    Can't find the answer to my RaceDeck ?

    I was worried about the same thing and finally came to the conclusion that this is an obvious issue; and if it DID cause a problem it would be all over these forums...I don't think RD could survive as a company if any type of mold or mildew collected as a result of their product... I think...

    Just finished a Race Deck - Gladiator GARAGE MAKEOVER in NJ

    Hey, I'm just jealous! I just finished painting my garage and would love to be able to put up even half a wall of the gearwall stuff... Just four panels for me behind the workbench and then track where needed... In case it was missed: nice work garageguy; looks great!

    Just finished a Race Deck - Gladiator GARAGE MAKEOVER in NJ

    Looks great! Noticed a lot of people lately choose to put the gearwall panels on nearly 100% of their walls....doesn't that get pricey? That looks like about $3500 worth of panels alone stacked up in pic 1! I'd rather spend the extra coin on other "toys" but I guess to each their own… If I'm...

    What to use to cover concrete?

    As seen in the pic below the drywall in my garage starts about 40" above the floor. The foundation isn't all that smooth and there is a bit of excess where the original molds were. I would like to cover this up to give it a more finished look but can't decide how to do it. Right now I’m thinking...

    Acid Stain & AcryliSeal3501...In Use!

    Ok, so the AcryliSeal 3501 is dry and ready to go! It went on easily although the first coat made me a little nervous as it didn't seem to be even AT ALL... but in the end it dried just fine. 5 gallons was supposed to give me 3 coats (500 ft2) but I was actually able to get 4 with a little left...

    Acid Stain & AcryliSeal3501...In Use!

    Hey Everyone, First off; sorry for the lengthy post but it seems like Acid Stain plus Sealer is not so common so I wanted to really document what I’ve done so far. Feel free to skip down to the pics if you don’t care! Like most everyone else on here I have spent years drooling over the mere...

    How to fix it

    Last weekend I prepped my garage floor (TSP Cleaner used with a floor maintainer, Power washing, scrubbing, etc) and proceeded to apply an Acid Stain by H&C Concrete (distributed by Sherwin Williams). Unfortunately I did my test spot in artificial light and when I got to the edge of the garage...

    Another flooring question (with a twist on it)

    I'm in pretty much the same boat as you. Not a huge fan of the look of epoxy but I haven’t heard the same thing about acid staining. I have the products and am starting this weekend (will post pics in a new thread soon). I purchased H&C Acid Infusion Stain from Sherwin Williams (only retailer...

    Staining concrete vs Epoxy

    Curious to hear opinions on this as well. I plan to acid stain (probably Kemiko) my floor and then am thinking of using AcryliSeal 3501 on top as a protective coat (AcryliSeal 3501 is discussed in the "Best Seal. Not Epoxy" thread for those who haven't read about it). Anyone have any experience...

    best sealant. not epoxy

    Could you put AcryliSeal 3501 down over acid stained concrete? If so, would this show up as a matte or glossy finish?

    Urethane Coatings?

    Hey all, I'm thinking of applying an Acid Stain to my garage floor and then using a urethane coating on top. Anyone have any experience with products like "Benjamin Moore Moisture Cure Urethane" or "Rust-Oleum ThermaKrete® - Urethane Concrete?" Thanks!
