I agree with everything you said. I feel that many posts about "only use the concrete grinder" are complete B.S. (unless you live on an oil-rig). I washed a few times with locally purchased muriatic acid (applied using a "low-cost, [disposable] Harbor Freight lawn sprayer) & a hard bristle...

X2!!! I almost passed out from the noxious odors of the "primer". Surprisingly, my color coat was NOT nearly as noxious as the primer, and wasn't even the low VOC. Hmmmmm.

I fully believe unless your concrete is completely filth/oily/nasty, grinding is a complete and utter waste of time - and, expense!! I acid etched (and rinsed) mine with bonafide muriatic acid - twice. Then I applied the ArmorPoxy "primer" (holy hell does it stink too!!) and then applied...

Follow all this, and you'll have the equivalent of a DEF-CON 3 bunker. A little over-kill Ranger. I had open-cell spray foam done on the underside of my garage roof. Each inch of this stuff is is about R7-R9, and the thinnest area is 10". Do the math. Keeps it warm in the winter - cool in...

Indeed! The primer odor is so caustic you'll die....same with the clear coat. Ironically, the color coat has virtually NO odor.

Call me a pragmatist, but having used and completed my floor with ArmorPoxy, I think a lot of suggestions by MFG's and others are simply CYA for legal reasons. All the obsession about "grinding" is borderline comical and mostly completely unnecessary!! Do a few washes with Muriatic...

Simple green rocks!!

Greetings Fellas! I put down my color coat (looks like "Ford" blue). this afternoon. With the help of my adult son, we coated the small side of my 3 car garage. Goes on nice and thick- levels nicely. My question is the curing time; with as thick as it goes on, I have to believe it's gonna take...

And..I was also told by your staff, that use of the primer, also substantially mitigates many of the issues brought up in this thread.

Getting closer to doing mine. Just did the 3rd round of muriatic acid ( for my application,application, I thinking grinding would have been I messy, time consuming over-kill. Plus, I'm using their primer to mitigate problems. Just have to fix some hairline cracks & it's ready for primer!

Well.... with it all said and done, I tracked down the problem....a shorted receptacle on the "gas light pole". Eliminated that circuit, all appears OK.

How? I'm talking an inch or two, not the tectonic shifting of the north American plate.

Well, I thought it was fixed...then after 3 hours, the breaker tripped again. Guess I will need to isolate the circuits in the junction box, and narrow down where the short is...

....in Michigan, UNLESS the structure is 500' from the dwelling... (..or you're willing to provide the work-order employee a $500 XMas present ....as he was hinting at)

BTW, how deep? Logic would tell me that it doesn't have to be below a "frost-line" because it's not a foundation; that may have to contend with "heaving" - but.......I'm imagining there is another asinine code dealing with this too (?):shocking: :3gears:

Who sits around and makes up these asinine "codes"? I mean really..some of them make sense, but others....? I can see a bunch of bureaucrats (Definition: an official who works by fixed routine without exercising intelligent judgment. ) sitting around a table thinking of ways to make simple...

Yep, meant ethernet..my bad. All good then....I'm well within 328'

Yes, agreed. Is there any loss of wi-fi signal at a certain length of pull?

Damn it! I thought that was going to be the case! Damn it. The real ****** thing is that my damn Cable company AND the electric company could theoretically give me a drop from the pole that is only 8' from my garage - but of COURSE they won't.. Stupid on their part, because it would be a...

Hell ya! I agree. Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill. I've had to "extend" wire a few times in my life and never had an issue soldering on an extra length of wire. However, I never knew these connectors existed. Thanks for sharing.. Oh, and so far so good! The circuit has been...
