I replaced the garage door seals, adjusted the openers, and lubed. Already getting ready for winter.

The end result was exactly what I wanted, even if it took an extra 4 weeks and cost more money because of my mistake. Thanks to everyone here who provided advice on doing the repair and application process! Final thoughts: • The Daich coatings are very reasonably priced for a 100% solids. The...

After about 24 hours, I applied the HPU 747 with Shark Grip even though there was potential for rain again (which of course it did while I was ¾ of the way through the application). At this point I didn’t care if it resulted in a cloudy appearance as long as it cured hard. The good news was...

After scraping, I rented a floor scrubber from Menards and bought a box of 100 grit sanding discs from Amazon. The cured epoxy was tough as nails. Even after sanding for over 3 hours it really held its shine. But after 2 full solvent wipes with a microfiber mop and denatured alcohol it was...

In the mean time I spent the next couple of weeks, scraping, scraping, scraping, scraping. Every time I thought I got all the spots I would find another. The uncured areas were typically the consistency of chewing gum, which made it even harder to remove, even with a couple of scrapers as they...

After drying for about 6 hours I was ready to apply my epoxy coat. I had 4 cans of the Daich product which “should” cover up to 1,000 square feet. Given that I only had just under 700 sq ft, I felt confident in my plan to apply the epoxy to the stem walls first. First I mixed all 4 cans of...

The primer was tinted a very light gray so it was very easy to see. I only primed the floor and left the stem walls bare since I didn’t know how far the product would have gone. Good thing too, because I ended up using all of it. The primer showed the scarring I left when I grinded and the...

My first job was to repair the one medium size crack (about 1/16” wide and 2 feet long), and the few hairline cracks around the perimeter. I used the Rustoleum repair kit to fill those and it was very easy for the minor amount of work I had to do. There are only a couple rental places in my...

I hope this helps someone else who is researching flooring options and can learn from my mistakes when applying epoxy: I'll post these in sections to make it easier to read. I purchased my home with a 680 sq ft garage a few months ago and one of the first things I did was buy epoxy from Daich...

Is that a German car dealership or Bavarian disco? Just kiddin...we're jealous!

I moved to a smaller yard this year and switched from a riding mower to an EGO 56volt electric mower and love it. Plenty of power and folds up nicely to give me more room in my garage.

Finally started moving all my **** back in after epoxying the floor. I didn't realize how much I liked having a minimalist garage!

Ditto here. maple is expensive but you can get oak or birch cheaper new. Check Menards, Lumbar Liquidators, or a Floor N Decor. Floor n decor is actually the cheapest

Yep, I'm looking for 8 ft by 2 ft. and have been watching CL, but it has to be at the right price and right travel distance. Menards has a Birch one for $179, and Floor N Decor has Oak for $169 but I'd have to drive a couple hours.

It's applied very similar to epoxy. I pressure washed the patio to clean off the loose dirt, then used their etching solution and a scrub brush. Applied the coating as directed with their recommended rollers, and used 2 coats of their clear. Process was very easy, biggest issue was keeping...

Yes...most of the floor turned out fine, I only had some soft spots from bad mixing. Advice was to scrape soft spots, xylol the spots, sand entire floor, vacuum, solvent wipe, and lay a new coat.

Ok, so after my last application failure I'm a little gun shy before trying again. I'm working with a 100% solids, no VOC, epoxy. Floor was previously primed, and epoxied, but had to scrape, sand, and solvent wipe to prep for the new coat after a mixing mess. The forecast is currently calling...

I've been looking for a used butcher block like yours...they're hard to come across....nice job on the restoration!

Just curious, how many tiles are in a box?

I use Wyze cameras inside my house. They work pretty good and will even notify you if your smoke detector goes off...don;t ask me how I found out about that :) In my garage I have a Momentum Niro. It works as both a security camera and can control your garage door in case you leave if open...
