"- I mixed, poured, and spread out the first BondTite kit with a roller while my husband..." Well, there were a lot of "we" statements, but I think "well done mam" might be appropriate in this case. Of course husband doesn't necessarily imply wife anymore. Either way, well done and Impressive...

I had similar thoughts when I had my garage coated. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=257882 It's been down for more than a year now, no issues with a mop or squeegee. I like it now, prevents slip and falls with snow or water.

The solvent based rustoleum pro epoxy kit is a fairly common entry level epoxy floor coating. ~70% solids. Requires two coats to look right. Search and you'll find several people on the forum who have used it. I have the rustoleum product in my barn, and a Sherwin Williams product in my...

Check the lift install documentation for the concrete requirement . Last I looked it was 4" without reinforcement.

Yes, there is a lot of vendor posting, but overall I find it's helpful. They tend to actually know what they're talking about and They respond to the thousandth newbie thread. Most are somewhat considerate of the other vendors. I'm not a moderator, so I don't have to deal with the policing.

I think your plan of 1.5 kits each coat will work. I did something similar with a little more square footage.

A lot of us have had good experience with the rustoleum pro solvent based kit. It won't cover those pits, some other product is required for that if you want it to look nice. Count on two coats, the first one will not be uniform in appearance. It's a good compromise if you're not trying to make...

My floor looked as described after one coat, but looked great after two. Same product. This is a solvent based epoxy. It is similar to what other systems use for a primer so no special primer is required. If your still in the recoat time window, putting down another coat is a no brainer. If...

I was in a similar situation. I went with an acid etch and two coats rustoleum pro solvent based epoxy in my shop (DIY install). I really appreciate it every time I sweep the floor or lay down on it, but I don't cry too much when it gets dinged. I had a professional come in and grind and put...

Ok, thank you for the responses. I was debating adding a polyurethane top coat to smooth it out some, but that might eliminate the "anti slip" function. I may also be outside the re-coat window. I wasn't sure how to interpret the data sheet. It wouldn't really be practical to try and scuff the...

I had my garage floor epoxied a couple of days ago. The floor looks good, but the anti slip is more prominent than I was expecting. The epoxy is gp 3744. generalpolymers.com/drop/3744p.pdf The anti slip was broadcast after the flakes. I'm not sure what the anti slip product is. It looks...

The puddles typically form from water brought in by the cars. That can be a lot of water in the winter. The exterior grading is ok, but the slab inside the door has a couple of low spots. There are not any drains in the garage. I'm still considering running a saw cut through the puddles to...

Thanks for the pic fix. I guess I managed the pictorial version of typing in all caps.

I'm going to have my garage floor coated with epoxy, but I have an existing issue that I need to take car if first. I get a couple of puddles near the garage door. Is it possible to grind enough off the threshold with the floor prep machine to fix this? Do you think adding another saw cut...
