Been scanning the site for several months now and first time poster...Lots of great professionals here.

Any suggestions for removing a light epoxy haze? I have never had this issue with Spectralock before, but am having a heck of time trying to figure this out. Followed all the Laticrete rules! I have been trying the tech's suggestions over the past couple weeks with no promise. The light haze has been on the floor for a few weeks now and I am open to any proven suggestions/solutions.

Tried the following recommended by Laticrete tech support:
Liquid Cascade
Aquamix Sealer & Coating Remover (let soak on haze for 15, 30, and 45 minutes)
Soft Scrub with Bleach- tested on small, hidden tile
Regular Soft Scrub

Thank you for any help.

I would definitely try the epoxy haze remover first,let it dwell, then maybe use a black floor stripping pad.

Try softscrub with bleach. Prewet the area with water then apply the softscrub and take some part C powder of a light color Spectralock and make a slurry paste on the floor. Let stand on hazed area 10 minutes then scrub with brush or buffer and rinse with water.

Time after time I have taken a haze off of tiles using this method. The part C filler powder works as an aggregate similar to silica sand and is also very inexpensive.

Thanks,
