You know how they always put the grooves in concrete floors for expasion purposes? What can I use to fill those? I was thinking of getting a masonry caulk and filling them up. I hate it when they get full of dirt / liquids, and just having a slight indention would be much easier when squeegeing...

I haven't walked on the clear yet. I did the base Saturday afternoon and could walk on it the next morning to do the clear. I finished the clear at 3pm Sunday and I expect I can walk on it when I get home today. The weather has been nuts around here, setting record highs of nearly 80* during the...

I'm going to paint that all white to match the walls, so all verticle surfaces are white.

I finished the floow earlier today and everything looks great I think. All-in-all the process was not as difficult as I was prepared for, basically it was just like painting a room. I went with the Rustoleum Epoxy Shield Pro and clear coat. The base coat and flakes went on yesterday and the...

I got the Rustoleum Epoxy Shield Pro kit, it went on today with great success. I have all the flakes down and I think it looks good. I am planning on doing the clear coat tomorrow or Monday. My plan was to sweep the floor to remove any unstuck flakes or whatever else could be on it, then just go...

After I buy all the supplies and everything I expect to spend no more than $500 which works out to about $0.67/sqft. I post that because it seems more realistinc than what you will find on the sticky on this forum: "Rustoleum http://www.rustoleum.com/brand.asp?f...nd_id=19&SBL=1 Professional...

I just ordered the Rustoleum pro kit. My house was just built, garage floor has been there maybe 6 months and we moved in a little over a month ago. There are 2 things I noticed after scrubbing the floor good with soap and water: 1. There are still areas that are brown from dirt. No matter how...

Welp, I finally ordered it. $410 for 2 kits of Rustoleum EPOXYShield coating, 2 kits of clearcoat, and 3 things of the concrete etch, shipping was $41. Now I just hope the temperature outside stays on my side and doesn't get too cold.

Okay, I am about to order the Rustoleum Epoxy Shield Pro from www.garage-toys.com My garage is ~700 sq feet so it looks like I will need 2 kits so thats ~$170. Now I have heard that its VERY important to get the clear coat, but if I get it thats another $170 for 2 of those kits. 1. Is this a...

This may help visualize what I am working with: Once all the cars are in there really isn't much space, combined with the fact the the house is on a small lake and they do not allow sheds. I don't want to take up all my space with a bench and knowing me, if the bench is bigger than I need it...

Thanks for the info guy, all good ideas that I will keep in mind. The bench currently is calculated at about 330 pounds empty, by the time I get the upper cabinets and put some stuff in it, its likely to be over 600lbs. Boiler - If you aren't an engineer then maybe you should be ;) -...

Yeah, I haven't sourced a sink yet, so it may have to move from where it is now.

I'm building a new house, close in a few weeks. One of the first projects I want to take on is building a workbench. Here is what I have designed so far: I work on cars a lot so that is the primary purpose of this, but I will also be doing various projects around the house like finishing the...

If a floor is coated in the pro grade rustoleum s40 how durable and practical is it for someone who works on cars a lot? I mean if I drop a wrench or a hammer is it going to chip the floor? If I slide my jackstands in place is it going to scratch? If I am mig welding will the slag melt / burn...

Wow lots of good info and sounds like it addresses everything I have concerns about or have been fore-warned on with epoxies. Now the question is: I would need 2 kits, how much would that cost? Also where can I find some pictures of finished floors?
