    First coat of epoxy, didn't use as much as I thought I needed?

    Thanks! Yes it was bare concrete but it wasn't very smooth to begin with. But it was very clean for a 25 year old floor. I think the previous owners used the garage for storage only. Top coat went down Tuesday night. Just waiting fir everything to cure now

    First coat of epoxy, didn't use as much as I thought I needed?

    Thanks for those calculations. i measured and the garage is actually 30x24 so I am doing 15x24 at a time. I finally got time to work on the second half. This time I put it on more liberally and when I got to 75% of the area covered I dumped the rest of the epoxy down and spread it real good...

    First coat of epoxy, didn't use as much as I thought I needed?

    So I got the second coat on tonight. I put it on wicked thick and even painted the edges of the foundation and i still ended up with 3/4 of a gallon extra! That means I wasted almost a whole kit between the two coats. Tomorrow I'm putting on the clear coat, only one gallon per kit so hopefully...

    First coat of epoxy, didn't use as much as I thought I needed?

    I have a 720 sq ft garage and started to put my epoxy down tonight. I have to do the garage in sections since I couldn't move everything out for a week. So I did the first coat of the front half of the garage tonight. I used Rustoleum Professional and the kit says 2 gallons should do 300-400...
