Good video. Having used epoxy-coat several times in the past, I'll offer a couple of tips - Instead of doing one section at a time, it works great to go ahead and mix and pour out all product at one time. Throw out the little squeegee that comes with the kit and use a large one to spread epoxy over entire area. As long as you have the spiked shoes, it is not an issue walking in the epoxy. Also, using a hand held fertilizer spreader works perfectly for spreading the flakes - much easier than trying to spread by throwing them up in the air.

Really like the way you broke the project down into steps. You also did a good job in listing all the materials and supplies. Very informative. Well done Sir.

If you diamond grind, Epoxy-coat says DO NOT acid etch. If you diamond grind there is no need to etch.

I cant help but give alot of appreciation to your method on your video. I am a new set of eyes who is wanting to learn about doing this project and I love the way you explained it in details from the beginning. Some people go off the topic and dont stay on point when explaining things. Your information was easily digestible and your illustration on the project was excellent. Thank you so much for your time and your patience in explaining this as well as your time to research. Now I dont have to do much research LOL.

@rogeramadon4064 4 года назад

EXCELLENT Video!! Very in depth demonstration of the work and application process required in order to get a CLASS A job. My floor will be even more difficult as it has previously been painted with epoxy and I believe will require even more prep! I definitely learned it is not for the faint of heart to attempt as a DIY and now will be looking into hiring a professional if I follow through with my plans to have my floor redone. Thanks again for a GREAT video and keep up the good work!

@randybohn5973 5 лет назад

I'm never too old (75) to learn from experts like you ... biggest obstacle I have is that my two car garage is full of non car stuff like tool boxes, wheeled steel storage bins, exercise equipment etc... Methinks the first step in this process from my perspective is to check out the weather forecast (rain/wind) since I'd obviously have to move 'stuff' out of the garage onto the driveway. Second step was how best to protect this stuff from weather/walk around and grab guys etc. This is all before I tackle cleaning the garage floor. Know it can be done, with help from my friends/family, but takes some dedicated thought. Thanks for great video

@spartanepoxies3798 6 лет назад

Hi Brian. I would recommend grinding the substrate. Acid doesn't give you the profile that diamond grinding does. Also, your squeegee, that's a window washing squeegee, although it worked using an 18" flat blade squeegee would have been so much easier for you. Thanks for doing the video! Great job!

@gaspanic69 3 года назад

We used epoxy-coat on our garage floor 8 years ago and it turned out very nice. We used dark red with no flakes, but we did apply the UV clear coat. The UV clear has held up nicely inside but the sun faded it within a year where it is exposed. Just completed another floor with "colored epoxies" and we're happy with it. Colored Epoxies is probably more for the professionals as it was more difficult to apply, but the UV clear coat is 10X better.

@davidjones5062 4 года назад

Well done. Buying a new house and considering this for the garage floor. Thank you.

@grunthos1 4 года назад

Have watched a lot of videos on applying epoxy flooring, your prep work is meticulous, and the results show that. This floor turned out as good as any I've seen. I especially appreciate the advise on bouncing the paint chips off the floor and ceiling for better dispersion. If there was one thing I would do differently, would be to first paint the stairs a bright color (yellow?), then mask off the edge of the stairs. After finishing, I'd peel off the masking and have a nice yellow stripe around the edge of the stairs, for safety. Of course you could always put something down afterwards for the same effect.

Thanks for the video, very well done! I have a question though, did you pull up the painters tape you used to define the edge after the first coat, the clear coat, etc? Did the blue painters tape give you a nice edge or did it peel up any of the epoxy? Thanks!

@rogerhodges9721 5 лет назад

Painters tape does not stick to concrete well enough to leave a clean edge. There is a new product out (2018) called Concrete Tape. What I have seen was bright yellow and it stuck pretty well when rubbed down very firmly. Professional installers are using this tape in the Atlanta area.

@antoineleblanc7264 6 лет назад

Great video by the way; very helpful. What about "hot tire" reaction? does it stand up well against hot tires? I live in Southern California and it gets pretty hot. So of course after the commute I would be hesitant to park in the garage right away.

@shanerowland3715 7 лет назад

Hey Brian, Shane here again another helpful video. Do they say how much product you will need to coat the entire floor? Or is it more or less a guessing game as how much to buy at the start? And yes , You are excellent on returning mail. Thank you for this and, all the knowledge you are willing to share. Looking forward to the next one.

@doityourselfbri 7 лет назад

Hey Shane nice to talk to you again! As far as the brand epoxy-coat, the coverage depends how thick you want it to be for example you can buy a kit for a Little less than $200.00 that covers 250sq feet at 9.7mils thick or a another kit that is just under $300.00 that covers 250sq feet at 19.4mils thick...They are very good at explaining the kit details in how far the kit will go and at what thickness it will cover..

@PaulJersey 3 года назад

I did the same procedure, except I used 2 color coats, the top one with the chips. I have a 3 car garage and got 2 quotes from painters at $4,000.00 and one at $3,000.00. I did it myself for roughly $900.00 in materials. I agree with your procedures. It took me 5 days to complete and another 5 days curing time before the cars went back inside. I also painted the stairs, garage doors, short walls, concrete landings, shelves, tool boxes and hydraulic floor jack. Got rid of a lot of junk, and moved a lot of stuff to the tractor shed. I was tired of having a junky looking garage.
