    Concrete basement prep options?

    Also with regards to what The Garage Guy said regarding moisture vapor transmission. Basements are prone to it. You might want to consider the application of a good moisture vapor block primer prior to an epoxy application. You can kill off anywhere from 15 to 25 lbs of hydrostratic pressure...

    epoxy my garage floor

    Diamond grinding might be the best option if there is a sealer, the acid etch isnt as thorough. Again as everybody has indicated, the more prep the better the bond. More floors delaminate because of poor preparation.

    My Epoxy Coat / Legacy Industrial Project

    Why not use a diamond cup wheel for your grinder. It will cut through that material much faster and leave a good abraded surface. Also watch that acid, make sure you are pouring acid into water and not water into acid and finally just use a simple sprinkling can for distribution. You don't...
