    Pitted Floor Prep for Metallic Epoxy

    I got the large (resin only & bought quartz sand at HD). I'd guess I got at least 30 sq-ft @ 1/8" depth.

    Pitted Floor Prep for Metallic Epoxy

    I did this exact coating system. I used the FiveTon repair patch for similar spalling/pitting and it worked very well for me. I didn't mix as much sand as suggested but instead mixed enough to create a slurry that I could spread more easily and I was able to cover the areas I needed to and was...

    Garage Floor Assessment: Where to Start?

    Yeah, I would highly recommend doing some repair work to fix the cracks and spalling/pitting. Here are a few of my favorites: Spalling/pitting: https://www.legacyindustrial.net/products/concrete-repair/fiveton-epoxy-patch-en.html Cracks...

    Epoxy prep: concrete grinding job look good enough?

    After grinding the floor three times, putting down numerous patch/repair products (Ardex CD, Five Ton Epoxy Patch, Rust-Oleum Concrete Patch, Turbokrete, Sikadur Crack Fix, Quickrete), pressure spraying the concrete three times, two vacuums (don't set your robot vacuum loose in the garage with...

    Epoxy prep: concrete grinding job look good enough?

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one who took that long on the grinding job. Maybe I had unrealistic expectations but I thought it would take 4-5 hours max. Good idea on the acid etch I think I'll do that. Your choice is very similar to my latest thinking on coating the floor. Can I ask where you...

    This is making more sense now that you've shown some light on fabrication of the structure. The garage sits above a sport court. Due to the grade of the lot, there is ~25' drop from the front of the house to the rear. Above and to the right is the garage, above and to the left is the master bedroom.

    Epoxy prep: concrete grinding job look good enough?

    Thanks for the insight, very helpful. As you said, the cracks are very superficial,probably 1/16" deep for the most part. Regarding the condition of the slab, it may be worth noting that there is living area underneath the entire garage area so perhaps that could be the cause of some of the...

    Epoxy prep: concrete grinding job look good enough?

    I rented a 10" grinder from HD and ground my garage last saturday. It is about 800 sq-ft and took forever - I spent 11 hours to get to this point. I know I hit every square inch of that floor multiple times but there are still spots that are darker where the grinder just didn't hit. The concrete...
