Will this product turn a semi-thick buildup of stage 3 creo into something a rotary cleaning kit will easily knock loose inside a masonry flue? Thx!

Don't know about the regular flue, I have a stainless inside my masonary flue and if I use this every 3 days, it seems to be doing the job. I think the secret is to start with a clean flue and then use meeco every 3 days as it says to do.

It turns it crusty for removal, even thick build up. I do notice some other residue that coats the inside of the chimney even after cleaning.

never had that much build up myself, but a friend I loan some product to have a similar build up...after a couple really hot fires and a few scoops, most just brushed out

One year after cleaning my chimney the creosote did not appear to come completely off and appeared to be slightly shining. I then used this product adhering to the instructions and the following year after sweeping the flue, I could see the color of the tiles. I can not say I had stage 3 but certainly, unattended I would say it was at least on its way.

While it certainly is a possibility, I cannot honestly answer that question as the only experience Ive had with a masonry chimney was a falling apart brick chimney from the 30's on my old house which I never tried this product on. I will say that stage 1 and 2 are easily removed with a simple steel flue brush from a stainless triple wall chimney after using this product. I would say to air on the side of caution and have your chimney professionally cleaned, though, as firing your stove (even with this product on top of the fire) with stage 3 in the pipe could easily start a catastrophic chimney fire.

Yes it will if used regularly. it has turned hard creosote that required hard pounding into much softer compound. It is MUCH easier to get through and there is a lot less of it after the use of Meeoc red devil.

It should but if the build up it very think it may take a couple of treatments and rotary cleaning.

No, that is not a good idea......too caustic. They do, however, sell a product made specifically to remove the creosote Tom the glass. It works great!

dear john...letter.. ha?ha? sorry i just had to.. the crack-pac. stopped at the dirt for me when i used it. it states on the directions that if there is space behind you can/will loose it. if your mud jack filled the void behind the crack you should be ok. its too expensive to loose and you will pretty much know in the 1st tube. as you pump it in it should fill not fall out. if mud/dirt is not present behind you will have to find access somehow behind the crack. it worked great for me on a wall.. i have not tried floors (yet) good luck!!!

Definitely. But be sure to follow the directions when using the marine-grade degreasing kit before applying POR-15. Use a good set of gloves; for if you get some on your skin, nothing will get it off but time... a loooong time. Sand and then fine sand the surface before starting the project. Place some kitchen Glad-wrap over any unused POR-15 and press the lid on tightly. Store it in your refrigerator for future use. This is not an ordinary product. My air handler rusted out 5 years ago, and I saved it with this amazing stuff. I can't speak too highly about it.

I use a creosote fighter in my stove because I burn coal and pine which tend to create more than hardwoods. I put in about two scoops every other day. I haven't noticed any creosote build up.

Hi I'm Moor concerned That you may have a loss of pressure for a effective cleaning due to lower pressures of electric models. I use a generic gas 3100 psi. and I due notice a bit of a drop in pressure. the wand it self for me is awesome. I'm a painter and power wash every job before painting, no moor ladders for those two story houses.

I found the prefilter to be a bit loose fitting as well. My laser particle counter confirmed that the unit was blowing about 1,200 particles per cubic foot, indicating that some air is bypassing the filters. I scotch taped the entire prefilter around the edges, and the count dropped to about 100 particles, so almost a complete seal. I would recommend you try this to get better results.

worked very well--if you go slow and use lots of water--on glass bricks. ceramic is basically glass fired onto a clay substrate. I have never tried it but I do not see a problem having used the drills to go through ceramic tiles. The only glass produce which would cause a problem would be 'tempered glass'. Once glass is tempered it is doubtful that the whole piece would not shatter--that is what it is designed to do. please tell me how the project went. dantoad@hotmail.com thank you, dan

I have ceramic tile in my kitchen & bathrooms & it seems to be cleaning the grout just fine. If you have something heavy just hit the trigger that gives you a big blast of steam. The more you hit the trigger the more water you use but it gets heavy grime up good especially on hard wood.

I can't picture your situation. The kit is intended for cleaning a chimney pipe, e.g., out of a pellet stove. Thus the name "SootEater".The brush (on the end of the flex shaft) pushes up through the chimney pipe to loosen soot and clean the chimney. Are you trying to use it for cleaning a dryer exhaust?

I have used ot overhead without any problems. Applying the first coat thin seems to work. Having used literally every product on tbe market I can say this is the best. Other non caustics are either not effective, dry ouf, or leave nasty residue amd clean up reauires mineral spirits and still doesnt clean up well. It is worth posing question to mfgr for application for a particular job. And, no I dont work for the company. Just a very satisfied user. Who used on paint, 100 yr old varnish, woid, metal and didnt have to use gloves or respirator for a change.

The 3rill is a Drill/Driver/Impact driver, not a hammer drill. It has a 1/4" Hex Shank chuck and I am unaware of any masonry bits that will work with this type of chuck. To answer your question, could you.....probably, should you.....no. I would recommend getting a hammer drill for this purpose. Check out the Rockwell Shop Series hammer drill, it is fairly inexpensive and will do exactly what you need. Rockwell ShopSeries RC3136 7 Amp 1/2-Inch Hammer Drill

I'd agree with the other answers. I'd tried a masonry bit with no luck and had no problem with this bit. I didn't use water and the bit still had life in it after two holes. So I'm guessing with proper care (ie water for cooling) you should be fine.

It might take multiple jugs. After trying this i went with a less green version that is stronger but does a better job the first time. I did not want to repeat the work with the fumes and all. I went with Armstrong "New Beginnings Resilient" Deep Cleaning Floor Stripper. Did the whole down stairs. Wear a mask and poor gently over surface. Spread with sponge that has plastic scrubby on one side. (2'x3' area) at a time. Use cotton rags to clean up after the wax has melted awa and dispose of them. NOTE: I used this on laminate not TILE so please test first.

We use it for on quartzite, granite and limestone and are very happy with the results. The companies web site is very good but my wife had some specific questions. She called Technical Support at the company and felt they were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly suggest calling them to discuss your particular application if the web site doesn't address your questions. The comment about proper ventilation is important. The product is solvent based as opposed to water based and you must have good ventilation as a minimum and a mask for a larger area.

Tough job, I own a cleaning service. I don't do much post remodeling work, it is difficult. Try a huge damp sponge. Keep rinsing. Again, I am not an expert on this form of cleaning.

I think that may be a 3M product. Go to their website and or contact them. Ask what cleanup product works best.
