    How much to rent a Floor grinder? Is it available in Canada?

    Prep after Grind?

    Metallic Epoxy Floor - Wolverine

    Hi everyone. Thanks for the responses. I guess I should have been more clear. In reference to thegarageguy's question: yes, it is the "molten metal" coating you speak of. I just know it by "metallic epoxy." A friend of mine is in the business and has done several and is going to "see me through"...
