    DIY prep options - old concrete - 400 sq ft

    So your better than a professional system @ 28mil thick would cost him $1,500.00 just for the materials. This is no extra tools. Why wouldn't he hire someone to do it for him and at the same time save him some money and back ache.

If not the you will have thick spot that the chips will settle into and leave epoxy showing through and look splotchy at the end. Check the spec sheet it should tell you how many mils...

    Polyurea vs Epoxy

    If you use a full broadcast of chips you won't even see the epoxy under the chips. Then a polyaspartic topcoat to prevent yellowing.

    Polyurea vs Epoxy

    Why would you say epoxy has a better adhesion strength but then also say that it needs a primer. I do not use a primer and i use 100% solid epoxy and i have not had any issues with over 300 garages.

    epoxy vs polyurea

    I am seeing a growing number of companies and individuals talking about polyurea having a 4 to 10 times better flexural strength and also a hardness strength. I haven't seen any documents to support this. Why would someone use a polyurea as a base coat when epoxy has a better adhesion strength...
