I finished putting down my tile!

I am going to put a clear epoxy on when the time is right.

What exactly do you mean by time is right?

I am going to have to wait about a week to let my back and knees rest. This was a pretty tough job for me to do, my wife really helped a lot.

That's probably a good amount of time as the glue will need to fully cure. You should check the product info just to make sure. I will likely go with VCT in my garage when it's done but I'm not certain yet about the clear top coating.

Nice job on your floor.

What brand of VCT did you use. The garage looks very good. I can relate to the knee issues.

That's a hard question to answer. After getting all the junk out of the garage I would say I spent about five hours scrubbing it and pressure washing it. We took two days to install the tile, the first day we put down 100 tiles. That took about two hours. A few days later we did the rest, we started at noon and got done about midnight. But we took several breaks during that time.

I hope that helps.

Nice! I can't wait to do mine.

How far away from the lake are you? I lived in Norcross for 10 years before moving to Houston.

Nice work!

Looks great! I just use a mop on sealer on mine; the clear epoxy is a great way to
keep the maintenance down. I may do that some day but for now the sealer is good.

 

[Ripped]

Looks really nice!

I just finished my VCT floor recently. I think I am going to do the (non-slip) clear epoxy seal also.
I will wait until the floor is fairly established, and the weather is nice and dry. Probably next late spring early summer.

I like the colours in your floor. I could have got some of those (blue, red, yellow tiles) at a discount at the lumberyard, however wife nixed the idea, in favour of black and white

I live just south of *******, pretty close to the lake, maybe 6 miles.
