I rented an enco floor grinder today. It had the cutting blades on it. I tried it on my bad section of epoxy floor. It was a waste of money. It melted the surface a little so I added water which seemed to help a little. My suggestion is not to go that route. I am curious if the diamond stones...

Has anyone used this stripper before? I also found a new product called ronjohn. I will be stripping 1/2 of my new floor due to hardness issues. Would it be wise to etch the floor again? I hope that at least one thing would go right. What a battle this has been thanks

I am in the process of epoxy coating my 30 X 44 pole barn.The cure time on the pour is close to 2 months. I tried the etch the other night with poor results. I went with the recommended ratio but it feel short on my power troweled floor. At least I only tried it on part of the floor. I found a...

I need suggestions on epoxying around trench drains in my floor. Would it be best to cut around them with a brush? If any material gets over coated I assume you can't just pull off the tape after the floor dries. I also have about 6 1 1/2 " pipes that are floor level coming up vertically. I may...

I just opened a pallet of blue foam board for my radiant heat. I was starting to put it down and I noticed it was 2" score board. (dow). I was hesitant to use it thinking it would snap from walking on it. My first load of foam board turned out to be for the wrong application. I guess I know the...

I am getting ready to put my 2" foam board on the floor of my pole barn. I bought two 10 ft trench drains to install just inside of my 2 overhead doors. I talked to the manufacturer and they do not recommend any foam under their drains. Should I just leave an opening in the foam right under the...

I just finished installing my perimeter insulation. I wasn't crazy about cutting a 45 degree angle on the top of it. I bought some foam board at Lowe's and it had the overlap ends. I put the raised edge against my outer walls. I now have about a 1 inch to deal with. A common trim piece of vinyl...
