Whatever happened to getting the used golf shoes at GoodWill? you have that much money in screws on that thing...

JD of customgarageworkstx.com in Dallas on this board installs these and knows about them. If you search for him you can send him a message...

A picture of the apparatus, an edco dual-head grinder (being used on my garage, and the results below it): finished here:

We offer 5 or 10 years depending on the price structure. With good prep and quality materials, 10 years is the benchmark... That HD epoxy? 2.5 years at best...

Hey Nathan, good to see you on here. I had a customer call me because of "peeling" of the garage coating about 1 year after installation. I don't know if he was being cute, but when I did the service call, the floor was obviously damaged by one of about 20 automotive products (which were...

Hey, check it out...me and the installer did a monster 1000-plus square foot floor on wednesday--this time I wore a 3m breather--but no goggles. So far, I haven't had any reaction at all--and my exposure was much greater in terms of time "over the bucket" that I have ever had before. So maybe...

The acid will not penetrate areas where paint remains--it will have no effect. Pressure washing is not going to do a very good job of removing that paint, and you'll want to get that paint off of there to reveal fresh, scored concrete underneath. The best approach is physical grinding--if you...

Hmmn...yes, as I suspected. My main installer has more years than me, and he said once this sort of reaction starts, it justs get worse. Any ideas on this: is it fumes contacting my eyes--or is it me inhaling the fumes and it getting in my blood (probably fumes contacting the eyes, but I wondered)

Hey guys. As some of you know from my posts here, I do epoxy flooring. I am pretty much part time at this point, doing floors when I want to. I use (don't want to say brand) solvent-based epoxies in my installations. The stuff is certainly high-quality commercial stuff. Here's the thing: on the...

"Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell...good stuff.

US Rentals usually has the edco grinders. Those work very well, we use it in pro installs...

Dude, love this garage...those red cabinets are the shizzle...

First, thanks to Garage Journal for hooking me up with Wood Magazine for their workshop/garage special. If the stars align, some of my garage work is going to be featured in the upcoming magazine. Here is the picture that the editors selected, one of my garage/epoxy installations and my...

I run a garage makeover business and an SEO business in Austin. No one had ever done an internet directory for garage gear and sites, so I put one together here: The Garage Directory: http://www.garageandstorageplus.com/Directory/ If you are a contractor or supplier, you can post a free...

It looks nice, for sure. The thing about using chips is that the chips "randomize" the appearance of the floor by disquising imperfections. This is a very nice solid color floor.

Wash your face and hands after you finish coating, or just take a shower. I use high-end commercial epoxy and after I use it sometimes I get this really weird irritation and itching on my upper eyelids about 10 hours after--happens like clockwork every time. Definitely try to keep clean, and use...

Actually, I think that floor looks pretty fine. But, the roller marks might be more serious in person. Where did you end up with this? Did you put a coat of clear over it? When and if you use a clear coat, try thinning it a bit with acetone (assuming it's not water-based). You'll get greater...

Pardon me--YES, shotblasting is probably superior to grinding. But a shotblaster is a serious machine. We do pro installs, every one has been with a diamond grinder. Never had a problem, and I don't plan to!

It's easy: 1. Grind off the old coating with a diamond grinder. You'll also prep the floor at the same time. 2. Finish it with high-grade, high-solids epoxy--use the best you can buy. It'll last a decade, at least.

Damn, that's impressive. Kudos.
