    Legacy Industrial Holiday Savings

    Hey Scotty, I'm not seeing the 15% discount on the final confirmation page. There is a message that appears in red, "This coupon could only be used 1 times" after typing in the code and pressing continue on step 2 of 3. On step 3, no change... Any ideas? Thanks!

    Garage epoxy prep - story so far and some questions

    Hey Scotty, Would the "Epoxy Concrete Patch, 1 gal, HD-110" be the best product to use on the shallow ground areas? I read the data sheet and it says to mix with aggregate, I'm assuming it doesn't come with that so what would you recommend? The temperatures haven't been too bad the last...

    Garage epoxy prep - story so far and some questions

    Baartman: I think you are spot on - on closer inspection, it does look more like a fibrous material, very similar to the way wood looks when rotten (but dry). There were huge sections that were missing and some parts that just fell apart in my hand so I ended up picking those out. I didn't want...

    Garage epoxy prep - story so far and some questions

    I was afraid someone was going to say that. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting an epoxy product locally (USA, east coast)? I have actually ordered some legacy gel and am waiting for it to arrive, but might need more down the road and waiting for an internet delivery holds the job...

    strange holes in floor - any ideas?

    Thanks for all the replies. It's a detached garage so all the walls are exterior, but those are the only two in the floor. They must have been put there for some reason, known only to the previous owner. If I can't come up with a logical use then I'll fill them in and forget about them. Just...

    Garage epoxy prep - story so far and some questions

    OK, so tried the 'easier' suggestions with varying success. I tried scrubbing the areas with a degreaser, rinsed and repeated, but it was slow going and didn't really seem to be doing much. It looked like one got a little better (was absorbing water, rather than just sitting on the surface) but...

    strange holes in floor - any ideas?

    I have been prepping for an epoxy floor for the last few weeks. (see http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=125318) I've also been scratching my head, trying to figure out why the previous owner put these weird holes in the floor (and wondering whether I should fill them in!?)...

    Garage epoxy prep - story so far and some questions

    Wow! This might turn out to be a bigger problem than I first thought. I will try all of the (easier) suggestions above at the weekend, maybe I'll get lucky. Cosmic

    Equipment

    Ahhh nuts...that would explain it! I had seen other machines on the web with the skirt but just thought the one from Sunbelt was how it came. Too late for me but not for the OP :)

    Garage epoxy prep - story so far and some questions

    Thanks for the replies! I'll give that a try this weekend and let you know how I get on. I hadn't thought of tire shine products. I also noticed the same pattern in one of the other bays last night (!!!) Whatever it is must have penetrated below the surface because I ground pretty thoroughly and...

    Equipment

    Hi JMoriner, I rented a single disc grinder from Sunbelt a couple of weekends ago. Great bunch of people to work with! See this thread for pictures of the grinder: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=125318 I had to also rent the 'Dyma-Serts' - you have to have three for the...

    Garage epoxy prep - story so far and some questions

    Hi All, First time post in this great forum. I've been a lurker for a while, reading lots of posts and thought I would join the fun! My current project is finishing off the garage/workshop that the previous owner didn't. In fact he left the floor in a terrible state! I found the big box store...
