How does it hold up in cold weather?

You missed one step: After doing a full broadcast after the epoxy dries it needs to be lightly sweep to get the excess chips that did not bond with the epoxy

I have question. I have a brand new house and garage floor that is never been used nor a car ever parked on it. Is "grinding" the concrete still necessary before the epoxy treatment?

I have a 30×40 ft detached garage. The concrete installers cut "Control" joints (not expansion joints) in the concrete. They are about 1/8" wide and about 3/4" deep. The concrete is 4" thick. As you probably already know, the main purpose of creating Control joints is to "control" (prevent) RANDOM cracks. And mine did just that. Every one of my control joints cracked…beyond the original 3/4" depth. SO….my question is – should I fill them with the 2-part epoxy you used? On the heels of that question, should I fill JUST the crack, or should I fill the crack AND the original 3/4" deep joint? Great video BTW!

What about a brand new concrete slab , still need to grind?

You always have to grind the floor for it to properly adhere

Welp, guess I like bare concrete.

Very good info. I will do my father in law's garage this year. It's 3.5m by 15m. It's rough concrete but I will buy a hand grinder and connect it to my big Makita construction vaccuum cleaner. A decent polyasp kit here in Europe indeed is around 1500€. Thanks again for the usefull tips. Greetings from Belgium. 👍

Everything looks good, but not a fan of the edge work at the garage door. It turned out alright with the grinder job, but a more professional finish would be desired by most people paying for this service.

Be sure to use painters tape there, folks 😊

Few things…you need to scrape the flake after it dries to get all the rough edges knocked down and smooth and then vacuum all the loose flake before putting the top coat on.

Clean your rollers with tape prior to use. Just get masking tape and put it on the rollers and get all the loose lint off the roller prior to rolling any epoxy.

Last open the garage like a few inches and mask it off from the outside. That was you prevent anything from blowing in from opening and closing and also allows you to get the epoxy all the way over the concrete and doesn’t leave a line of un-finished/epoxied concrete.

I like it but It cost so much

The materials are good but honestly pretty over priced. But I get it

I do a lot of oil changes in my garage, after i do this floor job will the oil affect the floor and products?

You do live trainings?

ugh gross, it looks way better with no flakes.

33% of people dont know what they are doing.

I was wondering if i could use on new shower concrete floor

I saw a full grind with the do it yourself kit it came out fine.

Westing time and money the best way keep your garage floor clean put nice tin robber mat's it looks beautiful and you save. money, that's never work in salt and snow, i paid professional 1 car garage 2,500. It looks great for 3 months till winter come salt and water all night on floor, maybe that would work in different climate not in snow and salt so no. Good.

Well I bought DIY for $150 + $80 Flakes and $100 clear coat in sherwin Williams and I got same result for $330 . What’s a point a pay over $2k ?

I used the Rustoleum kit 20 years ago. It has held up fine. I had some pros seal my warehouse for $12 per square foot. I'll stick with Rustoleum.

The current trend of talking with the hands, everyone's doing it , newscasters, politicians, celebrities, is so annoying, I was taught to avoid hand gestures, to keep attention on the content not the distraction. Basically he made the video annoying

I used Concrete Floor Solution polyaspartic product on my floor. It is awesome. Floor prep is the most important. Highly recommend this stuff!!

Always easy to rent a floor buffer at home Depot and get the sanding discs and the tool rental apartment 36 crisp round disc you just put the buffer on top of it and go for it if you want to take it down to a totally new surface you can use a 20 grit but hang on because when that thing bites it will take it out of your hand

I used the rustoleum epoxy kit from home depot (clearance for $26). I didn't use the acid. I used a 7 inch hand grinder attached to the shop vac with a dust deputy cyclone. Had no dust residue in the house and never had to clean the shop vac filter after grinding 800 sqft, I filled four 5 gallon buckets of concrete dust. A year later the epoxy is doing great, metal working, sliding heavy equipment across it, prying against it with a crowbar to position a lathe and mill. No chips or flaking, only a few scuffs.

why not just let it dry lol

Best garage floor epoxy application explanation so far.

What did you do about the excess flake on the floor before clear coating?

Probably improper prepping
