Despite what the epoxy sellers tell you, they do fail, and they don’t look great when they do. Look at all the TV car shows who have had high dollar epoxy floors installed by professional sponsors, and seen them fail. I noticed most are going to stained and polished concrete now, sometimes...

I used one of these to remove paint and level a concrete floor in my house. It worked great and I have since used the disk for another couple projects. Longevity is not an issue. As others have said it makes a LOT of dust. I was using my shop-vac respirator, gloves, facemask, etc. as the...

Here is a picture halfway through the profiling of the surface.

I am looking to coat the floor of a room in my house that my wife will be using as a pattery studio. It had previously been coated with a paint of some type, and needed to be repaired, as it was in very poor condition. I picked up a gallon of Seal Krete Epoxy-Seal paint...

Anyone know if it would be problematic to put either Devoe or Wolverine products over another epoxy product? I am thinking of recoating this summer due to appearance problems with my current product. I would not like to take up the old product if I can avoid it, and it would be really tough to...

I just bought one of the Home Depot ones yesterday. I wired it up today and am plumbing the air fittings today. I will take some pictures of it, but I do notice that it is not the motor that some have mentioned. Pictures to follow....

I am attaching a couple of pictures so you can see. I have not mopped it in a week, the parts that don't come up well are the tires tracks, plus it just doesn't get shiny clean anymore. You can also see the chipped part. I do think that better prep might help on lifting, for instance...

Just an update about how this is holding up. I was a little disappointed that it came up in two places, one where my wife's front left tire parks, and two, where my front left tire parks. Manufacturer sent me out a repair kit that I will use soon to patch it up. Also, this coating seems to...

I primed mine and painted them with latex paint. You can see pictures in my other posts.

I got mine at a thrift store for $2. Had to go to three to find my size, since every store had about one pair of shoes. It was kind of fun though!

I primed and painted mine to match the walls. You can see photos in my thread: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22609

The same grey paint on the walls, is used on the concrete stem walls. They were very rough before I painted them. I used a very high quality (Benjamin Moore Fresh Start) primer prior to painting them and the combination of the primer and the paint resulted in very smooth walls that turned out...

I think it was like 15-20 minutes if you leave it in the bucket. It will harden very quickly in the bucket. What the manufacturer recommends is that you pour it out on the floor right away, and then you have 45-50 minutes to work with it. I was able to get the kit spread with no problem...

I think that there are people on this board that have had good experiences with a given brand of floor coating, and people with bad experiences with the same product. Some people love McDonald’s Big Macs, others don’t. Ultimately you have to decide what is best for you. If I had used a...

Yeah the reason I thought of doing chips was that I wanted to disguise any imperfections. Conversely, the reason I thought of not using chips was a cleaner appearence, easy to find dropped nuts/bolts, and fear or screwing it up and being stuck with it. I decided only after I had laid the...
