Do not use caulk or anything flexible to fill in any cracks, holes, or pits before applying epoxy. Anything that is flexible will cause a crack in the epoxy when weight is applied, (when you walk or drive on it.) After repeated traffic, the epoxy will crack and chip away from the flexible...

Zmw- Good question. The answer is that it's optional. You will have a much smoother cleaner looking surface if you fill in the pits with an epoxy patch first, but if you don't, it's not going to cause a peel. The pits are caused by the rocks getting knocked out of the cement. It's a...

I noticed that someone wrote that you do not need to acid wash the floor because of its age. This is incorrect. The age of a floor has no bearing on whether the floor needs to be profiled or not. Epoxy will not stick to a smooth surface, it must have something rough to grip onto. This...

Preparation is everything. Your epoxy or paint should never peel from hot tire pickup, if you prep the floor correctly. The creation of a Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) is probably the most critical aspect of the preparation process. Epoxy will NOT stick to a smooth surface, it must have...

One gallon of floor paint should cover about 400 sq ft as floor paint is pretty thin compared to epoxy. Here is the math on coverage... One gallon of paint (or any liquid) when spread out over a surface at 1 mil in thickness (one mil is a thousandth of an inch) will cover exactly 1,604 sq...

It was applied too thick. Urethanes need to be put on very thin. The thinner the better, otherwise you get that white haze look. Also you should be using a roller with shorter nap hairs. 3/8 is ok for epoxy, but not a urethane, use 1/4 inch soft woven roller (a high dollar one.) Also, make...
