Hi there, I took a look at your site, and was curious if you were aware of any your customers that had several years of ware and tare on one of your floor systems? If so, is there a way to get in touch with them? Thanks, Clint

Hey there fat rat, You da man! This is exacly the kind of information I'm looking for. Is yours like my current floor? Color coat, vinyl flakes, then a clear coat? I'd love to see some pic's of not only the best areas, but the worst as well. Also is there a way to confirm that it's Sherwin...

Hey gussteve, I wish your finisher knew what it was he was useing, might be worth looking at. I've met with a few flooring professionals here in the St.Louis area to talk about a floor and all they have are pic's when the floors are brand new. And like the first company I dealt with, I was...

Hey there, You bet I remember. U Coat-it was the company we used. Clint

Hi all, Like many of you, I was as proud as a new Papa when my new shop floor was first finished. But almost immediately, things started to go wrong, and just got worse by the day. Stains of all sorts, tire marks, clear coat peeling away, sun damage just to name a few. Well, it's been about five...

Hey all, Thanks for all the input. I think grinding is starting to look like the answer. I would however like to know what the "chemical stripping" process is all about before I get started with the grinders. I'd call U-coat it, but based on the quality of all the other info I've been fed by...

Thanks again for the input. I'll round up some close up shots of the floor and some of the bad spots and post them. It may be early next week, but I'll get it done. I spent a TON on this floor and to have it hold up as poorly as it did just makes me sick. Clint

Hey there, I won't say your concrete guy is doing an "overkill" job around your lift, but here's what I did on my floor and lift area. My floor is all 6" thick, 6 bag mix with fiberglass (kitty hair) strand as well. I also put down screen over the entire area. When it came to the lift, I dug the...

Hey There, Thanks for the replys you guys. I do have a question about the comment on blasting. What type of blasting would remove that much material (concrete)? The only blasting method I've heard of uses steel shot and won't remove concrete. Or so I'm told. Clint

Hey there, I just found this site yesterday and man, do I ever wish I knew about it a few years back. I built a 42' x 64' x 14' about five years ago to house my Snap-On business. I ended up selling the business before the shop was even done. So I built an office with a shipping room in one...

Hi all, Just found this forum yesterday and I think there's more than enough knowledge here to help with my problem. I did my shop floor about five years ago with U-Coat it. The clear has been popping up & blistering in a random "worm trail" pattern for a couple years and now it's peeling up in...
