I built a new house (approx. 600 sq/ft garage) and 1500 square foot detached garage for boats, snowmobiles, and other lake toys last March. After recently reading reviews, I decided to put RB down on both surfaces. The house garage was sealed so I rented a diamond grinder to grind surface clean. I put down 3 coats of RB, flake, and 2 coats of clear + anti-skid. It turned out awesome. It's a little slick on bare feet so I wish I would have used a little more anti-skid.
The 1500 square foot garage was not sealed so I power washed with simple green and put down 4 coats of RB. I had to do half of the garage at a time as I moved everything from one side of garage to the other. I used an 18" roller for the garage and man I wish I would have used it for the house as well. Went on just as well and only took me 45 minutes from stir to clean up to do 800 square feet. Being this is my detached garage I decided against the flake due to cost. The flake makes the floor look so much better. A couple of observations on the RB only floor:
1. It's like ice when wet on bare feet. I wish I would have used a heavy dose of anti-skid. My daughters fell twice as it was humid and the entire floor was covered in moisture. I have never seen condensation form like this on a floor.
2. The first section of garage I did looks to have a green shade to it compared to the 2nd section. They were done a week apart with different 5 gallon buckets.
3. I need to find a squeegee to clean the floor. Water beads in big puddles and takes a long time to vaporate when it's humid.
Overall I like the product. I wish the pictures turned out better as it looks much better in person. The detached floor has standing puddles of water in the pictures.
PS. I bought all of my materials from Justin and he was very helpful.
I'm trying to add pics but for some reason it says I'm a guest. I will keep trying.
