The Ratchet? Why? It's a Canadian Tire MasterCraft brand.

I bought a 3 in 1 in Canada for a similar reason as most of you. Cars are my primary hobby, and I just want to make simple parts, experiment, and play with metal that my job as a Mechanical Engineer doesn't really allow me. I bought the 3in1, and have been reasonably happy with it. It has...

I would also like to add... that I was doing some math for the cost stickie thread and realized I only used about 166 sqft/Gal on the first coat. This is because I mixed 4 gallons total, but I had about a gallon left over in the bucket still. Maybe more. There's a LOT left over, I'm not sure...

I'd just like to add in here a note about usage on the ArmorSeal 1000HF, because I had read BMWPower's notes, and couldn't really figure out how much I was going to need. Here's what my experience was: Floor is just under 500 sq/ft. I mixed 2 kits, so 4 gallons of mixed product total for my...

Well, I put down the second coat on Wednesday night. I realize I went against a lot of advice here, but... I didn't see Wolverine's post first of all. Secondly, I really think there's some misunderstanding between what it actually looked like vs. what the perceptions are. Again, the bubbling...

Just an update on this. I applied the second coat, this time the inside entry door was taped shut the whole time, and we had a window cracked in the house to make sure there was no negative pressure. I myself exited the garage via the side entry door. This time, the house was fine. We left...

I looked at the floor this morning, and it's not as bad as I feared. The alligator skin appearance is just that. It's not cracked through or anything like that. The "cracks" are only a couple thou deep. You can only see them in the light at certain angles. And the bubbles are only where...

Yeah, I'm kinda pissed, because the coverage rating for ArmorSeal and TileClad is the same. So I assumed I'd need need the extra armount, but it quickly became apparent that I'd have a whole kit wasted in the bucket unless I started slathering it on... and now I have this mess. These lines...

I also have a question about how bad the fumes are in your house. The first time I used this stuff, I used SW TileClad. I had to do it with the rollup doors closed because it was too cold outside. I told my wife to keep the entry door closed, but it inevitably ended up being opened a few...

In my last house, I used SW TileClad to cover my 340sq.ft. garage. I bought one kit (1GalA, 1GalB) and did one coat, thinking that was all that was needed. Well, it was barely enough for the space, and I ended up having to "stretch" the paint to finish the job. It ended up being too thin, so...

Steve, that's good to hear. How much working do you do in the garage? I have a welder, but I can accept having to put something on the floor for spatter. My lathe is in the basement this time, so that's one big dirty messy thing to not worry about anymore. What if you were to drop...

Ok, my other option (other than VCT) is to use 1000HS as I think it's the best/only thing available in Canada. We seem to only have water based epoxy at the big home stores. So here's my questions: My garage is about 450-500sq.ft. How many "kits" will I need to do one coat? I know there's a...

I just moved into a house, and it has a virgin floor. I'd like to put down a flooring, because I like to keep the garage neat and clean looking, even though I do some moderate work. I had use Behr "1 Part Epoxy" :confused: in another garage, and it was ****. Gasoline spills quickly lifted it...
