What did you end up doing? I could just use the standard wedge type and use a small amount of epoxy on each. Some of the older instal threads that seems like what some people did. I was just trying to be proactive with the epoxy anchors, but it seems like it would actually be worse to use...
Installing a Max Jax lift in my garage that has a 4" slab that meets the published requirements. Opted to use the Optional Epoxy Grip Anchor Bolt Kit as I wanted the extra bit of security and will be removing/installing the lift and thought I might work the wedge style standard anchor loose...
So I was really wanting some color myself as well. Thought "gee this would be perfect if I got color and no maintenance". But EVERYONE I suggested that to said it wouldn't look good at all, muted/matte etc.. Basically for color to look decent you have to put a epoxy or similar clear topcoat...
It turned out well enough. Time will be the true test. It honestly looks exactly the same as it did, only water/liquid sits on top. I read a lot before choosing this route and everyone said “its going to look exactly the same once done”. I thought to myself certainly something would change...
Finally got the time to put down my Ghostshield Lithi-Tek 4500 Densifier and will be doing the 8510 sealer after.
What would be the recommended length of time from applying the densifier to applying the penetrating sealer?
This is from their application instructions
"Typical drying time is...
So obviously I'm not a concrete guy asking these questions, but from what I can tell those are from "ZIP STRIPS". Something they use to make their jobs easier I guess. And I think they just did a crappy job with them as well, I'm sure if you lay them at the right depth and take your time to make...
Getting ready to put down densifier/penetrating sealer on my garage floor and am trying to determine the best way to fill these expansion cracks. A self leveling product like sikaflex I think would work, but the cracks themselves look like helen keller did them, plus there is the left over zip...
Thats what I was thinking as well regarding the adherance of the sikaflex. I think my steps will be
1. Clean-let dry
2. Densify
3. SikaFlex the joints
3. spray the 8510
By doing the joints before the 8510 I should be good. Wanting to do the joints is mostly just because I don't want to lose...
Re: Edco 10" Grinding/Leveling Advice / Dyma-Dot grit advice
Thanks for the feedback. Canceled the edco rental. Just going to clean and put down the 4500 / 8510 and move on with life. Probably going to fill the expansion cracks with sikaflex in an attempt to make it look a little more...
