Polyaspartic floor spot repair help needed

[69RT3X9]

I had a Slide-Lok polyaspartic floor installed 2 years ago. I now have 3 spots where the coating has peeled off. How do I spot repair these areas? What specific tools would you recommend? These pics show the worst spots. What caused this to happen in these spots?

Hi
Lots of things can cause this..moisture, poor prep, physical damage, etc. to repair you would need to remove by scraping any loose or damaged coating, sand or lightly grind, clean well, then reapply polyaspartic and flecks, then after cured, remove any excess flecks, sand again to remove high spots, and then 1-2 more coats of polyaspartic.

We carry small polyaspartic repair kits in clear so you wouldn't need to buy large kit and have a lot of waste, and flecks, would need to know colors or mail us an sample to attempt to match the colors.

Lightly tap around the outside of the failed areas. If hollow sounding you need to take them up too.

We have quart units of Nohr-S Polyurea. Can be used to put this back together. No mixing to worry about, single component.

We have found many fly-by night operations installing floors like yours with little to no prep.

Good luck.

Hi Guys, Thanks so much for the replies and advice! You are both flooring experts and I have great respect for your knowledge and skills in all things flooring related. I have read hundreds of your posts over the years. You guys are the best! Thank you, thank you for all you do on this forum!

When my floor was installed, the installer used a big Edco floor grinder with tornado dust collection bucket. What specific tools would you recommend for me to repair these spots myself?

A 4” angle grinder with a diamond cup wheel for the larger areas. I have used an oscillating tool with 50 grit pads for smaller areas.

Wipe the repair area clean with denatured alcohol prior to applying the coating.

Agree, 4 inc cup grinder should be just fine.

I am having a new pool installed with polyaspartic decking. The installers left several “piles” of chips which have now hardened. As to repair would it better to sand from expansion joint to expansion joint and resurface rather than just patch the area. Its fairly large in an area there will be high traffic?? Thanks.

It's hard to say but 'clumping of flecks' probably is best to use a hand sander and sand them down, and if you need to recoat so it doesn't look like a 'patch' always best to do this between natural breaks like joints and edges.

Thank you so much. It’s an expensive product and I don’t want to see chipping etc down the road because of this installation. They came and “patched “ but I am not comfortable with that. I also think, like you, that it should be redone from expansion joint to expansion joint especially since it’s going to be a high traffic spot.

I do have another question. The product that was installed on my deck was a Sherwin Williams polyaspartic quartz. How long before the deck stops shedding quartz particles and since the finish is so rough how do you clean it??

 

[Armorpoxy]

It never should shed quartz, if it is it needs to be swept hard with a stiff bristle broom, vacuumed and then recoated with 1-2 coats of polyaspartic.

Hi again! The polyaspartic pool deck swept up and hosed down HOWEVER now I see splotches that look wet etc. I don’t think it should look like that. A pool deck is wet a lot. Is it supposed to look splotchy with use??
