Here are a couple good ones. I don't know much about the product they are using, but more for their process. On this one, note the great way to ensure your flakes are properly mixed. If I would have picked up on this, my results would have been slightly better. Here's another one: My epoxy...

Yeah, I'm considering putting another coat of urethane down at some point as well. But it's expensive. If I do, I may decide to try to "fix" the darker gray spotches at the same time. I'm just going to use it for a while and see how I like it. But definitely another coat of urethane would be...

I did my research and planned it over a few weeks. It was helpful to see some good videos out here on youtube of installers to see simple things (mixing, rolling, squeegee, approach, etc.) The other part was waiting until the weather was such that temperatures were consistently over 40...

Was able to walk on it to get in pictures in better lighting.

The next morning, the floor was dry and I began to remove the excess flake. I swept up the majority with a garage broom and used the blower for the rest. I went over the floor multiple times with the stiff broom, but probably should have used a scraper of some sorts. When putting down the...

I started the epoxy the following day. I decided to mix a small batch of the epoxy to get the borders complete and the same area under my steps and air compressor. I realized immediately this stuff was no joke when I began to mix it. i read where you should a second drill on stand-by "just in...

For supplies, I ordered a notched squeegee, and picked up other items at local Lowe's. Alpha Garage provided the spiked shoes. I used Purdy "White Dove" rollers that were lint free, and cheep paint brushes. I also picked up some buckets for mixing smaller batches, the drill attachment for...

When researching which product to use, it seemed I couldn't go wrong with vendors here on the site. I took advantage of Alpha Garage's "spring special" and received a great price on the Wolverine product along with 90 pounds of flake. Bert was very helpful with details of the product and an...

Next I decided to fill the expansion joints and decided to use Legacy's Xtreme Set 100 Crack/Joint Filler. This mixed with sand was used to fill the joints. It setup rather quickly and installed nicely. I used a grinder with a concrete diamond wheel attachment to get it reasonably smooth...

I thought I'd share my experience with installing my garage floor. I've got a 700 Sq Ft. garage floor that had a previous water based epoxy from Lowes installed about 7 years ago. The concrete overall was in good shape, but the floor paint was worn. I rented a concrete grinder from a local...

Thanks. Worked great. Took about 4-5 hours for my 3 car garage (~700 square feet).

DYMA-SERTS is what another rental store recommended. He seemed knowledgeable and said it would work great. For a day rents for $78, plus I have to rent the dyma-certs for $30 each (3 total needed).

First time post. I'm about to take on a DIY epoxy floor for my garage floor (700 Sq. ft.). The garage floor is in great shape, but has an old/cheap epoxy coating on the floor. It's never peeled/flaked and is in good shape. I want to remove it before starting with my new 100% solids epoxy...

Put me down for 2 kits as well. E-mail sent.
