This is the most thorough prep job I've ever witnessed. Well done. And you speak like a warrior. Concise, accurate language goes a long way in communicating what needs to be done. Good job, mister.
this is AMAZING!!! ty!! is there any of these steps/products you would do differently if applying overlay onto cement backer board? we were originally going to install tile, but for several different reasons are now seriously considering a concrete overlay instead and, are hoping the cement board does not have to be removed.
I'd like to put a cement overlay over my wood shop floor . I want a fireproof/sparkproof floor so I don't have to worry about welding over it. Can I do this over a painted floor or do I need to strip the paint first? Is there a primer that will make it bond? Thanks, Great video.
Would the same wood prep be suitable for a sloped shower floor? I'm looking to install a curbless shower and would of course use the appropriate mortar. Great tutorial by the way.
Purpose of structural urethane is to meld the two pieces of plywood together by filling any void between them, essentially creating a seamless foundation to work from. Caulk shrinks over time. Shrinkage = voids = instability = cracks in finish layer = headache to repair.
Can this application process over plywood / Param 5500 be used in a wet area? I'd like to install as a bathroom floor (including a walk-in, curbless shower).
I am considering a concrete floor in my shipping container home. I assume all penetrations need to be done first, how thick can the concrete be. I would need to account for the thickness at at least one door per my room layout.
