alright so now we finish forming lines
everything all the ground lines are done
they have a nice slight dip to them they
look really good
so now we have to go back and clean all
of this growth that we have everywhere
so go get a new fresh bucket of water
and yellow sponges don't bring out as
much now because now we're just cleaning
everything has had a chance to harden
the life you're nice and warmed you do
you might want to wait another five or
ten minutes after you finish forming to
make sure it's nice and hard because you
don't want to be I'm forming lines
basically just one clean tiles you don't
want to wait too long as it gets really
hard and it's not possible
so just going on and just like before
so commotions work well now you'll
notice as you do it you'll have dry
spots and then you're wet spots so
really be able to see the difference
between what's clean and what's not and
after a while i will be it will seem
like you're not doing anything really
because I'm sure your sponge is already
dirty and it gets dirty fast because now
you're doing a nice clean you're not
just waiting over like we did before you
really trying to get it all the growth
of it there is one more step after this
maybe two depending on how things go and
the last step is the one where you get
all the growth off so don't worry it'll
be perfect about it but make sure you
keep switching your sponge over using a
clean side hanging out doing it again so
you constantly want
going back and forth like that you don't
wanna be using a dirty sponge roll sir
not really doing anything
keep hope you want to change this water
often i can read maybe you can say a
nine by nine section go and change this
water company putting new stuff just
like with when you're forming lines you
have to make sure you constantly clean
your sponge out because it just gets to
the point where it's caked on you need
to read it but this time you need to
keep this water clean sponge and water
clean sister important clean so now
we're going to do what's called buffing
the floor we want to do is take a
cheesecloth just like this which is like
just like a hand towel and you want to
rub the tile because you want to get rid
of this haze of growth that sitting over
top of it as you can see i did one tile
here just before startup and this tile
is not done so you can see the big
difference between the two this one nice
and shiny
this one is dull because of the growth
so only do is just taking a cheese cloth
and rub circles and voila you have a
clean tile and once why I need to take
your cheese cloth that will shake it out
get rid of the dust on it but that's all
there is to it
so before you do this will make sure you
wait about two hours and at the maximum
week 12 so don't say all will do it
tomorrow night or whatever because by
then that the ground is just caked onto
the Florida is so hard to get off
I have tried it and doesn't work so
after that you're done and ready to go
I'm just going to put your toilet back
in and if you want to do your baseboards
and we'll talk about that kind of stuff
later but then your floor itself is now
done once you've cleaned it all so lets
you run the floor we want to do is take
a regular spray bottle fill it up with
water and after about eight to 12 hours
give the floor light misting just spray
over the
the floor and just make sure all the
girls kind of covered this way it allows
the growth to cure little slower and it
doesn't have the chance of curing too
fast and actually cracking so do this
for two days straight every eight to 12
hours and even up to three days but you
don't have to do is at least make sure
you do that after hungry
