No problem.

You still can't tell from those pics... I'll try to remember to post some pics of close ups of this type of material tomorrow from my office... Also, the colors of rock we have are about the same as anyone else has... so... it may give some of you some ideas... (Again... I'm afraid that we can't sell a technology like this for DIY applications...)

This looks like they troweled it but layed in forms like in terrazzo. interesting......why the forms? just curious. 930, can you take close ups? Is there a reason to lay it in forms like terrazzo?

Wolverine, you make it sound like its so advanced with the word "technology". Whats so hi tek about it besides it being troweled on and layed in forms?

It's layed in forms because it makes it easier to lay evenly. (You've got a guide to keep a smooth surface) We wouldn't sell this type of technology to a DIY person because they will most likely NOT get it even without the proper tools and technique. They will also be unlikely to get the right compaction. Even experienced epoxy professionals can screw up their first job of epoxy stone. The bottom line is... if you don't do a good job laying chatahoochee... it looks like **** and is difficult to remove! If you want to try a little on some tile backerboard or something I'll send you some if you pay the shipping. *This offer isn't good for everyone... just garageguy who is a professional installer... just send me a PM

Oh... I just used the word 'technology' because we have so many different chemistries and types of products we get used to using this term generically. We have over 5000 formulations and dozens of chemistries... You don't really want to describe them all of the time... so... you just say 'technology'...

Anyway... the actual chemistry of these types of systems are actually pretty simple... it just takes some practice to make a large area look good. Not many homeowners have a huge finishing trowel on a stick.

Not really forms, just metal strips over the saw cuts in the concrete.

looks like a rice krispy treat! it looks like one of my quartz floors without top coats. Like I said, I've seen these on pool decks. I can't imagine this in a garage. Where as soon as you open your garage door, evry neighborhood leaf and debris get sucked in. Those nooks and crannies will eventually trap dirt and oil. If your floor looks like this 930, ask if they can at least add a sealer coat to fill in those spaces. That would be my pro opinion. If I where to offer that, in a garage, I would seal and poly it or use a poly eurea or spartic.
