Fred, If you can't find anyone in LaLa land, and would consider making the trek down the road to San Diego, I might be interested. If San Diego is too far, maybe I could ship the garage floor up to LA? :bounce: Mordi

I am getting ready to have drywall put on the ceiling and walls. The current plan is to use a semi-gloss paint over the drywall. Any suggestions as to what type of finish I should use for the drywall - Smooth, orange peel ? Thanks, Mordi

Well, I guess I am in the other camp :eyecrazy: I am in the process of getting my garage ready to accomodate a 4 post lift and I am planning on installing the lift before I do the epoxy floor. After assembly, I was thinking I could put some towels or padding under the columns, determine the...

I would contact Jeff Kritzer - VP of Sales and Marketing at Bendpak and let him know about the problems you encountered with the lift. He seems like a good guy and would be more than interested in any issues with his products. Mordi

For my 2 car garage, I purchased 2 sets (4 speakers) of Phoenix Gold ATC-6 6 1/2" 200 watt in ceiling speakers. I have not yet installed them, but they are highly recommended. I purchased them from buy.com. They cost $132.00 for the 2 sets of speakers. Mordi

"Microfiber towels and tools have particular care requirements due to their unusual cleaning properties and composition. As you probably know, microfiber is excellent for dusting and scrubbing because of the static-charged, woven fibers. The combination of polyamide and polyester is incredibly...

Has anyone mounted a 110V air compressor to the lift post of a BendPak HD-9 4 post lift? I was told that all I really need to activate the air lock cylinders on the lift is a small tank :headscrat. If that is the case, I don't see why mounting a Pep Boys cheapo tank to the post would not work...

As part of the planning for the installation of a 4 post lift in my garage, I was considering the merits of installing an emergency shut-off switch. Since my ceiling height limited, my thought was what would happen if I was raising the vehicle on the lift, the lift switch failed , and I was...

Hung, Regarding the anti slip, I was advised against it, as it was explained to me that it tends to trap dirt. Mordi

Hung, The use of M35 in lieu of M41 as the primer may be location related as I am in Southern Califiornia. I am guessing the M41 may not be available out here (VOC compliance issue) :headscrat Mordi

All, thanks for the replys guys:thumbup: Charles "I don't think I'd try to split the output of a trickle charger to two different batteries in two different vehicles. Modern trickle chargers switch on and off, or "float" with the battery and the charger would get confused by two different...

As part of my garage makeover, I am planning on a 4 post lift. I want to attach a trickle charger(s) on the lift post(s). I am thinking about a trickle charger to each vehicle The bottom vehicle has the battery under the hood, on the passenger side. The top vehicle has the battery located...

I recently was provided the following recommendations for Benjamin floor products for my garage floor application: 1) Clean with Oil and Grease Emulsifier M83 2) Etch with Concrete Pretreatment and Etch M85 3) Prime with Epoxy Penetrating Bonding Sealer Finish M35 4) Coat with 100% Solids...

Eric, The MEK seems to remove the previous solvent based sealer (and the rust that the sealer had embedded). The surface that remains is the bare concrete - the MEK seems to evaporate from the surface. Thanks Mordi BTW, Sent you a PM

Thanks for the info Eric The product is lifting off in several spots - flaking/peeling. I also have a rust stain on the driveway. Thankfully, I believe the area of the rust stain still has some sealer remaining. I rubbed some MEK solvent on the area and got the rust out - it also removed the...

Ovilla, Nice job on the lift and a good write up! I am planning on a HD-9 ST (standard size) in the near future. I thought I saw in the manual that all I needed was a 25 amp circuit vs the 30 amp circuit you indicated for the HD-9B? Do you know if the electrical requirements are different for...

I have over 2,500 sq ft of stamped/colored concrete at my residence. The sealer I used (Behr Wet Look) has failed in less than a year (after applying 3 coats :wtf:.) I need to remove the sealer and reseal with something that has some "legs" to it. What is the best way to remove the existing...

To all, thanks for the ideas/suggestions. The air tool needs are impact wrench, ratchet, air hammer and perhaps a cutoff tool. Maybe a chisel too. I guess some of these may be air hogs? Yes, I am planning on a Bend Pak HD-9 series lift, but my understanding is that the air requirements are...

As part of my garage makeover, my guy says I should plan on installing a compressor. Since this is not going to be a working shop, the only use for the compressor will be for operating the safety locks on the 4 post lift and operating some basic power tools. I would like the compressor to stand...

Thanks to all who haven taken time to provide comments - I really appreciate the help :thumbup: Regarding doing both the acid etching and diamond grinding, the installer stated that although it may be overkill, he has been doing it this way for sometime and has never had a floor fail. My guess...
