The hand grinder that I used had an attachment to hook up a vacuum. I used my shopvac (5hp), but it seems that it couldn't handle all the dust that the grinder was kicking up. In addition, the filter would get clogged frequently. I am hoping that I can just use a paint stripper to get it off...

Thank you for your advice. I am pretty sure that I removed all of the sealer as the floor was soaking up the water that I used to rinse off the etch solution. I'll try your tape and screwdriver test tomorrow. But for now, I had some epoxy left over from my initial application, so I patched...

Scott, If I have soft concrete, what can I do? I do not want to pour a concrete floor. What I noticed it that I can peel the epoxy off the floor with a razor blade. It looks like the underside of the epoxy has a faint layer of the concrete floor attached. So it could be weak concrete, who...

I had to grind down the floor. Afterwhich I acid washed the floor. Are you saying the I didn't rinse the floor sufficiently? If that's the case, what do I do now? I do not want to grind the epoxy off. Heck, I've already invested way too much time into this and too much money. I'm starting...

I will probably go with a urethane caulk as this is easier for me to purchase. Thank you for your suggestions.

I have a gap/opening that runs around the perimeter of my floor. It is where the floor butts against the foundation wall. The gap varies in width from 0 to 1/8". Can I use regular acrylic caulk to fill the gap and then epoxy over the gap. Will the epoxy stick to the caulk, or should I simply...

I figured that my floor had some sealer on it since the color was darker than my neighbor's, so I rented a sanding disc machine. They are usually used for sanding wood floors, but i got the coarse sanding disc (20 grit) and tried it. Well, it only sanded the high spots, so i went back to the...

New to this board. I had purchased a couple of waterbase Rustoleum epoxy kits a few months back and decided to read up on reviews before commencing work on my garage floor. Well, I am kinda scared after reading all the problems people have encountered with the rustoleum products. I don't want...
