For anyone who is interested and reads this later, the Sikaflex is leaps and bounds better than the DAP. It laid cleaner, settled more, and looks better. Thanks!@

Thanks. I used DAP self leveling before. Is the sikaflex much better?

Hi everyone, I added an epoxy coat (Rustoleum) to my garage floor last year. I love it, and it has held together very well even though I had some concern that it would peel. Recently, I had a home inspection done. The inspector recommended that I use "self-leveling" caulk in the floor joints...

Rustoleum. I think that the culprit might have been a large, sharp, rock that was stuck in the bottom of the can. The trash can was loaded with lots of heavy stuff and was spun-around on the floor.

So, our new shiny epoxy garage floor was scratched by our big rolling trash bins. I don't know exactly when it happened, but I think that they were drug across the ground while they were filled with heavy trash. I put some duct tape on the bottom to avoid similar problems in the future, but I...

Thanks for the advice. I'll contact rustoleum and ask them the best way to proceed.

This is the route I am taking. Both Home Depot and Rustoleum are helping me out, so I am getting a new kit free of charge. They don't make touch-up kits, so I'm getting the full thing. Hopefully I can take a cup of each and mix them, but that might give me a different color result. I don't...

Great work -- really slick.

Got it. I'll look at options and hope that this whole thing isn't shot. That would be a shame because I was pretty proud of my first job. I probably should have used muriatic acid. Here is a video of the issue because you can't really see the problem from the pictures: I now also realize...

Thanks. I'm hoping not. I did acid etch the floor, and it was a perfectly clean unsealed floor. I'm probably overstating how simple it was to pull up. The paper is thick brown drop paper. The clear coat epoxy leaked through and attached itself to the lower layers. In other words, the paper...

Let's hope not. Can I paint those small spots with an epoxy repair kit? If so, where do I get one?

Bump. Would love ideas on how I can repair the mistake.

Ugh. I just ruined part of my brand new epoxy flooring because of some crappy drop cloth that I used. I'm writing for advice to see if there are any feasible repair options. Here is where I'm at: 1) You can see my floor and an earlier topic here...

Can you recoat epoxy on epoxy this long after the fact? The instructions weren't clear.

Thanks. Did yours appear fairly uneven as well? There are lots of small ridges/lines throughout the floor. It looked even as I laid it down, so I think it might be the nature of the epoxy. I'm tempted to add the clear coat today to even it out somewhat. I also agree with you about the...
