Seems that new conCrete would be easier. I know that on my last floor getting the oil up was a big job. I just really want a product that will stop oil stains and still look decent after several years. .....

getting ready to pour 2000 sf slab. I really liked the epoxy floor i had in my other shop but it was easy to chip. I am thinking of polishing the concrete and sealing it. I would like to hear from you guys on some alternatives to epoxy. The shop is generally used for auto restorations and does...

well, its been just over 3 Years and the floor is doing great. the urethane is peeling in a few spots but the epoxy is holding up great. I guess I wont be using the shop much longer as we have sold our house, Im a bit bummed but the good news is ill be building a bigger shop. Im not sure if im...

here it is

I guess actually these would be more accurately called drip legs. my bad

im going to put the regulator and filter as suggested above. I added 1 drop and ball valve. The first drop is going to just drain back to tank. While not a traditionally plummed aftercooler hopefully it will remove a bit of moisture before it heads to shop. If it doesnt work efficiently ill then...

just very small and occasional aerosols. To be honestI think it is just an offshore pump with not real great quality. Im thinking that dropping the temperature and moisture content it will make the job easier for the downline equipment. IE filters and refrigerated dryer. I believe the drier is a...

I thought about putting it in line between pump and tank. Eventually however I'm going to fall heir to my dads compressor (an old world war 2 gas powered compressor) and I was going to put a t in the cooler to eventually add this compressor. I guess that could be a thread in itself. Would...

oops, forgot to draw in the regulator and drains at the bottom of the drops.

I just did a quick sketch of how I intend to set up the cooling and filtering on my compressor. I am using a husky 6 hp 60 gallon compressor, 3/4 in. copper tubing, a coalescing filter followed by a refrigerated dryer. Ive been using the dryer for sometime and i rarely see any water in my air. I...

Floors been down for about 2 1\2 years now and have no lifting problems. I am sorry that I didnt get any pics when it was new. It gets some heavy use and has several chips, scrapes and a few little burn spots from welding. I have a feeling in the next 3 or 4 years Ill be recoating. For now im...

I was fortunate to come across this old howell electric floor scrubber for 10 dollars at a yard sale. Thing makes floor cleaning a breeze scrubber.jpg (

I have had my flooring down for about 8 months. No lifting or peeling I was worried about. I have a few chips here and there but I expected that. Gets some significant use. I love the fact that airhoses stay clean and being able to wipe up oil spills is awesome. Will report back at 1 year......Steve

My top is actually a clear urethane right now. He recommended the polyaspartic with the color pack because he said the urethane with the color pack can occasionally fisheye

I asked him about the urethane with color packets and he said that urethane can tend to fisheye with the color packet. I am going to give it a while, maybe after the holidays before I do it. I want to make sure no other issues arise like lifting. Has anybody had any application or adhesion...

I talked to the manufacturer and he recommended screening and followed with a coat of pigmented polyaspartic. Anybody got any input?....steve

I do have one small problem I would like to eventually correct. During the original application I ruined a gallon kit and had to order one extra. The additional gallon is just enough darker to catch my eye. I do have a urethane clear topcoat. I am thinking of putting a pigmented urethane over...

2 months have passed since I applied the epoxy. Showing no signs of problems. I am very happy with vbp products. I have a few areas where the application could have been a little better but oh well.....Steve

Had some urethane left over. I have one area where the nonslip was not dispersed real even. Can i screen the area and reapply the urethane? I don't want to open a can of worms. I can see it now, the area that a small void if antislipis where ill but my *** lol. Is urethane receptive to having...

Thanx for the reply. I did in fact screen it and it took care of the problem. I used a product called rhino tooth. I don't think it has sharp edges like sand, at least I hope not. While the job is not perfect for a diy job I give it a 7.5 or 8. I thank the guys at versatile building products...
