Yesterday I sat quietly working at the kitchen tables on a kit. My wife asked me (sweetly) if I could put a hold on that while she mopped the floor. Not wanting to dissappoint her the day before Mothers Day (here in the US), I said "Sure darling, mop away. I'll just go take a nap."
So I come back in the kitchen an hour later. She's gone- headed off to the store. The floor- linoleum with lots of those little recessed lines- is coated in...... FUTURE.
What the heck? Covering a
floor in Future?
So I get a little puzzled, then I realized she must've seen me using Future for my kits, and liked the way I did the panel lines.
Well since it was almost Mothers Day, and she had gone ot the trouble of laying down a nice coat of Future, I starting mixing up some wash. I was going to surprise her!
Not sure how much it would take, I mixed it up in a bucket. I used the end of the mop handle and a sock to lay it down on all the recessed lines in the floor.
After a quick dry, I pulled out a towel and began rubbing off the excess wash. I had the kitchen maybe 3/4 done- the most beautiful panel lines you ever seen ....
Then she came home.
Oh man...... was she gonna be excited.......
Or so I thought......
You ever try to do something nice for somebody and they just just don't appreciate it? Wow. Case in point here. Here I thought she WANTED panel lines in the kitchen. I mean, why else would you put Future down?
Anybody know a quick way to strip wash out of panel lines?
