Legacy HD6600 Gloss Review

[bigboost]

Finished coating my floor with Legacy Industrial HD6600 Gloss and am very satisfied with the outcome.

I was instructed to lay it down thin, but I think in some areas I put it down too thin and you can see the roller marks where as I put it on a bit thicker and it came out nice and smooth.

This was my first time even using a roller (27, just bought my first home 2 months ago) So I've never had to paint anything before and I feel like I did a decent job. I'll probably go over it some more and try to get it more uniform looking, but overall it looks great.

Picture at the bottom is just to show how much the sealer darkens the substrate if anyone was curious.

Used 5 gallons for 950sq feet, 3/8 Nap roller, 2 coats 3 hours apart, dip and roll. This is 48 hours later.

Application was easy, and as stated I'm completely clueless as to whether or not I was doing a good job or applying it properly and it still turned out to my liking.

Would definitely recommend it and will be purchasing more.

Looks very nice. How did you prep the floor before applying the hd6600? Were the fumes bad?

LegacyInternational. Do I remember you saying somewhere that the hd6600 can be tinted gray also?

Fumes were light at best. Had my bay doors closed with just the side door and an exhaust fan going.

1:6 ratio Muratic acid etch as recommended by Scotty, scrubbed with deck brush and a tiny bit of dish soap, pressure washed, then rinsed/squeegeed 3 times. Let dry for 3 days, then push broomed day of application.

Did you add any anti-skid powder in it?

No I did not. I'm in FL so no melting snow, there
definitely won't be any amount of liquid on the ground for very long so I decided against it.

Looks great. Might recommend this go a friend that's a little apprehensive about putting epoxy down. How well does it resist hot tire pick up? How suited is it to use in a garage that really doesn't get much heavy duty work?

According to their page / PDS it will have zero hot tire issues.

I feel my garage will be medium duty at best. I'm sure Scotty will chime in.

This product cannot be tinted. http://legacyindustrial.net/cart/hd6525mma-concrete-sealer-p-299.html can be.
This product gives you a nice sheen, keeps dust down and helps block stains.
It is economical and for the right application it works well.

It is not epoxy, urethane or polyaspartic and should not be used to replace them.

Thanks Scotty for the clarification.

Why would one go this route? I've researched epoxy endlessly and still cant make a decision. I'm very tempted to just seal my floor and be done with it. Can someone explain why people should consider the HD6600? What are the negatives?

Legacy/Scotty - I may call you tomorrow to chat about this and the version of this that can be tinted. What number can I reach you at?

HD6600 is a water based acrylic sealer.
These products are film forming and do not have nearly the strength of an epoxy or urethane. Epoxies/urethane coatings penetrate into the slab and if done right become a part of the concrete. Acrylics are fine products for light activity, dust control and stain blocking for non-solvents.

A step up is the solvent based acrylic (HD6525-MMA) and a much bigger step is the water borne epoxy(Standard Clear Epoxy Sealer). There is a direct connection between what you pay per square foot and performance.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll pm you.

I thought this stuff did not require an acid etch?

This looks really good, I like that you showed your original color concrete to give us an idea of how much it can darken it. I really like the darker look.

I bought my house 6 months ago and want to do this to both of my garages. I just need to find time.

If you have power-troweled concrete it requires a light etch or sanding.
Like all floor coatings it does need to bite the surface.

Shoot I wanted to avoid the acid etch.

Please tell me more about the etching process.

How big is the risk if this is not done?

Thanks

 

[LegacyIndustrial]

There could be delamination issues if not prepared correctly.
The floor can be sanded in lieu of etching.

You look like a Pro to me.

Hello GJ,

Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but I would not recommend this product for garages up north with snow. I put it on brand new concrete after waiting about a month and after one winter a lot of it has peeled up and also stained from hot tires.

I followed the directions completely, I just think that salt and snow is not a good match for this product. I really like the way it looked after finishing.

Does this last as long as an epoxy product? I am in the California and should have no issues with cold/salt

 

[LegacyIndustrial]

Mike: sounds like the sealer did not cross link. This is possible if applied too thick. Pm me, we will try to help you out.

Polara: epoxy is much more resilient.

Old thread, but how does HD6600 compare to HD40?

 

[LegacyIndustrial]

It produces a nice gloss sheen and is more substantial than HD40 but requires prep vs. no prep with HD40.

Here are some pics...

What prep is required with HD6600? Etching or more substantial prep? Does it still need to be burnished for the shine?

Acid etching is required for a smooth surface. Nothing more than that. No burnishing is required since it's a topical coating. I believe you have your choice of matte, satin, and gloss finishes.
