Just went through a garage remodel and the primary reason was to get my 14 year old garage floor epoxied. Did a lot of research locally and decided to go with IronDrive. They have years of experience, use Sherwin Williams products, and have great communications and references.

I also used the Legacy Industrial 821 gel crack filler prior to the floor coating. I ordered a 2 gallon kit and barely had enough to fill the floor cracks. Some areas were low and show in the pics. A few spot never did fully harden before the epoxy was applied either. (some pics is slideshow) I chalk that up my mixing.

Anyway, here is a slideshow of the garage remodel that I did which includes several pictures of the floor prep, etc.

From one Vette guy to another, excellent prep and execution!!


:thumbup:

Another quart or two of the 821 and I would have been able to fully cover the deep cracks in my floor. There are a few low spots due to trying to stretch the material.

I tried to order some extra from you but I we couldn't make it happen due to my late phone call and Holiday.

Thanks for your help anyway Scott. :thumbup:

Beautiful! It looks like it isn't quite fully organized yet, but you did fine work!

Looks like your Corvette is like my Sky, and curb feeler built in, though you know exactly where to stop!

Jim :cool:

Since I have such a tight space for the vette, I mounted motion sensitive lasers on the garage door opener. When I drive in, they are set up to hit a spot on my dash for proper alignment.

Mr A,
I'm unable to open your photos on my mac. Can you email them to me? [email protected]

We had a blast working at your house. You are one of the coolest dudes we've had the pleasure of working for. It was also cool to meet Barry, from my hometown who has 5 Stanley Cup rings!

Cheers!

Something is wrong in Imageshack, I can't view the slideshow either. I'll send you pics of the whole floor install only if you like?

Thanks, it was a pleasure meeting you and Dave and watching you guys work at your craft. Lot's of dust!

I tried one of the rings on;

It's a product called 'Unistrut". Used in commercial construction for years. There are other names for it as well. This is the thicker gauge, commercial grade unistrut since I will be stacking steel remnants on 4 of th 6 verticals.

You can find it at commercial electric distributors, Home Depot has a version of it but the gauge thickness is lighter. Probably work fine for most home applications though. There are tons of fittings, brackets, etc .that can be used to fabricate other things out of the strut.
