The longest run is probably about 50'. The bulb draws almost nothing in terms of amps (maybe 5ma). I'm not sure what amperage is drawn by the push buttons.

I recently installed a rotary phase converter and three wall mounted switches around the shop. The switches are momentary start/stop push button type that were sold to me by the company I purchased the phase converter through. They recommended running 18/6 thermostat wire from the converter...

It's 60% or 65% solids

Thanks, fellas. Your advice has been valuable and is greatly appreciated!

Are you talking about sanding just the areas that haven't yet been topcoated or are you saying to also sand and re-topcoat the areas that have already been topcoated?

This is with 2 coats of topcoat: This is the uncoated section:

I have a 9" electric drywall sander with variable speed between 800 and 1200 rpm and some 180 grit mesh sanding screens. Will that work?

This was scraped fairly aggressively in four directions.

Thanks for your detailed response, Alpha Garage. I got the second topcoat on in the two smaller rooms and it took a total of 4 gallons; so your calculation of 16 gallons is spot on. I was able to get the 2nd coat on within the recoat window. I left the big room uncoated. I am now outside the...

We just finished applying a full flake epoxy coating to my shop floor. It's 2130 sq ft of floor area. My supplier sent 6 gallons of 1-part urethane top coat and assured me that one coat is all that is required. I marked out 355 sq ft sections so I knew how far to spread each gallon. I started...

We got the epoxy and flake down on Friday. I mapped out the floor in sections to be sure we didn't run out towards the end. Each section was 235 sq ft and I had a little less than 40 lb box for each section. For the first section, I was broadcasting cautiously and I used a little over 20 lbs of...

Thank you everyone for your input and suggestions. I finished grinding the floor and figured I'd post back with my experience. I used the two-head Edco machine. It is a very solid and heavy piece of equipment, however it has a 1-1/2 hp electric motor and I feel it is underpowered. The machine...

AlphaGarage, Armorpoxy, & Shea, thank you for the recommendations. I purchased additional flake so I now have 330 lbs. I'll post back with the actual amount we used when the project is finished for anyone curious.

I have about 2100 square feet of floor and my supplier recommended 150 lbs of flake for a full broadcast. I questioned this at the time and he assured me it would be enough. He even threw in an additional 10 lbs to ease my concerns. We're finally getting around to doing the floor and I'm...

The final decision is to go with the two-head Edco machine with the red 30-grit Dyma-dots for hard concrete. I have a Ridgid shop vac fitted with a bag and fine filter and connected to a Dust-deputy. It did a great job with my 7" grinder. Will that be sufficient with the two-head Edco machine...
