I sealed my brushed concrete driveway with V-Seal 102 in the summer of 2013. IS it recommended to reseal it now (four years later)? If so, what would be the appropriate product? Thanx.

Well I found two reviews from the Home Depot site (below) so I won't be getting this stuff. http://reviews.homedepot.com/1999/202247418/1-qt-premium-paint-and-epoxy-remover-reviews/reviews.htm Very slow and weak acting paint remover. Took 3/4 quart, three coats, and one hour to barely remove 2...

How did you hang the car on the ceiling? Is it the new "in" thing? Save room for equipment on the floor? :thumbup:

I spilled some epoxy on the driveway while doing my garage. Is there any epoxy remover that I can use without damaging the driveway? The driveway is concrete. I am going to seal the driveway and need to remove the epoxy eyesores first. I saw this product at Lowes, but I am not sure if it will...

I am thinking of going with V-Seal 102 for my driveway (need a low maintenance penetrating product). In trying to determine how much I need, I have been in touch with V-seal, but they have a range of coverage (200-300 sq ft/gal). Well, I understand that it is based on concrete porosity, but what...

I used Elitecrete primer VB-5. I still saw bubbles. Only a few- about half dozen bubble craters that I noticed long after the epoxy-coat cured. Either the moisture is in the epoxy or it is just air bubbles formed while rolling. Most of them were in the final section that I did. If you do the...

I noticed a few bubble marks on my application too. Not too many- Most seemed to be in the last section I did, when the temperature was hottest. I noticed that the Epoxy-coat was a little tougher to spread than the other 3 sections. All mixing time, etc was the same. I did use a primer under...

I forgot to blue tape the concrete wall blocks near the floor and got epoxy on them. Will I be able to put regular paint on the epoxy or will the paint not stick?

I used a backer rod and Sikaflex SL from Home Depot...

Here's my saga for for future generations: The garage is a new construction about 440 sq. ft. I started out by smoothing the edges of the expansion joint groove with a Kobalt rub brick from Lowes. Swept the floor and blew it out with a leaf blower. The next step was filling in the expansion...

Thanks. I saw a reference to Sikaflex SL in an old thread and used that.

Gene- I think you mentioned it but I wanted to confirm again... HOw long after I put down the VB-5 can I wait to apply Epoxy-coat? I acid etched today and am waiting for the floor to dry overnight.

If you have a Grainger store in your city, you can order them and pick up from the store to avoid shipping. If you work for a company that does business with them, they may offer a discount as well. You'd have to call and order- you won't find any discount on their website. They are usually...

UV light will not affect an inorganic metal salt. However, loss of water will. As long as there is bound water, it will remain blue.
