Hld: The base was not colored - all clear coatings. We used "oak street beach tan" sand as we are in sandy soil and I thought it would hide a lot of the sand coming in off of the gravel road. http://www.florock.net/pdfs/FloroQuart_RGB.pdf Tim

Legacy - no, I don't want a job - lol. I don't think I'd want the risk. If I were paying $5 sf. for this project, there would have been one 1' x 6' section between "pots" that would have been unacceptable to me. The little divots would have been ok as they repaired well, but not the bigger area...

Hi all: 5 Days and a lot of elbow grease. New garage that is 32 x 50 with a 16 x 28 "man-cave" that has heated floors. Didn't plan on doing anything with the rest of the garage, but then figured, if I don't do anything now, I NEVER will. Ended up drywalling, insulating and running gas and...

We applied the clear with the 2nd quartz broadcast yesterday. Everything looks good with the exception of about three 1" x 4" inch "divots" for lack of a better term. It seems as if some small areas didn't get the epoxy during the roll out phase of putting the clear down. Overall not a big...

Well, we did the 2nd broadcast today and I will have to say it was a lot more work laying the epoxy over the 1st sand coat. Not only do you have a lot less coverage, it is harder to see where you are broadcasting the sand. We did have some ridges and a few clumps to sand after the first coat...

Well, used the floor sander with 20 grit for quite some time yesterday, then acid etched, and neutralized it with ammonia. Worked on it today with 3 of us - thanks for the advice that 2 people would be a bit tough - lol. Got the 33 x 32 section of the garage done with the first broadcast. I...

We ended up going to SW for the primer and paint. Our drywaller ordered through him and the primer was around $11 gallon and the satin paint was $16 gallon and really spread well so far. T

Thanks again all. We are doing a double broadcast application. Garage guy, I think what we like about the quartz, is the "texture" part of it with the clear. We plan on broadcasting fairly heavy and sanding any uneven spots that we may cause. We are going to try to do it with two of us...

Thanks all. T

Thanks Kf, I'll check that out. Any other suggestions would be great as well. T

Hi there: What has everyone found for a reasonable priced garage wall paint that provides easy clean up? As usual, we are way over budget and I'm looking for a good product at a good price. Thanks, Tim

Baz: Yep. We are just down to crunch time and can't afford to waste any weekends doing nothing. If he wasn't able to come early, I would have had to start proceeding with the floor in order to stay on our Oct. 1 move in deadline. The original deadline was Aug 1. and then Sept. 1 - lol. Our...

Sorry I didn't see this section, but I am a homeowner building a mostly log home with conventional trusses and such as we couldn't pass the ResCheck with all 7" wide rectangular logs - lol. They just don't give you the R-value. Anyways, at the last moment I decided to do a really nice garage...

Thanks all. So far so good. The duct tape plastic showed no signs of moisture which I assume is at least a good start. We are going to drywall and paint everything first as the drywaller decided to come two weeks earlier than he said he could (that is a good thing to complain about). I'll post...

Thanks Scotty - I'll hopefully try that out this week. Tim

Scotty: Thanks for the reply. How would one check for hydrostatic pressure, or, what conditions would be likely for hydrostatic pressure to occur. We are building on sandy soil. My wife is pretty set on the quartz since she has seen it at least in the garage. She's pretty particular about...

wow, very nice. 4 hours seems quick too. congrats.

DIY Floroquartz Floor - 2nd Broadcast finished - touch up questions in latest post Hi all: Stumbled across this forum after choosing to put floroquartz (www.florock.net) on our new garage floor. We are also going to use it over our radiant floor in the basement of the house. Has anyone ever...
