Just finished laying my Wolverine floor and it is beautiful (I'll post a whole thread ont he process once I get all the pictures collected).

However, I used a double-layer of duct tape to edge the seam under the garage door. I removed this tape when the EnduraShield was still tacky and it has left a ridge between the epoxy and the uncoated area. I am a little concerned that this will be:

1) Susceptible to catching and tearing or degrading (lip is big enough to feet with your feet or to have cloth or other potentially "catch".
2) Susceptible to water or other liquid/dirt resting against the lip and causing degradation

I am out of material, so I can't just go back with a little BondTite or EnduraShield and give it a little edged coating to "ramp" the edge down.



So, what is the best method to address this (and if you agree that it is required or can't hurt)? Should I order a little more material and dress the seam with a coat or 2 of BondTite?

Not a fan of those rubber glue-down strips if I can avoid it. The lip is only on the order of 1/32nd or 1/16th of an inch thick...

Someone on this forum put down aluminum flat stock... maybe 1/8" thick x 2" wide. IIRC, he epoxied the strips to the floor over the edge of the floor coating. The pics looked nice. Strips of stainless steel would look nice, too.

I sometimes tape off the EnduraShield about a 1/4" to the 'outside' of the LiquiTile so that it can cover up that edge. I know you don't have any more material to do that. Maybe Wolverine will sell a small touch up kit of urethane that you could use?

This seems the most "acceptable" to me... might have to ping Fred on that.
