Just got my Rust Bullet in today. For you guys that have done a floor coating in your garage (RB, epoxy, etc..) have you left the garage door open or closed during the dry time? I feel like opening it would help it dry faster but risk stuff blowing in and sticking. Maybe I should disconnect the door from the track and manually open it slightly? Curious as to what others have done...
I left mine closed to keep the trash out until I got to that area then opened it to do the RB then closed it all but about 1/2 ". I did blow off the parking pad outside the garage before I started to help prevent any wind blown trash from getting on the finish.
What david said. And wear a respirator, NOT a dust mask!
Great questions.
First, wear a respirator.
We filmed our install video here in town yesterday and today with the Rust Bullet folks. We did a basic 400 sq. Ft. garage. No prep work and no concrete repairs.
What we did....
Yesterday, it was raining and you are not supposed to install the product in the rain. We were able to have the room warm enough that the humidity got under 70% but we had to close the garage door. THE SMELL GOES INTO THE HOUSE but was much better by this morning.
Today for the second coat, we opened the garage door all the way. We painted the two interior segments and some of the two closes to the garage door. Then we swept the floor, closed the door and finished. We then opened the door partially -- it was not windy. It worked OK. If we had more windows in garage we would have left it closed.
DON'T do it in the rain. It's not worth it. We only did it because they were here for two days only and we had to get it done. We also had the people and tools to mitigate the risk.
