    Ballistix coating review

    Ballistix coating review

    qcarm, I used the gloss (Squire). I think you could do 1/2 at a time. I would mask off the floor a bit where I was going to stop. The spray is wide and if there is a half done transition area I'm not sure how well that would work. It is said to have a 7 day shelf life after mixing. You can walk...

    Ballistix coating review

    I can't say much about the temperature tolerance. When I did it, we backed our way out into 30 degrees outside.

From a recent walk through it it looks like they clean the units well but I figure renting the cleaner...

    Another Ballistix install thread

    The floor looks great! Nice work. I am going to use the same kit and process in a couple of weeks on a new 780 sq. ft. shop space. The one question I have is...Did you use the isopropyl alcohol on the floor after the 8400 sealer was cured and just prior to applying the Ballistix? I did not see a...
