New garage rough perimeter

[flynavy812]

Hello all and merry Christmas. Long story short, I’ll only be here 3 years and don’t want to deal with diamond grinding. Floor perimeter is definitely rougher than center areas. Can I acid it twice and go for it? Or will rough spots show bare concrete? Using garagearmor epoxy kit.

Acid will definitely not smooth that out.

Self leveling repair first. Not much else will fill that.

Grinding would be the proper method of surface prep here. Epoxy will not level that out and it will prob look like *** if you don't grind it.

Decided to hire a local company for full broadcast and proper prep.

If anyone wants a good deal on a armorgarage 2 car kit, PM me. I’ll ship too.

Are they doing a grind down or build up and scuff for adhesion approach?

He said he would smooth out the pitted areas and then diamond grind. I’m a little shocked at price, but they have a very established background.

Would you mind reporting back here with what product they use to smooth the pitted areas before diamond grinding?

I don’t think they ended up doing any repairs. Job is done though. Overall I’m 90% happy, there’s a few wonky spots, but given the condition of my new build crappy pour floor I’m happy. With a military discount it cost me 1800.00 total for a full broadcast 400 square foot job. When looking at DIY kits, full broadcast got expensive real quick. Plus I was dreading grinding myself so this was worth it to me.
