Any ways to fix this?

[bigred292]

Here's the scoop- concrete floor about 1.5 y/o, broom finish. Floor was ground with Edco grinder and cleaned thoroughly (dry)
Using a 2 part polyurethane product(Auto-Gard FC) Put down primer then applied basecoat yesterday. Everything went fine but during curing some bubbles appeared. There are quite a few throught the 24x32 floor. Any thought as to what caused them? Did I mix product too fast?
I still have to put topcoat on- probably Thurs nigh or Fri day. Is there a way to get rid of these while applying the topcoat?
I am not going to grind it and start over- that's out of the question. I can live with the bubbles but if there's any easy fix I'll do it.

That actually does not look too bad. I say live with it.

seen much worse....apply another base coat or live with it

Yea, like I said I can live with it.If there's an easy fix I'd definitely try it though.
Anybody else have any ideas?
Don't know if I stated in my original post but I have quite a few of these, not just 1 or 2.

Garageguy- I still have to topcoat it- do you think the topcoat will fix some of these?

Can't you just mix some of the base coat, and drip it into the holes? Like when you fix a paint chip on a car.

Put a sharp stick into the paint. Put said stick into the hole, let paint drip off the stick filling the hole.

I mean how many do you really have. Might be a pain in the *** to fill them all this way. So as garageguy said, put another coat of base down. Might be faster.

I have no more basecoat product- I still have to topcoat the entire floor. There isn't too much room for error with this stuff. After mixing it has a pot life of 15 minutes. My first time doing anything like this but it felt like trying to roll molasses.
I'm hoping that the topcoat might help some of these but am unsure. I don't even know if I rolled it correctly!
There are way too many too fill by hand. I'd love to but the rest of the bucket would harden before I had a dozen holes done.

Depending how the top coat flows, I bet it will correct some of this. Just live with it. It's a garage in the end, not a piece of art. It actually looks pretty good already. I bet you won't even notice after a week.

Top coat will not hide it and if you go too thick with the poly, it may turn brittle or blister on you. It's not meant to go on thick. You could try to top coat it with pigment and extra texture and it may camouflage the imperfections.

Just got done putting on the topcoat- should've stayed in bed today.
With the control cuts I have the floor is divided into 6 squares.
Mixed up the first batch and put it down. Definitely different than the basecoat. Seemed ALOT thicker. Went to backroll and the material starting coming up with the roller. Did the best I could but it's really not pretty.
Mixed the second batch. Put that down. Went a little easier.
My buddies left and I started cleaning up. Took a peek at the floor and discovered that there are 2 different shades of gray! Same product # and same batch #- 2 different shades of gray.
My floor looks like ****. I want to scream.Or cry.
At least with the part that I messed up I could cover with a carpet/mat.
Where the two batches meet looks like total ****.
I'll take some pix in a while.
Sorry, just had to vent

Let it dry for a week then come back and address it. Lots of helpful people here to help.
