Don't believe for a minute that if something works, actually WORKS, that every adhesive and flooring manufacturer on the planet wouldn't be singing its praises.

The fact is, ALL these silicate magic potions have had failures, and the industry warns us against using them.

If any residue of your product is found on the slab where a failure has occurred, the manufacturer will immediately VOID the warranty and walk away.

That's the way the industry is set up right now. If you don't like it you should change it, and that doesn't start with us guys here on the bottom. You have to convince the big boys first, have them endorse it and remove the clauses stating your product is a contaminant, then come tell us how great it is.

Topically applied silicates are a contaminant when not properly installed, but then that is an INSTALL problem not a product problem. Manufacturers can not void a warranty that has been superseded.
