If this is what you are referring to, I am not sure you are truly saving any money? He states on his website that it is from a manufacturer's overruns and off-color batches. I know I don't want something that would be considered a "second" on my floor.
For almost the same cost, you have 2 options (that I am aware of) that have had good reviews on this site and others:
1. Rustoleum Professional Epoxyshield (solvent based - it's $89 at my local Anderson's general store)
2. Supercoat (water based but can be bought on Samsclub.com for $69 per kit as compared to $118 on their own website for same kit)
I have now spent at least a solid week researching all of the various products in this price range ($100 or so per "kit"). I am most likely going to go with Supercoat myself. If you read up on them, they are a division of CASS holdings and it's an interesting read (they are very well diversified). I spoke with one of their customer service reps just yesterday and was satisfied with the answers I was given and his attitude.

Congrats on your research, but you should read his info more carefully. From his MSDS info, the product he sells is liquid tile. There is no solvent involved which means no reduction when it dries. I am not affiliated with him, but I am going to buy his product, just for the simple fact that after three coats I will have a 14-18 mil product. I'll take 3/4's of an inch any day over what you will get with any other kit.
04Navi,
Please post a new thread with your results and photos after you have installed his product. I am man enough to change my opinion if someone shows me a better way of accomplishing a task.
I'm anxious to see your experience with the product documented here.
I'm at least a couple of weeks of prep time away from being able to put down a floor (whatever it ends up being).

14-18 mil is not 3/4 of an inch it is .014-.018 of an inch, quite a bit of difference 1 mil = .001 inch (one thousandth)
Well to clarify, I said mil which I meant to be short for millimeter, you know the METRIC system. I should have said mm I guess. So there is 25.4 mm per inch so 18mm is about 3/4 of a inch.14-18 mil is not 3/4 of an inch it is .014-.018 of an inch, quite a bit of difference 1 mil = .001 inch (one thousandth)

Budget Bob is talking mils, not millimeters. When he states good coverage is 8 to 16 mils, he is referring to thousandths of an inch.
