If you are going to use DryLok, I'd just leave it plain. 20% of our business is scraping off and re-doing DIY projects. Typically, its not the DIY'ers, it's the materials. So far, no one has shown me a one-part anything that's effective on floors. I think there is a 1-part polyurea out there...

The ONLY way to prep a floor is with a diamond grinder. Check a rental place near you. Acid is cheaper, but it's a hassle and a half (I have done both). I have an article about this on my site which you can reach through my signature below. (I don't want to post the article because it may be...

Have any of you pros ever wondered why the big paint companies have not tried to harness the pro garage installation market for floor coatings? It seems so obvious to me that with hundreds of millions of dollars (if not billions) going into garages, the big chemical companies and paint...

I'll need to see evidence for these claims...we do repairs on a LOT of these consumer-grade epoxy jobs. Or maybe Rustoleum is saving the good stuff for special jobs.

oh man, more digging on epoxy. We include a UV protectant in our installations. I guess time eventually wins that battle, though.

Don't do gloss!!! You'll see every fault in the taping, drywall seams, and putty gleaming in the bright gloss...Semi gloss will clean up nicely, and look decent.

As a guy who's done more than a few logos, I am impressed...

Well, I install monsterrax in my business, and all my customers are very happy with it. Don't up up anything flimsy or janky--it's just too risky. My opinion as a guy who makes his living selling the stuff is that hyloft is just consumer trash. A monsterrax is almost 100 pounds of steel--it's a...

Very cool, I am going to subscribe to see how this goes. The lift is incredible--the advantage of doing your own garage...

$6 a FOOT!!!! I should be so luck to get 6 a foot.

champagne "looks" more expensive. Sad, but true, I'd probably go for the champagne color.

What is that car in the background, is that an Avanti?????!!!!

Defuzz with a wire brush, works better than tape...

I think the concrete is probably so contaminated with various adhesives that now nothing will stick to it. Have you tried grinding the concrete where you apply the adhesives? I'd try that, if you can do it neatly. You'll remove the contaminants and open up the "clean" concrete under the surface.

In our pro installations, we always put the poly last because it has the hardness and thus the abrasion resistance. We actually do base color coat, then clear epoxy, then clear poly on top--this is the recommended method from the techs at Arizona Polymer, who taught me. As far as re-coat...

It's got to be a mixing problem, it sounds as if the chemical reaction did not take place. And the other guy who wrote is right, even if it does dry, it's not going to ever have any reliable properties such as: adhesion, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, etc. In fact, if it doesn't cure...

I like the back patio...

damn! That's a committment, that project. Looks good.

I vote for screw drive...nice and quiet...

A product for stripping or for recoating?
