2nd coat applied, sand and flakes! Fingers crossed for no bubbles...:beer:

Looking good!

Thanks for the advice beltfeed, but the spike boats actually worked good, their 4" deck screws and theirs 15 under each boot and I weight close to 200lbs. A few pics a few hours after first coat Here's a few pics 16 hours after first coat... The first coat looks good, very shinny and...

ok, I went to rent out the Edco grinder with diamond stones to grind the floor... 140$ not cheap for a 4 hour use. Epoxy filled crack before grinding Epoxy filled crack after one pass The grinding continues And more grinding Not as dusty as I was expecting Almost done Decided to...

Ryan, you are correct, it's only 12x19. I was just planning according to the single batch mix that should cover approx. half the floor. I'm also applying 2 coats. I could also mix a double batch, pour the whole double batch around the perimeter of the garage and squegee all the epoxy towards...

hummmm, I think thats a great idea! Let's ask the expert, ... What do you think Christine? Would this help to hide the joints between coats? Thanks bazzateer!

ok, so I got everything out of the garage, I trimmed out that styrofoam sticking out around the slab... at least now I'll be able to go right up to the edge with the grinder. And this is one reason I'm diamond grinding the whole floor I have to smooth down those epoxy filled cracks...

Redshift, I'm guessing yes.... Christine says 1 section to completion... From your experience, you don't think this would be a good idea?

Perfect! I think I'm ready to diamond grind first thing Saturday morning! Thanks Christine!

Christine, so you suggest applying epoxy to one section, squegee, backroll, wait approx. 10 min then backroll a second time ...... then mix a second batch and repeat steps for the second section??? If so, that would be way easier! Then the next day (within 24h) I could apply a second coat to...

oh and can I use the 6 gallon bucket for every batch?

So what would be best, having someone mix the second batch while backrolling the first section? then I would be ready to apply the epoxy to the second section hoping it will blend in well with the first. Then as soon as I'm done with the first backroll of the second section I go back and do the...

I'm not sure when I'll be applying yet. I need to diamond grind first and I'm racing Sunday, so this weekend isn't a good time for me. Oh, more questions LOL! After applying the first batch, squegee, backroll once... I move on to another section. At that point, can I re-use the 6 galon...

Got my Kit today! Thanks again Christine!!!! Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer all of my questions, really appreciate it!!! :-)

Christine, when diamond grinding, do I ask for a specific type of diamond wheel? I'm asking because the guy at the rental shop told me they have different types of wheels for different finishes. If I say I want a 120 grit finish, is that enough? Also, If I diamond grind, do I need to use the...

I did that near the door, but it's still bothers me, lol. I'll apply the epoxy right to the styrofoam and deal with that later I think. My other option would be to bring the drywall over the foundation wall down to the floor and finish off with those vinyl cove baseboards...

oh ok, I thought I read each batch covered 100 sq. ft., if it covers 120 sq. ft. than I good to split my garage into two section, great! I understand drying time varies depending on alot of things, basically all I wanted to know is if I can apply 2 coats, flakes and all in the same day...

Ok, so my local tool rental shop rents the edco grinder with vaccum, great! If a batch covers 100 sq. ft. am I pushing it by trying to cover 114 sq. ft. (2 sections of 12'x9.5') ??? Instructions say to apply second coat within 18 hours of first coat... Can I apply the second coat after 4 hours ???

Here are 2 pics showing the slab back in February. If anyone has ideas on what I could do with that styrofoam around the perimeter of the slab, I'm listening! LOL!

Ok! My Epoxy-Coat adventure begins!!! I am the lucky winner of the Epoxy-Coat contest! A full kit is already in its way!!! This will be my 4th floor to cover with Epoxy… first experience with 100% solid epoxy. So prep is everything and I find my slab to be very smooth and I have 3 cracks that...
