    Size matters...

    Help - Looking For A Tool

    DCS, Do you have any feedback from users?... I'm looking at one of these for a very specific job, thinset removal. I have and Edco 10" grinder and my 5" Bosch is quicker and more effective on the thinset. So instead of grinding 800-1000 sqft every couple weeks on my hands and knees I was...

    Cause for this peel off epoxy-coat?

    Im taking a look at your pictures and I notice a couple of things... 1st - The small bubbles all over the floor. Those look to be outgassing bubbles. When im installing a epoxy floor its always cheap insurance to use a good primer that penetrates deep into the open pores of the concrete. This...

    Epoxy floor Prep... Soft concrete?

    I'm going to agree with the other posts above and conclude that the concrete mix was to wet. It looks like your options are limited. -Your best course of action find the contractor who did the work and have them address the issue. (This is the least likely to happen) -Your next option is to...

    Hard to decide!

    I also use an epoxy prime & base coat with the polyaspartic clear...From my personal experience its a major step above the traditional urethanes. It offers faster cure times which help the installer, but this also helps the home owner by returning the garage to duty sooner. Also the...

    Want to Epoxy, have some questions

    it depends on how heavy you want to flake...If you flake light to medium the clear coat will gloss right over the flakes and be virtually smooth. If you flake heavy or full broadcast the flakes will offer lots of texture...I hope that helps

    How come I'm always last?

    That TG-10 did my 440sqft garage in 1.5 hours. That was with plenty of breaks. It could easily handle 500sqft an hour. Its a monster though, it clears about 1/16-1/8 inch of concrete per pass. If you don't keep it moving it'll destroy a floor...Keep in mind most of the concrete here ranges from...

    I used products from (Versatile Building Products) and (Color Chips)...VBP is company that I stumbled upon. I like their epoxy systems because of the application speed. The epoxy, the patch, and polyurea all came from them. The chips came from Color Chips. I appreciate the compliments.

    Epoxy garage floor is complete - results inside

    I get questions all the time like: "Why do you charge so much to do floors" or "Your prices are really expensive, that only costs $100 at Home Depot" Your write up explains the costs installers have. If I could get my epoxy for $20 a gallon I'd get a lot more jobs, but material costs are high...
