As the title states I have forgotten how long you have to wait to grind the floor. I have a box and it states 8 hours to cure for sanding and painting, but as always Im skeptical. I will be patching the settlement cracks in the second garage tomorrow and would love to rent a grinder and be...

The garage is on the basement level, but I will be sealing the trim area that leads to the main level. The garage is pretty dry, aside from the humidity we have most of the year. As for chemicals they are out of the question as I have kids and the bug problem isnt bad. Id just like to make it...

I know this may have been beaten to death, but I have searched and gotten the typical information and just want to confirm with yall. I have a 1.5 car garage Im slowly but surely turning into a man cave/office/shop and have been trying to come up with ideas to seal it from bugs and other pests...

Yeah most of the floor is ready but there are a few spots that bead away even 100% muratic acid. So I am going to hand wire brush and wire brush on a grinder and hope for the best.

Here are some pics of my garage after 1 degreasing and 3 etchings (really 1.5 as Im sure I did the first etch poorly). Im at a lose I dont know if the floor is ready as it does have a profile, but Im not sure its 120grit level profile. there are some smoother spots then others which makes me...
