Hello all! I have an epoxy floor that is about 5 years old, so the topcoat is looking a bit rough. Still intact, but dull looking. Is there anything that can be done to make it look better? We are going to put our house up for sale and I would rather a bandaid and put the $ into a garage...

Thanks everyone!

Ok, that helps. Nothing special just a sanding disk that fits a grinder. Got it. Is there something special about a grinder versus a random orbit sander?? Just curious as I have both ......

AG - can you send me a link to the type of sandpaper dish you are talking about for a grinder? I am finding that there are multiple types.

The contractor that did my garage floor decided to extend the epoxy floor out to the first expansion joint outside the garage doors. It's fading due to UV exposure and I want to remove it versus painting it again. It's only about 3 - 10" strips so a grinder seems like overkill. Would...

The original contractor did not put a traction additive. I about bust my **** after entering the garage when blowing snow. I am definitely going to add that to the list this time.

My garage is around 900 ft2. So its a single part urethane?

Any idea how much working time this urethane has in a very dry climate? I can control the temperature as my garage is air conditioned.

Yes, and I will be doing it myself so I am suspicious it will not go lightning fast. Most of these coating specify a tack free time, but not a working time. Maybe they are the same. I can close the garage up so cure time really isn't a big deal in my case. What is a good, but long working...

Hi everyone. I paged through about 10 pages on this forum and didn't see anything about re-coating an epoxy floor (most are new installs). I have an epoxy floor that is about 6 years old. Need to do some touch up on the grey and then reapply several coats of clear. I think the original...

Sorry, yes it is a circular saw. Success today. I hit the bolt with my map gass torch. To my surprise it immediately released. Thanks for the advice.

I’m visiting my daughter and her fiancé did not realize the blade screw was left handed. Vise grips aren’t working. He wrenched it in there pretty good. I was thinking about cutting off the head and then trying vice grips, but if I don’t have enough screw to get ahold of that might be a...

I have purchased a Modine 60,000 unit to heat my garage. There are a couple of items I could use some help on: 1. I am in an earthquake zone. I am aware of the required use of the flexible gas line and shutoff valve, but I'm wondering if there are any earthquake requirements on how I mount...
