    Epoxy Coat: floor care

    Kayla, Thanks. I'll try the acrylic floor wax for now and then when I need the small repair, I will order more of the clear coat.

    Epoxy Coat: floor care

    I've got a couple small spots where the original clear coat and paint has peeled off, but I was also wondering how to get the shine back on the whole floor. What product do people use.? Not too concerned about the small areas, I can get a small batch and re-do it, but the rest of the floor is...

    Finally My Epoxy floor is done!!!

    Did you apply aluminum oxide. Looks like it from the close ups. What ratio did you use with each batch. I think the bag is 1/2 lb? I didn't apply it on mine, so I need to add another clear coat with the grit. thx

    Ugh, the dreaded bubbles in my new Epoxy-Coat floor :-( Pics inside

    I had some too, but it wasn't the color coat. It was a little hotter the next day and in some areas the clear coat got pretty thick, i.e some of the seams filled up and I had some small bubbles that you can't really see, unless you look hard..overall thrilled with my epoxy-coat. will try to load...

    De-greasing motor oil / prep

    thanks. again everyone has been extremely helpful. I did the citrus degreaser last night and then I put some kitty litter on and will sweep it up tonight when I get home. Maybe it will pick up a little extra oil that may seep up. It's supposed to be 85 in Denver today ( humidity probably still...

    De-greasing motor oil / prep

    thanks. it does help to clarify what the acid does and does not do. I did do kitty litter first. picked up everything I couldn't wipe up, have used a de-greaser and really scrubbed it in good with a wire brush, and now there is only the set-in light stains of the oil left. I also tried a disc...

    De-greasing motor oil / prep

    I have a couple small areas where some motor oil leaked thru a cardboard box. the overall area where the spots are is maybe 5 sq feet. I have de-greased and scrubbed it twice and there is still visible "oil stains", but the surface doesn't feel bad. My question is, when I get ready to start...

    Epoxy Coat

    I will be doing my Epoxy Coat floor in the next month. I have my kit and am just working on a couple of minor oil spill areas with a degreaser. I'm going over each spot a couple of times with a 1:1 concentration with water and taking a week in between to see how it fades with drying. Then I'll...

I have my epoxy-coat kit too, but am going to complete some electrical and dry wall before I put the coating down, which will be navy blue, with white and orange flecks...Broncos colors..hmm wonder if I can flak an "18...
