    Rocksolid floor install

    Very interesting. I may look into this. The rental company said they would rent me a handheld diamon grinder for $25. I had considered it. We both wondered if it could make the floor un even. I have to do about 650sq ft I think.

    Rocksolid floor install

    I will be installing a Rock Solid floor this weekend in my garage. We did my dads over the winter(mi) on his brand new floor. His being brand new it went pretty well. My one complaint was that it was hard to see where I was applying the clear with the rollers. The floor was so shiny and he has...

    work benches... from scratch

    Curious what is used here for the top layer? Looks like sheet metal bent around? If so how was this accomplished. Looks great. Im building my bench this weekend, top will be 3/4" mdf. I need something to protect it from oil. Might even epoxy it

    I hear ya. You could probably be in the area of $1500-2k. That sounds in line with good pricing.

    Oak, birch or beech for workbench countertop

    I have been thinking about this. I was considering plywood or mdf and coating it with the left over floor epoxy. Properly prepped of course.

    I feel your pain. I have been researching off and on for about 7 years. I to am finaly ready to buy. Here is what I have learned and the approach I have taken in trying to figure out what to use. 1. If your looking for high quality, you want something that is high in solids or even 100% solid...

    Opinions on Sherwin Williams Tile Clad and Rexthane

    I was actually considering them, but I dont like the fact they dont use a top coat, when ever other 100% solids brand does. So IMO there not an option at this point.

    Opinions on Sherwin Williams Tile Clad and Rexthane

    So I spoke with another company that sells 100% solids epoxy. They claim they do not sell Cycoaliphatic epoxy it is a low grade, but woudnt say what there epoxy was made of and that it was "proprietary patent-pending formulation that is a military grade coating packaged for home use". The term...

    Opinions on Sherwin Williams Tile Clad and Rexthane

    Hey im not arguing that it sounds like its a good product. But I dont think calling everything else subpar is accurate either. Spending 1k on the floor just isnt gonna happen. For that price I could coat and finish insulation and drywall. I think there are some other good coatings out there...

    Opinions on Sherwin Williams Tile Clad and Rexthane

    I agree with the 100% solids floor. I guess I need to research to see if there is anything in my budget. I do know that this SW is 50% less than the price I was quoted with Wolverine, and about 70-80% of mil thickness. Obviously I am not pricing per gallon, but per job to complete what I needed...

    Opinions on Sherwin Williams Tile Clad and Rexthane

    Hi, been doing some research and based on somethings I read here I decided to go talk to the SW store thats pretty much across the street from my house. They know me a little from before and said they would help me when it comes to doing a epoxy floor. This is what they suggested I use...

    Light Weight Attic Hoist Project Completed

    Awesome job on the lift! I made up something similar with my old man at his place to pull motors. I used the same Harbor freight electric hoist, 9ft of square stock steel for the "track", than custom bracket for a wheel. The wheel rides above on the steel track. Works good, but I need to...
