ArmorUltra done

[Pwrgeek]

Did my floor this weekend. ArmorUltra light grey three layer system. Have a couple of lessons learned.

1. Prep is more time consuming than application
2. If you're doing it by yourself mix smaller batches.
3. Ask for a slightly different color from coat to coat especially if your lighting isn't complete (like mine). With the same colors it is very difficult to see where you have been on the later coats.
4. If you're doing it at night bugs (at least where I live) are going to be an issue.

Overall I'm very happy with how it came out.

Beautiful job, thank you for your business! And yes, the prep does take a bit of time, but a properly prepped floor will come out much better and last longer. Never shortcut the prep!

Thanks for the great product. One suggestion for improvement would be to supply the three layer kit with slightly different colors per layer. For instance if I had it to do again I would have gone with a white primer, dark grey base coat, and light grey top coat. That way I could see where I had been on the later coats. Just a suggestion overall it is a great product and I'm very happy. Would not hesitate to recommend Armorpoxy and the ArmorUltra product to anyone.

Some details for those interested

Wed 3/16 spent about four hours sweeping and vacuuming. Finished about midnight.
Thurs 3/17 spent about four hours sweeping again and then acid etching using the provided muriatic solution. Finished about 11 pm.
Fri 3/17 I had planned to primer coat but a storm came through and had the humidity up so the floor wasn't dry.
Sat 3/18 started primer coat about 2pm finished about 430pm
Sun 3/19 started base coat about 8am finished about 1115am. Waited 8 hours for it to set up and then did top coat. Started top coat about 10pm and finished just after midnight. Had to get it done because I worked the next day and wouldn't be home before the base coat had set up too much to have the top coat put on it. There were a couple of spots where the base was still soft but I used the spiked shoes and everything seems to have worked out fine.

Overall I have about 16 hours in the floor (1800 sq ft) not bad for doing it by myself.
