Ordered. Should arrive next week. Cool!

I've just been down this road myself and am choosing Racedeck over epoxy in large part because of expedience. I live in the northeast and the weather has decidedly turned colder here. Given that epoxy finishes and the like are very sensitive to proper floor prep, and a large part of that is...
