Day 1 of putting down Legacy Nohr-S pigmented polyurea. Im an amatuer and I am sure I short cutted a few things and maybe my end product will suffer as a result...or maybe not.
Rented a grinder first thing this morning and worked on the floor from 8 until about 2. Did the best I could, but the grinder wasnt the best, wasnt that heavy, etc... Im satisfied with the job, although a pro would probably not be. I dont feel like if I spent another 8 hours it would have gotten much if any better. My floor is not REALLY flat so the grinder took the high spots down(I worked those a lot until the grinder ran smooth over them) and the rest of the floor had some "tooth" to it for the coatings to grab onto...
Then we swept and vacuumed the floor really well. Then went over it 3 times with denatured alcohol... I could still see some dust residue on it after the 3rd wipe down, but we said screw it at that point as we were out of alcohol and microfiber pads and I didnt want to go back to Home Depot...
Got down to business with the Nohr-S primer coat. Mixed up all 3 gallons in my kit with the 3 containers of activator. My wife started using the small roller to cut in the edges... She did ok, but started out kind of slow and sloppy(dont mind the trim). I think she has the hang of it now... Got like 95% of the way done and the primer was starting to set since it was starting to lift off the floor onto the roller(just as the instructions say it will)... I messed with that little section once and made it worse so I stopped. I hope the next coat will hide that... It was like 90 or so in the garage so I knew working time was going to be shorter than the 40-45 minutes Legacy states... But so far so good. We will be doing the next 2 coats tomorrow.
