Tile Clad and Shield Crete are certainly much different epoxies. Tile Clad is a Polyamide epoxy but take note that it is not made for hot tire pickup Shield Crete is a waterbased garage floor coating which will have much less abrasion resistance than a urethane or polyamide. Tile Clad would...

Wow! you have several things going on here. Bottom line is that you have severe fisheying all over the entire floor, and you have uneven film build evident by the flashing all over the place. There are dozens of reasons why this may have occurred but the only way to fix this will be to grind it...

The Rustoleum system is waterbased. Most likely causes of this bubbling of clearcoat is outgassing. Could be caused from clearcoat being put on too soon after epoxy application, or epoxy being put on too thick (thus greatly increasing recoat time). Water is gassing out of the coating and into...

Bubbles in the coating are almost always caused by a contimaninant or an environmental issue. Could there have been a contaminant (including dust or water, or solvent) on the epoxy coating that you had? Also, excessive himidity can often cause this problem. Lastly 100% solids coatings often have...

I've used Rexthane many times. It's very abrasion resistand (as urethanes are) and adheres really well to properly prepared concrete. Etch or grind so you have the profile of 80 grit sandpaper and apply 2 coats with a mohair roller cover. You can apply it down to 20 degrees but make sure your...

A urethane such as Rexthane or HS poly will generally be harder and more scratch resistant than your polyamide epoxies such as Tile Clad, Armorseal 1000, or Macropoxy 646. All polyamide epoxies will yellow over time but are better at adhering to marginally prepared substrates. A urethane will...
