    600 sf Epoxy-Coat in Phoenix

    It's Epoxy-Coat's taupe color. Kinda a "creamy" gray. The chips do alot to change how the eye perceives the overall color and if you're looking for a blueish hue this base coat may be good along with some different color blues in the chips you choose. My best advise, get some samples from...

    600 sf Epoxy-Coat in Phoenix

    Without measuring, I would say that mine is about 30" wide as well, no idea why it is there either.

    600 sf Epoxy-Coat in Phoenix

    So far so good...they look the same today as the day i finished the floor. 10 lbs. of flakes...and the squeegee is to spread the epoxy around after you mix and pour it on the floor. I would recommend using the squeegee as much as possible, spread the epoxy to cover your entire section fairly...

    600 sf Epoxy-Coat in Phoenix

    I would have used 1.5 kits if I ordered online, but because I went to Lowe's for the product, I got 2 kits because they only sell full kits there and didn't even think about special ordering. I am glad that I got 2 because there was no question of whether or not I would have enough, however...

    Frustations with Epoxy Coat

    If Epoxy-Coat's product was not available at Lowe's, I probably would have bought just a kit and a half...however, I chose to just get two full kits from Lowe's because they don't have the half kits and the online price for a half kit from Epoxy-Coat is actually a few dollars more than a full...

    600 sf Epoxy-Coat in Phoenix

    I would definitely get the spike shoes, I got a pair of lawn aerator shoes online for $12 I think and although it is possible to do it without them, it makes spreading the flakes much easier and practically indispensable for doing the clear in that it's so hard to tell if you missed any spots or...

    Wall mounted work lights?

    In case anyone is interested, I solved this problem. I purchased 2 pendant lights with solid downrods from Lowes for $35 each and a conduit bender as well. The rods bent nicely into 90 degree angles, and I protected the finish with just some scraps of cardboard between the rods and bender. I...

    Frustations with Epoxy Coat

    I did 600 sq/ft with 2 full kits of EC from Lowes and 1.5 kits of clear. I don't think that I would have wanted to stretch it much farther than what I did, the peace of mind that I had enough material was definitely worth it. That said, my last batch was somewhat short on activator as...

    Wall mounted work lights?

    Hey guys, Wondering if anyone can point me to a wall mounted work light solution for my garage. I have 3 2'x2' windows in my garage with about 1' of wall space between each one and an 8' shop table below the windows that I want illuminated. I was going to put 3 can lights in the ceiling but...

    600 sf Epoxy-Coat in Phoenix

    The base was purchased from the Lowe's at Higley and the 60...the clear from Epoxy-Coat online Nope...definitely not. it is flexible but with the epoxy on top it seems just as hard as the rest of the floor.
