You're welcome. Good luck with your floor.

When I look closely at my floor, I see little holes and scrapes caused by dropped tools, jack stands, etc. There is also a spot where the urethane yellowed a bit from when one of my cars dripped oil and I didn't clean it up for maybe a month or two. This is my first epoxy floor and, honestly, I...
