep, they recommend ecoprocote Eco-Etch<SUP>tm</SUP> Gel Concrete Etch & Sealer Remover. This product etches to the depth of same as hydrochloric or muriatic acid and should solve your dye bleed in concrete problems.
