Yes, premier is necessary if you don't want bubbles or fisheyes. I didn't use it and ended up with a bunch of small fisheyes. I used Epoxy Coat for base coat and top clear coat, and had good results.

I got lazy and stopped watering the concrete this week, after 20 straight days of watering after the the pour. Now I just want to seal it (27 days now since the pour). Can someone tell me exactly what sealer to use (brand, model#), or provide a link? Thanks.

Thanks LLWillysfan. The crack hasn't gotten bigger, and I don't see any new cracks (I still water my concrete everyday). My concrete was poured on Sept 1st, so it'll be ready for sealing this Sunday. I haven't heard back from my contractor which is fine because I don't mind doing it myself...

I got this hairline crack on the driveway as shown in the pics. Concrete was poured on Sept 1st, and 2 days later, contractor powerwashed to remove the release agent. Since then, I've been watering the concrete, sometimes twice a day. The crack occurred about a week after the pour. Concrete...

The inclusion of the clear coat, and application spikes makes it a premium kit I believe. I walked on it tonight for the first time after the clear coat, and I hardly notice the fisheyes unless I look very closely. Here's a closeup pic of the fisheyes after the clear coat. No, it doesn't...

I didn't measure the humidity, but it's not humid here in Silicon Valley on the west coast. I washed off the Simple Green immediately, and didn't let it dry first. It's just here and there, not consistent throughout. I didn't prime. My premium kit did not include a primer, and there was no...

Yes, it's the darker gray spots. Those are not flakes, but the concrete. The slab is 35 years old. Here's what I did for prep: June 24 - diamond grind for 6 hrs using diamabrush concrete prep tool with floor buffer, and wash floor afterwards using garden hose July 7 - fill holes and cracks...

I'm sure it's an install error. I just want to know what I can do to prevent this next time because I still have a small section I need to do this weekend. I started putting on the base coat at 8:30pm, and finished at 11pm. Next morning, there's all these little spots where you can see the...

I also received my kit on Monday, and look forward to putting it down this weekend. A little longer than expected, but if it turns out to be better than the stuff at Lowes, it's worth the wait.

I placed my Epoxy Coat order on June 27th in the morning, and it still hasn't arrived yet. I can only do half the garage at a time, so the earliest I can finish is the 22nd of this month, almost a month after I had cleared and prepped the garage (June 24th). My wife is not too happy with all...

What's the best way to do this, and not have a seam in the middle. I ordered the Epoxy Coat premium kit with top clear coat. Do I put a tape in the middle, and after 1st section is done, move tape over to 1st section. Or do I just overlap the 1st section when doing the 2nd section. Thanks.

This is what I used to remove sealer from my concrete floor 2 weekends ago. The diamabrush 16" concrete prep tool was $55, and buffer was $42 for a day. I spent 6 hrs grinding, and the final surface felt like 150grit sandpaper (definitely not 100 grit). HD also has a diamabrush 16" mastric...

Scott: I got the HD-105 to repair some cracks, but was wondering if I can also use it to cover the exposed expansion joint at the edge below the footing as you can see from the pics. Thanks.

Had to google this, but just placed an order with free shipping with "FB" discount code.

I was about to place an order this morning for the full kit, plus 4 10lb bags of flakes, but shipping came out to $100. Wasn't there free shipping before?
