Welcome to our message board Harold. I am the owner and I heartily want to encourage you to participate. I too have been around this industry for a few years, 30 to be exact.
And I also used LST in the past like you, and spent a fair amount of time getting to know it's original promoter Ed York. LST is a great product. However it is not a true encapsulator as compared to newer polymer based products like Releasit.
And as you can see from my comments above, I agree with your position that straight encap alone is not the best choice for most residential settings. On the other hand, encap blows the doors off HWE in a commercial setting, especially if you're planning to do any serious amount of commercial work.
Methods are like tools in the toolbox. No sane person would ever be inclined to build a house with a hammer alone. Yet using appropriate tools for their intended task makes the job flow efficiently. And when it comes to commercial carpet cleaning (what encap was designed for) encap has proven to be a mighty solid hammer.
So like I said, WELCOME aboard. Please feel free to jump in and participate. Even if you have a differing view. An open discussion is always good!
