Wolverine Garage Floor

[hldtyt]

Hi from the Show Me state!

I started my application today and I am not happy with how the bondtite went down. (Not products fault) There are place where is seams very thin and there are places where it appears to have soaked totally in to the floor. Roller seemed to work the best for spreading the epoxy around. I royally screwed up in one area. The epoxy was starting to set and I was o so close to being done so I threw just a little bit down for the last pass and well the area looks much lighter than the rest of the floor. Think its OK?

I diamond ground the floor prior to application and it passed every water test. When you look at the floor the bondtite just does not look uniform. Is this normal and am I being way to concerned? I have pics but I will have to post tomorrow.

Thanks in advance!

Chill> Take a break and take a peek at it tomorrow. Odds are you ok. Worst case you need to do another coat of Bondtite, but I am betting that you will be okay as thicker sections do have a different color to them until it is dry.

If the floor was properly prepped, and it sounds like it was, and the product thoroughly mixed and rolled out, you should be fine.

If the floor was a homogeneous slab to begin with then you'd probably end up with a more uniform look after the BondTite application. But from the description the floor wasn't completely even in finish, with some parts being more porous or harder than others, and some spots were probably ground a bit more or less.

With a lot of surfaces, like wood, rocks, and concrete, if you want to highlight the differences you wet them with water. Well the clear BondTite will have the same difference enhancing effect. Not to worry, the pigmented and opaque LiquaTile will even it all out just fine.

And keep in mind that your next two coats will not be applied over an uneven and porous surface, but over a much slicker and uniform surface - they should go down far more easily. But... getting towards the end and having the mixture stiffen up isn't a good thing, you might want to consider working with smaller batches, especially since you'll also need to broadcast those DecoFlakes.
