adding an office at the end of the shop on the right of the bar. Will post pics when finished. Floor is done and looks amazing.:thumbup:

did you use a number 3 trowell?

Nice job :thumbup: My second car was a 1980 Camaro Z28. Midnight blue with baby blue stripes, cowl induction hood, man I miss that car. Is your car lift an Eagle lift? It looks like mine, a 7000XLT made by Eagle. Greg

From a company called the Glow. You need a contractors license to buy it though. It cost 75.00 a kit. My 1,500 sf took 4 kits on the first coat and another 3 kits on the second and final coat.

You have to use a buffer with 80 grit to scuff it up (scratch) so that the clear Polyurathane has something to bite into (stick to). Needless to say it's is a maintance free surface. No waxing and buffing. It will always have a high gloss, protect the tiles, and had a added level of...

Well, I still have one more coat to apply on Weds. It is a VCT tile and I added a top coat of polyurathane. Greg

I painted the stem walls also. I painted the tire tracks (still have masking material on it), with the white epoxy, and then the black epoxy. Monday is the day I lay down the final product, clear Poly Urathane over every thing. :thumbup:

Yes it did. This morning I pouerd muratic acid deluted with water and placed it on the concrete to open up the pours While that sat I used the buffer and stiff pad to clean the VCT tiles with some water and amonua product After I spayed it off with water, used the squeezy, and got it...

Just as important as the product(s) used is the prep. After cleaning the floors acid needs to be used to open up the pours of the cement so that the product(s) wil adhere or bite into the cement. I have seen where degreaser could not get all of the stains from oils out only to have the epoxy...

Been busy removing the old paint in what is the rv tire tracks. I need to do this before I acid etch the concrete prior to the first step, the primer. Then followed by the white epoxy, maskin of squares (like the VCT size), and using then black epoxy creating the same checker board look, but...

Did I mention that I have a class A diesel pusher that is 38' long and weighs over 38,000 pounds. Because I am going to lay down clear epoxy over my VCT flooring I did not want to risk it. Belive me I thought long and hard about it. I thought that since I was pulling in forwards perhaps that...

Good point about buying equipment from auctions. There are always shops going under and then go to auction. You really can get some great deals. We had a Bridgeport with the EZ Track add on system. Nice set up. Does not take nearly as much power as a true CNC vertical milling machine. Less...

I had owned an operated a CNC machine shop for close to 20 years. 15-25 employees over the years. As I read your post I had a feeling you were in the business. Wish I could have taken some of the machines and tools when I left the business to my brother. However, having a smaller detached...

I have done 4 garages with epoxy, 2 myself and 2 done with a contractor. My thoughts: My first garage space was a 4 car attached garage used for parking mostly. I used a 1 part epoxy Home Depot, Baer (sp) product. I followed the instructions by: 1) taking out the oils stains first...
