Can a power sander get paint and adhesive off of Concrete floors?
Filed Under (sanders) by admin
Cruegirl asked:


We are going to stain our kitchen floor which is concrete/cement. We are trying to prepare the floor to stain it, the floor previously had vinyl flooring on it so now the concrete has glue and also paint all over it. We tried the old fashioned way of putting an adhesive remover on it, letting it set and scraping it off with a razor blade. Well it doesnt exactly get everything off and it is going to take FOREVER to do, this kitchen is huge. So i was wondering if a Power sander that you can use while standing up would do the job. Except a clerk at Lowe’s told us that using a sander will open the pores of the concrete and then when we go to stain it , it will not go on right??? Any suggestions would be awesome.
