I just got around to it this past weekend. I had a neighbors son open the side door and a couple of leaves blew in while the surface was soft, you can see the spots that I will spot fix. When scuffing I used a black pad and could not tell that is was getting scuffed, it's tough stuff. I...

incase this question comes up again in the future. I was told a scuff with a red pad after the product has fully cured. The cause is lite application, I will say its difficult to see with the semi gloss from the sealer. In all I think this was a pretty easy application and initial thoughts on...

I applied Ballistix Black and have a couple of areas that look a little light in application or gloss. What needs to be done to apply a second coat, I can spot repair or do I need to scuff and second coat the whole shop ?

Having a place onsite to spread the excess soil would have been huge in my site work. I "needed" approx 200yds removed and dumped and another 200yrd of gravel/rock. I $32K over on my site work and have another $10k to complete (with a different contractor.

I have narrowed my floor surface to SPGX or BallistiX. This is a 6mo old new slab, use will be a home garage shop, some wrenching. Wants are looks good, can repair damage, chemical resistant, not too slick when wet, reasonably easy install (diy), and if all equal cheaper is better. I have...

thanks, I will reach out this week. Thoughts on acid etch, primer, or have burnished?

Yes, I want something that looks good. This is my garage and home office combo and will be the price of a house in some markets when done. The office is attached and engineered HW, I don't want to spend more if I don't have too. I was originally going to have burnished but a guy in my town...

What have you heard? I was leaning that way, my painter will be finished in about a week and after my G-Door arrives I was going used Ballistix. As a sealer, My use will be home old guy close to retirement wrenching on my own cars. My wants, not too slippery, reasonable durabilty for...

Thanks, I like the look but need the durability to park and wrench. I get the over investigation on finishes and processes.

We had an additional $30K in excavation expense and the contractor under estimated labor. Construction is expensive in my area, I hope to be done for $300/sqft at this point. That is with me doing the electrical and now plumbing. But none of that is a basic job. I will have hot and cold...

I will take a look, can the floor be ground or burished first? I haven't moved in yet

Yeah, right now I am looking at $100K over budget. I am pretty sure some of it will be used as they finish sheeting which will be this week.

I am new here and just saw this thread. My GC has covered my entire garage floor with 1/2 sheets of plywood to protect it.

Would you expound on that requirement, and if you don't object, what city? Bainbridge Island WA, Actually GC said it was required and laughed. I wiring the space myself as was going to install anyway. My wife sells real estate and shocking how many times that is a major issue.

We will have a full bath with a shower
