Rust Bullet Duragrade vs Rust Bullet Concrete - differences???

[b-boy]

What is the difference between Rust Bullet Concrete vs Rust Bullet Duragrade? I searched, but I didn't see anything that addressed this.

I see both for sale. The Duragrade product appears to be about 50% more expensive.

What makes the Duragrade worth the extra money?

Can they be layered? Can I use one type for the clear coat and another for the initial coat to save a few bucks?

We have an article on DuraGrade Concrete below which should be able to answer most of your questions. In short, Rust Bullet for concrete will provide better wear and protection than DuraGrade. However, DuraGrade is easier to apply, requires less coats for the same thickness, it doesn't require a respirator to apply, and it comes in much better colors.

Thanks. That's what I was looking for.

Link doesn't work for me? (probably me)

I'm trying to decide between RB and Nohr-S Polyurea.

No, it's not you. We are in the middle of switching hosts and performing a site audit in order to increase the performance and speed of our site. We have been experiencing temporary outages during the process. We should be running smooth soon!

Shea, hate to voice my opinion on other products....BUT here I go. Advertising a concrete coating that does not require a surface profile is down-right foolish and wrong!!! There I said it.

Haha... Yes Scotty, to say that you are not a fan of coatings that do not require much prep would be an understatement.

Duragrade is a tinted product and I just don't have the answers yet. I am playing with the product, but we are mostly suggesting other products at this point -- that may change

Anyone know if I can use flakes from another manufacturer with Rust Bullet?

We use TOrginal flakes with it all the time

One more question - I'm perfectly fine with the expansion joints in my floor. Do I need to fill them, or can I just leave them as-is. Will that cause any problems?

 

[Shea]

You can leave contraction joints as is. Just run some of the coating down in the joint with a chip brush and it will look great.
