    Is it me, or does every thread in FLOORING feel like a sales pitch?

    I think that they are an invaluable addition to our family here. They go the extra mile to ensure that we get the best outcome that we desire in whatever floor system that we choose. They will even give a little extra things even large items sometimes. I received an extra gallon of clear...

    Need advice : really bad concrete floor

    I would probably do the same thing. Man you have really got a lot more intestinal fortitude than I do but I am an old man:) Good luck on your progress.

    Rust Bullet with flake and clear on new 550sq ft floor

    Let me see if I can give the pro's a break and answer your question. Without the topcoat the chips will suffer from wear and tear. When sweeping and mopping debris will collect around the chips making it hard to keep clean etc. etc. This is what I understand. I would never consider...

    Sommer garage door installer in LA / South Bay

    Yep, the antenna solution would solve the extended range problem but will do nothing for the noise problem.

    Sommer garage door installer in LA / South Bay

    I had the same issue with my 19' door. I had to be less than 10' in front of the door in order to open it with the HomeLink in the car. First you remove the wiring from the back of the overhead unit that goes to the stop switch,power wire, the electric eye and the wall switch then remove the...

    Looking for Garage door threshold and advise on one

    Liquid Nails Polyurethane Construction Adhesive is what comes with the Tsunami kit. Justin told me that it would not stick but to be honest I did not read the directions on the tube. I just followed the instructions that come with the kit. I just went outside to check if I had any left...

    Looking for Garage door threshold and advise on one

    Scotty, I didn't know you guys made one or I may have tried it. You posted while I was still writing my story up. Looks good to me. If it is as good as the rest of you're products are it will be good.

    Looking for Garage door threshold and advise on one

    I did a lot of research on this very thing. I found that the Tsunami seals are good and are guaranteed for life. Most others only guarantee there's for one year if at all. Now the bad news very few, if any, glues will stick to polyurethane or polurea. So having not prepared to install a...

    Maybe the RB wasn't a good idea for me...

    I use an electric leaf blower too. I don't have dust but mostly dead insects where I sprayed every corner all the way around and from top to bottom. When I build my self styled work benches they will not be sitting on the floor that way I won't have any problem cleaning my beautiful floor...

    GJ Member Writeup on Epoxy. Lots of Pics

    Justin that was a great looking floor. Research, research, research, preparation, preparation, preparation and good planning putting it down is the key. In my opinion. I wish that I could have taken some good picture like this guy did but I had a crappy camera and the sunlight just was not...

    Grinding small strip of Epoxy

    For me the floor coating was so thick that edge of the floor coating came in the middle of the seal and it just rocked back and fourth like a playground see saw and with the flakes to rejection I was afraid that the glue would not be enough to keep water out in a blowing rain storm. There is...

    Grinding small strip of Epoxy

    Yep, that is why I ground it all out. It was a heck of a job for such a small strip but I thought that it would be worth it. I just wanted folks to know about my experience so that they could make a better plan and do better than I did. That is what it's all about here helping each other...

    Walnuts in a new out of level floor!

    In the past I have poured a lot of concrete and like the rest a PERFECT pour is rare especially a large pour. There are many reason for that as well other than shoddy workmanship. Concrete is concrete after all. If every concrete pouring outfit could pour a perfect floor every time I am...

    Grinding small strip of Epoxy

    I decided to get one of the Tsunami garage door seals. Well, I didn't plan on that when I put my floor down. I stopped the epoxy right at the edge of the seal underneath the door. I put one coat of primer, one coat of Epoxy with flakes to rejection and 4 coats of polyurethane. All that...

    Question about applying clear urethane top - Spikes or not?

    I used the spiked shoes that I made myself from an old pair of shoes, cutting out some shoe shaped pieces of plywood and screwing them together and making sure that all the screws came through the same length. A little work but I didn't mind and I am fairly good at things like that. I used...
