    Horrible garage floor needs makeover - repairing concrete?

    A few of the respondents above called it correct. There are most likely underlying issues with either the slab or the sub base. I would say 9 times out of 10 something is going on with those lateral cracks. You could do a short term cosmetic repair but chances are a tear out and replace will...

    What is best? 3 day or 1 day garage floors? HELP!

    Lifetime warranties are purely bs. We have diverted many clients away from epoxy coatings to concrete polishing when they are looking for a ultra long term floor.

    The Skunkworks Epoxy-Coat project.

    Outgassing more certainly refers to the concrete exhaling usually after a diamond or resin pad grind out or cut. Outgassing and moisture vapor transmission can increase after profiling a floor. Might have to use a MBV product to bring the numbers down.

    Self Leveling Concrete ??'s

    If you can find a local vendor that will sell it to you, go with ARDEX or SIKA or a BASF product. Anything that is rated for DOT exterior will hold up to most anything up north. Be prepared to spend a few bucks on bag mix for any of the above though
