I just did my 20x25 in epoxy-coat. Christine (rugerlady) helped me out a great deal, I order thru Lowe's special order and picked it up in store in about a week. I bought 1 Full Kit and a touch up kit and it was under $250. I think you should easily be able to do 32x32 for about $400 with epoxy-coat........

Just my $.02.

Ruger Lady two quick questions? I like all of the positive feedback your system has gotten on this forum and after reading the above I spent the evening studding your website and was very impressed. I especially like the special showing on your FB page. But in the comparison section of your website it says your daily price is $284.99 compared to UCoatit at $484.90. Am I reading this wrong or are you comparing your kit price that does not include clear coat with theirs that does include clear coat? And lastly am I assuming correctly that your FB special is the kit with out the clear?

Our standard kit does not include the clearcoat. The competitor does, it is part of their system that is required.
The FB special does not include the clear.

Does anyone think it will be a problem to put the epoxy coat down at a temp of 82 and 80% humidity?

Temp should be fine, probably the best, not too hot, not too cold. Epoxy goes off in the mixing tin a bit sooner in hotter temps, but it takes forever to cure on the floor if the temp is too low and your floor will be nowhere near 80 degrees.

I just did my new garage with Qwikcrete clear epoxy and absolutely ruined my floor. I will make a thread and post pics later. All I can say is stay far away from qwikcrete. I called them and the tech rep was an absolute *** on the phone and basically said too bad and hung up on me!

Thanks, but I unfortunately I am done with Epoxy floors. I have heard horror stories and now I know why. I will just have to learn to live with the floor the way it is.
I did check out your site and it looks real nice.

Does this mean its cheaper at lowes than buying direct from epoxy coat? Rugarlady i was on your website and it is 284 per full kit without clear. Will you meet the price at lowes if i order from you, since you are going to fill it anyway. The gentleman above seemed to get a full kit and a touch up kit (not sure what that is) for $250.

I have 960sq feet and want something that looks nice and is glossy with flake. Does this mean i need clear also, on top of the two full kits? Where can i get more info on install, the garage floor is almost new, poured 8months ago. I have some flaking near the door where it was power trowled, it looks like it was drying and they scalped it. It like 1/8" thick flakes about 6" diamter that are flaking.
