should I just finished with the rustoleum glossy clear garage epoxy. wondering if I should clear coat. I tried to keep a wet line with painting, but somehow my "paint lines" show. DO scratches on the clear coat show easily, and would clear coating make a big difference? it seems like I...

You guys are making it harder than it really is This job shouldn't require test strips, a pressure washer, or a concrete scaper. Though those items would make it worthwhile if doing this as a business on a day to day routine. I, however, am just doing a single garage and am trying to keep...

If I had unlimited money I would, but I don't ;)

what is backrolling? is that just thickening up the coat? if so that is what I mean by 2nd coat, I'll probably have extra left over so if I could use it all that would be ideal. Any advice on doing this?
