We are going to stain our kitchen floor which is concrete/cement. We are trying to prepare the floor to stain it, the floor previously had vinyl flooring on it so now the concrete has glue and also paint all over it. We tried the old fashioned way of putting an adhesive remover on it, letting it set and scraping it off with a razor blade. Well it doesnt exactly get everything off and it is going to take FOREVER to do, this kitchen is huge. So i was wondering if a Power sander that you can use while standing up would do the job. Except a clerk at Lowe's told us that using a sander will open the pores of the concrete and then when we go to stain it , it will not go on right??? Any suggestions would be awesome.

Can anyone tell me if there are any high velocity -- exceeding 492ft per second, I think; also without piston -- powder actuated nail guns out there (UK)? If not, what are the best/most powerful, and yet affordable, powder actuated nail guns with the piston involved? Perhaps the Hilti DX 450?
Many thanks.

I need to make a vinyl bag with my own specifications (triangular prism shape, zip lock on the side of the bag, completely waterproof and can be submerged in shallow water, and preferably one side of the bag made of a softer type of waterproof material like gortex or nylon). I was looking through Alibaba.com and most of the manufacturers are in china and they don't seem to make bags to that specificity. They usually also have minimum orders of a couple thousand and I prefer to order only a couple hundred. I also live in Toronto and prefer to contact a manufacturer that is nearby so as to make communication easier. Any suggestions as to where to find these kinds of manufacturers? Or do most manufacturers that make vinyl bags be willing to make one of that specificity? I'm new to this whole process, and I'll appreciate any one's help.

When cell phones were first introduced the price of a one-minute long-distance call was several times the cost of a land-line call. Does that mean that at time of their introduction, cell phones increased the cost of long-distance calling?
