Why We Don't Use Acid |
1. Miracle Method is environmentally responsible.
2. Etching acid is dangerous.
3. Etching acid is corrosive.
4. Etching acid doesn’t always work.
|
| Many refinishers use a corrosive acid, usually hydrofluoric acid, to chemically “etch” a porcelain or ceramic tile surface in order to allow the new coating to “stick.” Hydrofluoric acid is so strong that it actually eats away the porcelain, creating “pits” and a rougher area for the new coating to hold onto.
Corrosive materials, like hydrofluic acid, are dangerous and can cause burns to the technician using them. Acid can cause damage to fixtures, surrounding carpet or floors, if misused. It is also corrosive to pipes if not properly neutralized before pouring down a drain … the typical method of disposal. If acid etching is used in your home or business, be sure the technician is covered by workman’s comp, and not your homeowner’s policy!
Acid etching can fail because even the smallest amount of moisture under the new finish, at the tub’s edge or around the drain, can blister and force the new finish to let go and peel .... and continue to peel as moisture works its way underneath the finish.
|
| |
| Miracle Method’s non-etching process is truly unique. |
| Our exclusive acid free bonding agent, MM-4, enables us to "fuse" a new surface onto your tub fixture or tile. Our process is more like a skin graft instead of a band-aid that's stuck on. Miracle Method’s smooth, hard finish will not peel and will look like new! |
| |
| Miracle Method can fix an acid etch refinisher's failed job. |
| A failed acid refinished bathtub can be fixed, but requires the failed coating to be stripped off. Then the tub can be properly refinished using the Miracle Method process. The stripping process will add to the cost, but will result in a durable Miracle Method finish. |
