I appreciate the input received but there seems to be a question of which methodology is the best to remove old lines and prep new surfaces for line application on concrete floors in an inside industrial concrete floor environment. The question seems to be, is it best to use a scarfier, shot blast or chemical process to remove lines or prep new surfaces? I'm not real interested in the chemical prosess, so what's the best (easiest, most effective, probitable, less time consuming, etc) method scarfying or shot blast?

shotblast easy, fast, and i have had a company do it for us for about 50 cents per LF plus mileage because they came from out of town (and theres room fror tacking on a few pennies more for your overhead)... I feel that scarifiers are more effective for traffic situations but slick concrete like warehouse floors would definitely have to be shotblasted to get a cleaner look and feel....

Again, I have had great luck with scarifier with mild steel bits. Easy to control without damage (unless you want to) plus it goes real fast. You can surface prep w steel and the concrete will still be smooth as a baby's bottom. I'd rather keep the .50 per foot.

I am looking for a website where I can buy the hitch attachment for a Lazy Liner to a Graco 3900. I found one, but wasn't too impressed with the payment features. Does anyone know where to buy the hitch from a trusted source? Thanks.

What if the existing warehouse markings to be removed were a waterborne traffic paint? Would you all still suggest the same removal methods? Ken do you have a problem with the steel cutters getting gummed up at all?
