    Grind marks - move on or keep working

    Shiftless, I guess you are correct. Working on all these DIY projects in a bubble gets a person second guessing everything. At least it does me, lol!

    Grind marks - move on or keep working

    Lol, this project is doing a good job of helping me reign in my OCD. Ha! I would say that much of the area will have either rolling tool boxes or in the cases of the sides, storage shelving. The main part, yes covered by a vehicle I'm working on. So plenty of visual distractions as opposed to...

    Grind marks - move on or keep working

    Hi all, I just finished grinding and I'm trying to decide if I can move on to finishing or if I should work on the grind marks. Some info on the job: - Plan was to put down a tinted coat of Nohr-S Polyurea, throw some mild flakes, then top with clear coat of Nohr-S Polyurea with grit. - I'm...

    Paint for stem wall, apron and landing in garage

    Is there any clear topcoat product (urethane, for instance?) that would do a better job of UV rejection? The sun is only going to be more intense as the years go on down here in TX.

    Paint for stem wall, apron and landing in garage

    Thanks Shea! I was wondering on the apron, as I've seen many people use their epoxy and some not. Will my topcoat of 1 part polyurea or similar topcoat provide UV protection for the main floor where I will be using the good 2-part epoxy system? There will be some sun exposure on the leading edge...

    Paint for stem wall, apron and landing in garage

    Hello, I've got my garage floor and all other parts (small stem wall, small apron lip and landing) ground and patched and ready for epoxy/paint. I'm on a tight budget and I've got a 2 part epoxy flake kit that will cover the main floor at about 320 sq ft. The thing is I doubt I'll have enough...

    Armorpoxy SPGX or Armorclad Epoxy for 30year old concrete

    Wondering how the floor turned out? Considering using SPGX as well. Might use their primer first to get better coverage out of the SPGX, but unsure. Thanks! RH

    DIY prep options - old concrete - 400 sq ft

    Ok, well I completely forgot about posting this as other house issues (septic :ROFLMAO:) got me distracted and Winter arrived. Ok so an update and thank you for all the comments. I'm back now in the garage and I managed to do some spot grinding with 5" wheel and dust shroud and my dust...

    DIY prep options - old concrete - 400 sq ft

    I do tend to devalue my time :LOL: I was looking at your website and the various products and I'm thinking that maybe I can do this and have the epoxy style floor I wanted. I am going to do some spot grinding this weekend with just my 4 1/2" cup. I did some water tests and the entire floor...

    DIY prep options - old concrete - 400 sq ft

    I need help deciding or facing reality on what I can do for my floor on a budget. Below is a pic of how most of the 38 yr old floor looks. Very little of it has that smooth quality. Most is rough sandpaper style. Time has not been it's friend. So I was going to just have a professional epoxy...
