Can I "pigment" Poly myself, or it has to be purchased like this ? ...looks like with pigmented Poly all my flakes are going bye-bye ?

Yeah, it seems correct. Where I got Poly and non skid, owner mentioned nothing about mixing while applying, that's where all uneven areas came from, as I see more non skid where I started to roll and almost none at the end. Now, if I put more Poly with more no slip in, how can I make sure it...

Do you think it would be enough to sand problematic areas only or go for the whole floor ? With what grit # sand paper you think it should be done ? About keep coating, not sure it is going to help as these areas have higher density of the non skid, so probably even when completely covered they...

Hello all, Hope someone has an idea how to fix my issue. I was advised by a store owner where purchased polyurethane on specific amount of non slip additive to be mixed into the coating. Turned out, after drying out that amount of additive is too much and it wasn't spread evenly (even though...

Thanks Shea. Looks like worked with filling the cracks. Couple simple questions: 1. Do I need to sand it completely to level with the rest of the floor or some minor deformities of the crack filler is still fine to have as it most likely will be covered by two coats of epoxy I'm...

Just went and got this local ZeraBond Type 4 100% solids two component epoxy adhesive gel. Placed minimum, almost no meat on top of the cracks, just to fill them in. Used metal taping knife (did it have to be plastic knife only?). Manual states: 6-8hrs - Initial cure and Full Cure - 7 days...

Thanks for replies. Just called EpoxyMaster (their kit I'm going to apply) they actually confirmed that if I'll have two epoxy coats, then the first one can serve as a filler, if I won't back roll in the cracks area too much but rather just squeegee epoxy where the cracks are…..hmmm. That's the...

Hello all, Getting ready to put epoxy coatings this weekend. Need advice from you guys on hairline cracks treatment. I have three of them or so, around 1/8"-1/16" wide. Do I have to patch them with a sealer/filler of some sort, or I can just use my first epoxy coat as a filler for these...

Thanks for your very useful tips. Really appreciate it.

I probably going to do it with a grinder diamond blade for cutting concrete (diamond cup in vertical position dances like a mad monkey). Thanks again.The last question would be the edges at the wall: I have one wall where drywall goes right to the floor and then sealed with some sort of...

Thanks again for reply. That is actually exactly the same diamond cup I used to grind garage stem walls and touch up places on the floor which wouldn't be picked up by the big EDCO grinder. Thanks for the tips. Another question if you could assist: do you think it makes sense to paint with epoxy...

Did you end up doing it on inside the door ? I'm now in similar situation and thinking to do it as well on inside of the garage door, however I have seen someone mentioning that it is better to do a 3-5mm cut across the floor at the door level since epoxy will bind to it better, and then fill...

Originally the kit is sold without the clear coat. According to EpoxyMaster their base coat is very glossy and have a great look, clear coat can be purchased separately (some additional $170+ for up to ~500 sq.ft.). Problem is that Costco sells only that kit, and to order online directly from...

Yes, I will be putting flakes some 3 lb. on the ~310 sq. ft. floor…so, we're talking about medium to high broadcast I guess. It is EpoxyMaster kit which is done in a single application, so one coat only. I will however, (possibly) have extra epoxy, as they claim the kit is to cover up to 480 sq...

Thanks for reply. Ideally, I do want it to look as smooth as possible of course after coating, confusing part is - does it mean that the floor after grinding has to be the same smoothness as I expect it to be after coating or some signs of grinding/little dents and so on will be masked...

Hello all, Trying to prepare my garage floor for epoxy coating. Rented EDCO 2-Disk grinder (with new grinding blocks) to remove old paint and get the floor ready for epoxy. One of the big issues I had is a bumpines of the floor so the big grinder wouldn't be able to get off all the paint and I...
