    CoverShield U140 semi Gloss

    Figured I’d post an update. I am REALLY happy with this sealer. As reported by others, I’ve had a few drops of gas, oil from the dirt bikes get on the floor and it just wipes right off. Had some drops of white trim paint get on the floor while painting the baseboards and it too wiped right up...

    Sika self leveling sealer - color alternatives?

    Thanks, didn’t even know that was an option! I sealed the gaps where the floor slab meets basement walls tonight with clear Silicone 2. I’m about half tempted to fill the saw cuts with it. Gonna give it a few days to cure and see how it looks before making decision tho. Once you fill the saw...

    Sika self leveling sealer - color alternatives?

    Love the Sika self leveling sealant, but the light grey isn’t gonna look good for the saw cuts in my garage floor (sealed concrete). Is there any alternative that is more of a medium / darker grey?

    Several Husky garage cabinets and workbenches on sale. I ordered two of the 72"x36"x18" Steel Tall Garage Cabinets yesterday. I know they're not "top tier", but I needed glossy black and couldn't pass it up for $269...

    Fire Extinguisher Info

    Glad I ran across this thread. Last week while in my shop making plates for leveling feet to go on a couple HF tool chests, a spark from the welder ignited a 20gal plastic tub with about 3” of used motor oil in it. (I’d sprayed them with brake cleaner over the tub about 30min before)...

    HF Tool Chest and butcher block workbench (another one)

    HF Tool Chest and butcher block workbench - now for tung oil Was inspired by this thread and have been wanting to do this for a long time. Recent 15% OFF coupon pushed me over the edge and I got two of the 44" x 22" chests. Plan to cover them with a 10' x 25" butcher block counter top. This...

    CoverShield U140 semi Gloss

    Got up and put a second really thin coat on Friday morning before work. Thinking more about it later in the day, I think I'd put it on too thin. I was more mopping it on rather than just using the mop to just spread it, if that makes sense. It wasn't anywhere near 800sf/gal rate, so really I...

    CoverShield U140 semi Gloss

    Glad you posted, reminded me that someone else had mentioned a primer coat and I'd thought about doing that. I mixed up a little at 1:1 with water and did a primer coat. Got done at 6pm EST and just checked it and it's still got a little tack to it on the last square I did. If it dries enough...

    CoverShield U140 semi Gloss

    My U140 came today. I've got a new microfiber flat mop and extra head. I'm gonna try to get the first coat on tomorrow evening g and the second coat on the next evening. When you guys mentioned it worked better wet, how did you wet the mop (spray it, dip in bucket, etc?), and how wet did you...

    CoverShield U140 semi Gloss

    Jumping on the bandwagon here. New home construction, machined troweled garage slab (24x25) is about a year old, never really been used / had a vehicle on it. Been working on it the last few days. Swept, mopped, shop-vac'd the saw cuts out. Rented a buffer machine yesterday. Today me and one of...

    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    Yeah, I’m not for sure yet which way I’ll go, but it’s likely going to involve drywall mud and paint to end up with a clean look.

    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    I talked to him about it today. He's told me numerous times in the past that my county's inspector is beyond ridiculous to deal with. He said worst case, for the inspection we can just mount a cheapo standard light fixture in each space and put plastic covers over all the other light boxes. Then...

    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    Guys, I ordered nearly 40 of the Maxlite housings for my new construction garage and basement. Electrician is coming this week to do the final electrical work for the house, which includes mounting these fixtures. All locations have 4” round boxes in the drywalled ceiling and I just realized...

    Setting a steel post for sat dish

    Thanks for all the input guys, figured I'd update to tie this off. I capped both ends of the 6' tube and welded a 6" long stick of 1/2" rebar on two sides, then painted it flat black. Got the trench dug. Dug the hole as small as I could with the mini-ex. Hole ended up being about 2' wide X...

    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    So I waited on Black Friday and it didn't pan out. 1000 bulbs had 15% off TCP products, but wanted $133 shipping for 85 tubes :lol_hitti I ordered 85 of these tubes from GreenLightDepot SKU:101-100082 (Milky 5000K) Qualification: UL, DLC Listed Power: 18W Color:5000K CRI: > 80 Power Factor: ≥...

    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    Yeah, all I've seen so far was a text today from 1000bulbs that if you spend $400, you get a $50 rebate credit card. On a separate note..........looking more at the single end tubes, I see them shown to have one pin "L" and the other "N". Is there a "standard" that all single end tubes are...

    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    Does anyone know if the light suppliers in this thread do Black Friday deals? I need to place order for fixtures & tubes, have signed up to a few of their email lists but not gotten anything from them. Just wondering if I’ve been waiting around for something that don’t happen.
