So one of the bays in my garage has a low spot in it. Concrete floor, not a glass finish, but basically smooth. When I was it out some water will puddle towards one of the corners and I'm looking to get it fixed. I don't think self leveling concrete will work too well as it's probably not that deep of a low spot. I'm looking at self-leveling epoxy, but I'm not sure if that will work. From what I am seeing they are talking about 10-30 mil thickness so I don't know if that will work for my needs. Ultimately when I am done, I'm looking for a flat floor surface so when I was it out it doesn't pool up any more. What are my options.

Jack it out and re-pour. Self-Leveling does not mean its going to level your floor.

Mapei Ultramplan M20. Can be up to 2" thick and is finish surface grade rated. I used about 150ish 50lb bags when I wanted to level out my basement.
Got to work quick with this stuff though

I do agree with mobiledynamics: epoxy is not your best choice as the surface should be flat and even before applying it. You better use some concrete patching trowel applied mortar. Ultraplan is widely used for reparing and leveling. You will need a sealer then (Mapei has many).

Re-pitching a garage to shed water is quite a job. It can be done but the cost and know-how can be daunting depending on the severity.
Perhaps you can share some pics?

Not an option. To do something like that would be overkill. I might be able to take some pics this weekend.

Really, it's more of an inconvenience than anything. Worst case, I'll just get a big squeegee and deal with it. If there was some sort of epoxy I could pour on it in that spot that would be fine, but anything other than that is probably more hassle than it's worth.
