What I the chemical that turn rust into black coating? It's of the product I am seeing is a gel that needs to be removed or a dip bucket that will not work given the size.

I have had my HD9 installed in my garage for about 2 years now and I noticed some surface rust forming on the edges of the foot plates. I am not concerned for now but I do not want this to become a bigger issue over time as my garage does see moisture from wet cars etc. and road salt during the...

This happened to my racedeck as well, the trick is to expose them to direct sunlight before installation. The solution was to remove the last row on one side and let the rest of the tiles expand outward, then re cut the last row to fit the width that is left after expansion. That worked for...

There is a discount for all GJ members. Just make sure to mention it when you call to place your order.

I did cheap box store rustoleum epoxy about 5 years back and then put racedeck down over it as it is starting to look bad. We have a 4 foot wide step that runs the entire width of the garage which is left with just the epoxy. This area is used for storage, hoses, lawn mower, snow blower...

I don't have any picks on my iPad to share, but do a quick search on my other theads, plenty of pics. I am also currently thr 5th picture on the racedeck gallery page on their website, though that changes as they post new pics!

I can tell you that I did not consider the tough shield, that said the regular diamond tiles have a much nicer finish in person than what shows up in pictures. Much glossier than I thought. After owning for about 6 months now, it is holding up great and I would not have wanted anything more...

Unless you have a huge garage, the extra cost / tile is not that significant, especially b/c the garage journal discount from RD will also ship it for free. I went with Racedeck becuase of quality, customer service, warranty, and I know if I ever need a replacement due to breakage or a tile...

I just picked up a cheap ($30) jig saw at Lowes with a wood cutting blade. It is a black and decker and had a speed setting for plastic. Pretty sure there would have been better ways (especially for strait cuts) but this worked for me.

The alluminum ramps and the steel ramps are both 36" long, however they attach to the lift quite differently. This makes the alluminum ramps more "low profile" and longer as part of the 36" length does not overlap the lift runway like the steel ramps do.

I would offer, but I am all the way in the cleveland area. Not too far, but not close either. Why not just use the $$$ you would have spent on the beer and gas and purchase yourself 20-30 tiles (pattern/color you would purchase anyway for your application) as a test, put it down on your floor...

I do not do any machining in my garage, but I can tell you that dirt, dust, grass blades, and grit pebbles from the grip surface atop the bendpak lift ramp sweep away just as easy as smoth concrete. The diamond pattern that sticks up has a smooth transition into the tile so things sweep up and...

your diagram will work... but you will have a problem when you get to the corners and the edge tiles. once you rotate, you no longer have the corect male / female edge facing the correct way in all directions, so something will be off when you get to the end...

you will need full tiles to complete the job. The pattern on the tiles may be symetrical, but they can only really install one direction (once you pick it) as 2 edges are male and 2 are female... I would just order enough tiles to do 20x20 and cut the depth to what you need and leave 2" on the...

The white tiles of the regular finish will "clean up" just fine if you are willing to mop your garage floor every couple of weeks as I do. I was only suggesting the color change to light alloy as they do show a lot less dirt and most of the members here are not in the camp of mopping garage...
