    Brand New Concrete in Auto Shop - What coating

    Legacy Industrial and Alphagarage both sell excellent products with the urethane coatings (I like the urethane coating separate). Cost per sf depends on the chosen coatings, whether or not you use primer and choice of topcoat(urethane). In addition to these vendors there are others such as...

    Armor Chip

    If your much over 400sf - make sure you apply the primer as thin as possible or you may run out. The concrete I coated was very porous and I had to work at making sure I didn't run out. After about the 3rd 400sf area I had the coverage figured out and had a tad (50sf estimated) left on each of...

    Pressure Washer Surface Cleaners

    You might want to consider the General Pump water broom. When used in conjunction with the surface cleaner it does a fantastic job. You can also use it for cleaning after coating by reducing (way down) your pressure. Sequence: Etch Rinse with high pressure water broom - you can see the...

    Armor Chip

    Yes - feathered during backroll in about a 12" section of unsprinkled previous section. Got to be quick on backroll if doing by yourself. Takes about 15min to spread 100sf, backroll and sprinkle - this was the timing after the first couple sections - after getting the feel of it. Sprinkle...

    Armor Chip

    I have purchased the Armor Chp from Armorgarage and installed it in a 2400 sf shop with the flakes and "forklift duty topcoat". 1 I was told it would ship Fedex - part of the order did - light stuff like the spikes and squeegee and some of the coating materials. The remaining materials were...

    UV Resistant clearcoat???

    From the SEAL-KRETE website - look at the limitations - not for 2 part epoxy. You might want to contact Legacyindustrial on this board or website and get advice. If you walk on the ramp and its coated with epoxy you may want to consider some anti-skid with the clear coat. Clear-Seal Premium...

    Positive feedback Bessey Tools (vise)

    About 6 months ago I bought a MPV5 Bessey vise at Lowes. Put it on the shelf in the box it came in without opening it. About 3-4 weeks ago I opened the box only to find the base ring had one of the hold down tabs broken off. Should have thought this when I bought it cause the box was pretty...

    Anyone used ArmorGarage / ArmorPoxy?

    I have a 60 x 40 shop which I've finally gotten partially complete with the Armorgarage product. I've got to move 1/2 of the contents over on to the newly coated area then I will complete it. As to Armorgarage - it is in a sense an affiliate of the Armorpoxy operation. In fact some of the...
