I just finished up my garage, I have a few suggestions if this is your first time working with epoxy. As you mentioned take your time with the prep. Plan out where you around going to mix and layout your supplies. May want to consider a piece protective plywood outside the garage for...

Why aren't these types of threads stickies? It's a shame it takes a decent amount of time to find a thread of interest. I would love to see, "Post a pic of your epoxy floor" and every other floor type so users can go to one thread and scroll through dozens of pages to view what other people...

If memory serves me correctly, underlayment should not be secured to the joists. However, the hardwood should be secured to the joists when possible. I don't recall the reasoning behind this, it's been 3 years since I installed 2200 sq ft of flooring in my house. Check out...

What make your product unique versus the rest of the products on the market?

Thanks for the responses. I forgot to mention, prior to degreasing I used Iron Out and Pour and Restore. It is possible I missed these spots with the floor being as dirty as it was. I am going to address these spots and hopefully the outcome will be better.

Good evening. Looking for insight on an issue I came across today while staining my floor. My plan was to use H&C semi transparent grey stain to create an acid stain look and then follow it up with Legacy clear epoxy and urethane. So here's some background info on the prep. I degreased the...

Hello all. The endless wait of finally getting around to coating my floor has come to an end. Other priorities, etc. I have a small low spot, approx 14" round, about 2' in from one of my garage doors. I would prefer to add some self leveling concrete prior to commencing my project. Is this a...

I originally wanted to acid stain and also was looking to do a similar look to what you describe. From my research there is no acid stain in grey. I purchased a sample kit and put down black sample patches in various dilution ratios. I didn't like the results. I then considered acetone dye, but...

A week too late, damn.

Your pink line, is that exactly 90 degrees off the hallway and does it measure the same off the short wall? If it measures good on 3 out of 4 walls then the one wall is 1/2" off and there's nothing you can do about it. Are you measuring off the bottom plate? Existing moulding?

I recently did a repair job for a friend who had some water damage where a portion of his floor warped. Doing this type of repair is difficult because the spacing where the wall is removed will likely not be equally divisible the the width flooring you are using. Especially if you aren't using...

I installed walnut stained hickory in my house. Fit what we were looking for and the budget at the time. I used a stapler but didn't experience any broken tongues. From what I understand you need to glue and nail/staple all wide plank flooring (can't remember if it is 4" or 5" and over). I...

The exact reason I do things myself is because I know they will get done to my standards. Buy the thinner tar paper since you say your floors look flat. Underlayments get stapled down. Wood gets installed opposite direction of the floor joists. This may be the same direction which the hallway...

I was in your shoes a few years ago and I too took to the internet to learn as much as I could. I tackled the installation of 2400 sq ft of pre-finished hardwood in addition to retro fitting my stairs with treads. The first thing you need to do if you haven't already done so is open up both...
