the floor has ..run away fast written all over that. so if you are looking for a cheap (relatively) quick fix.. 1. grind floor as smooth as desired 2. vacuum floor 3. degrease acid etch and rinse thoroughly 4.fill cracks with polymer concrete patch 5.prime floor with proper adhesion product...

Re: My Wolverine Epoxy floor Nightmare one thing can be agreed on is.. this is a nightmare! and it's for both parties. Look everyone.. this type of thing does happen with all different products regardless of manufacture and installers professional or DIYer. I've had my share and I've been...

ah... why don't you just buy from their supplier??? http://www.floorchips.com/color_chips.html

Most epoxies will not hold up to heavy sharp edges and/or melted metal. though.... adding quartz aggregate via broadcast or slurry will make a very tough floor but hot metal can make it look ugly quick. there are some products out there.. but you are going to pay a lot of money per gallon and...

Devoe products that I have used with great success. 4508H base and second coat 379 uva polyurethane top coat. I'm very hesitant to put epoxies over thinsets as there could be some de-lamination between the OC and the thinset or between the thinset and epoxy. I'd recommend using an epoxy...

Oh.. I've been there...:( did a condo where the next door neighbors compalined about the smell and fumes.. had to get a hotel room for the night and wanted me to pay for it... the home owner we did the work for didn't even notice the smell. Raining? what is the humidity level.. We've...

We've done a few with painting epoxy squares.. I start with a base color. usually lighter of the two colors and lay that down. and let it down then determine my checkerboard color layout. I always like having a border around the define the area.. it also helps to even out the size of the...

Durall is a good product and I've laid thousands of square footage of their product. the product flows and coats very well and drys to a nice shine. their sunshine urethane top coat is a little touchy when it is warm out as it flashes quick. Never a warranty issue with them as none of their...

sounds like age discrimination to me

Mark a Premier garage is doing great because he packaged up a franchise and is charging a lot of money to get into the business. top fortune 500 franchises tells you something. Not sure if the franchizees are making money but he is. Some of his suppliers has screwed him, some of his...
