What Is The Best Chemical To Strip Terracotta (12x12) With Finish Damage. The Floor Was Damaged By A Pipe Bursting In The Attic, Water Down Through Walls Into Slab Concrete Floor , Wicked Up Into Tile And Heaved The Surface Finish. I Have 2000 Sq/ft To Do , So The Fastest, Cleanest, Easiest And Most Economical Solution Is What I Ask Of You. The Floor Was Finished With Linseed Oil/butchers Wax ( Made By A Company Called Elan?)
Thanks For The Help

Butchers wax,or bowling alley wax is basically carnuaba wax, and of course linseed oil is oil,Typically linseed oil is removed with tsp, and wax is removed with xylene, or toluene,although there are other wax strippers.I,myself haven't tried to remove both,at the same time, but i'll bet Aldon has a remover that will,here's the link.....http://www.aldonchem.com/index.html
