I knocked over my weight rack when I was putting it together and it chipped the epoxy floor. I used the Rustoleum Rock Solid (not so solid) flooring. Now there are 2 chips in the floor. Now I’m worried about the chip expanding and cracking further. Is there any way prevent it From doing so? Like...

Thanks all! I ended up going down to tractor supply and buying stall mats. Getting ready to install them all now. Any concern for the black rubber to bleed into the epoxy floor/ concrete? Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I was looking into the stall mats but I was worried about them being solid black and cleaning them. But from previous comments it seems they clean up nice. I was looking on rubberflooringinc.com and found these 4’x16’ rolls. But they are 1/2” thick. They also sell 4’x6’ mats that are 3/4”...

I am redoing my garage and turning it into a gym. I just did the Rustoleum RockSolid Floor coating. Now I am looking for a rubber flooring to lay over about half of it where the squat rack and weights will be. Is 1/2” rubber mats thick enough or would you recommend 3/4”. I read mixed reviews...

Shea - just want to say thank you so much for all for help though this project. You always reply super fast and have great answers to my questions/concerns. I applied the grey RockSolid on Thursday, let it dry and then applied the clear coat today. I’ll post some pics tomorrow. As I stated...

What causes the bubbles in the application? Do you recommend adding the anti skid packet? Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Ok. Thank you for the advice. I appreciate your input! I’ll proceed with the clear coat and maybe just look into some blinds for the window [emoji1360] Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

FYI - I have a window on the exterior door and my garage door also has windows on it Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I already have minor bubbling and streak marks in some areas. After reading reviews many say the clear coat leaves lots of bubbles, although I’m sure that’s all due to the application process. My big question is, is the added protection worth the risk of extra bubbles and yellowing? Sent...

Ok. Do you think it is a must do? Concerned with it yellowing in front of the window. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Yesterday I applied the RockSolid Garage floor to my old garage floor. Overall it went pretty well. Took me 3 kits to to my 2 car garage, which I was anticipating. A few issues: - Slight color variation in some areas, I believe caused by rolling over an area twice. - hard to spread and roll...

Thank you for all the info. I didn’t want to invest a lot on the floor as it won’t be a high traffic area. I’m turning half of it into a gym, that will be covered by floor mats. The other half will be a laundry area, so I’m hoping that will help with the wear and tear in the floor as well...

Is that just like a generic concrete primer? Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Thank you for the tip! I sanded down each patch with a heavy grit paper using my floor polisher. I patched on Saturday, sanded Sunday, Acid etched Monday and plan to coat today. Any idea why the floor got dark in certain spots after I etched it and rinsed it? Sent from my iPhone using Garage...

I used the rustoleum concrete patch kit JT recommends. It looks somewhat odd in the picture but much more uniform in person Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I am getting ready to pour my RockSolid floor tomorrow morning. I did the acid etch 48 hours ago and let the concrete dry. But after 48 hours it still has these dark spots that weren’t there before. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on what these are and how to resolve them?Or am I ok to...

Awesome thank you for the advice. Do you recommend the Rustoleum Rocksoild or the Epoxy Shield?

Hi Everyone. I decided to start prepping my garage today to epoxy the floor. got it all emptied and started scrapping and buffing the areas where the previous owners had painted the floors. I went down and bought the Rust-Oleum Patch Kit. I got about half done and realized that I maybe should...
