Any problems with doing half the shop at a time ?

I'm using the rustoleum pro and have begun prepping. My problem is storage of shop equipment over the time periods needed for this project ( just don't have the space and it's not going out front unsupervised ), so I moved all my stuff to the right side and had planned prepping and finishing the left, then once cured I would tape off the left with poly and gorilla tape and work on the right ?

I was going to overlap the center by a few inches or so, anyone see any issues with this ?

Thanks

The problem would be that a box is good for 2 car garage and therefore you would waste 1/2 of the mix.

I don't see any issues with doing it. Measure out what you need and go for it. It's easier if you have a control joint in the middle for an edge, but tape should do. Just make sure you pull it up before it hardens!

I don't see a problem with it. Just make sure when doing the second half that you don't go over the already cured first half. That would probably be noticeable.

Oh and I don't recommend using "Gorilla Tape" Blue 3M masking tape will work just fine. But like BMWPower said make sure you peel up the tape before it dries.
