I am not a machinist or mechanical engineer. I am an Electrical Engineer in need of some help identifying some mechanical parts so I can go source raw materials to repair a piece of equipment in our shop. The manufacturer tells us the machine is now a legacy product, in other words we will...

Well I was one of the lucky free install "winners". The odyssey began back in December when I was selected as one of the lucky 10. Our floor was a trainwreck, we had no choice but to repair it and soon. Our slab is the ceiling for our downstairs garage, so simply removing and re-pouring was...

So I am down to the end of my floor prep and repair. We have skim coated about 180 square ft of floor with a polymer modified patching cement from a local coatings supply company. That worked alright, took a fair amount of practice to make it work out well, the areas that didn't got a full...

I started reading this looking for info on an epoxy floor. I had researched a number of options before deciding on what to do. I thought, simply clean, etch and roll out a finish. I started emptying and de-junking the space and found more work needed to be done. The garage I am working on is...

I have a problem, potentially a big one. I knew we had a hollow area bulging up in the middle of our garage floor, so I got to looking into it tonight. The garage floor is the ceiling of the garage below, a slab approx 5 1/2' thick there has been a crack for years, it was cracked and spalling...

Over the past couple of months I have been on a quest to make the garage space a place of refuge and a haven in which to work. In other words a "man cave". All this is with the blessing of my wife I might add. I have 2 24x24 attached garages, one upstairs and the other underneath it...

Does anyone here have any experience with the RockSolid polyurea floor coating system? From what I have read it looks like a better coating than epoxy, any feedback would be appreciated.
