The Top Reasons to Use 1 Part Epoxy Paint Instead of 2 Part Epoxy 

if you would like to see how i prepared my floor check this out ---> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vByKIq0xpUk.html

Great Video! The "Paint yourself into a corner" part was priceless! Thanks for the excellent information and demo on what to do, and not do. :)

Excellent job! Keep it up! Floor paint videos are trending lately 🎉

Now they have 1 part epoxy and primer all in one. Besides assuring you’ve prepped the floor clean you need several thinner coats for decent durability. You could even use it around the lower 6”-12” of wall or higher and add water resistance if you like to wash the floors.

I just found your video-6months after you made it. Can you tell us how the floor is holding up? I have the epoxy shield one part. I’m having to wait 28 days after patching cracks to apply.

Thank you for sharing

Like this, thanks boss

May I? TIP! To STOP peeling on concrete floors, one MUST check the floor for moisture after one washed the floor. 3'x3' or so plastic sheet and tape it down good to the floor. Wait 24 hours and check for moisture under plastic. IF moisture, repeat until moisture is gone. I hope this helps.

Excellent job! Would you be interested in trying our DOVOH laser level?

how has this held up since? any touch ups?

Hello.. thanks for the video. I painted epoxy top coat by mistake and now wondering if I can paint base layer on top of my top coat ? I used rustoleom rock solid

Looks great

You finished floor looks like the floor I currently have in my basement. Maybe this epoxy paint is what they used before I bought my house. Is there a high gloss epoxy I can squeeze on top of it? It’s about 350 sq ft

Great job.

How is it holding with water, moisture, can you share a picture of how it looks like today...

How about a thin layer of self leveling floor compound first so as to smooth out the some minor imperfections ?

Can I lay the epoxy chips on 1-part epoxy?

What's the name and where can we buy this type of epoxy? How does it wear/look after 5 months?

hi there, can you still do a solid color with the 2 part epoxy flooring instead of using flakes? im not a fan of the flakes and just want the same durability but using a solid color. do you know the process for this? its for my garage floor so it needs to be resistant but again i prefer the solid color instead of these crazy flakes. i guess they hide more imperfections but thats not what im really worried about. the flakes seem to be really rough as well. i dont want to slip and still have some grip but the flakes feel a little too much. thanks for any input. i believe you still have to diamond grind and sand the floor down to remove existing paint thats coming apart. again just want to know if i can go with solid color instead of flakes but with the full 2 step process. thanks

2 + questions: 1) Any idea how well this stuff seals up the odor of cat urine on concrete? 2) Assuming it does well with regard to my first question, is there any reason that I'm not considering as to why this wouldn't be a good base coat in preparation for vinyl plank flooring?

good advice tips Thanks

How to mixed flooring epoxy..!! Primer and paint

Is it more slippery than bare concrete?

Workshop soon :O

Thank you for sharing. I'm doing the same thing for my two car garage. The concrete bonding primer, the instructions on the can is saying that you have to wait at least 4 hours

Hi, how is the floor after 5 months? Any regrets or do it differently? I am thinking about going your route....cheaper, easier, more colors available, don't like the flakes in epoxy kit. Thanks!

What im curious about is, you can get the clear glossy kit and layer over this from rustoleum. So why cant you just layer up this stuff?

how long waiting bonding primer wating

How's your floor doing one year later? I'm thinking about using 1 part epoxy, and the surface I will be putting it on is a new build construction. My guess is that I will need to do acid etching as well.

We have an issue with pet urine on our concrete floor and it has been difficult to remove. One professional online stated if one gets most of the urine out, that one can then apply a two-part epoxy -- they noted that a one part epoxy will not adequately seal the concrete for stopping emission of the uric acid decomposition smell. Comment?

may be you should do a video of 2 part epoxy so we DIY ers will not mess up

wouldn't it have ben better to paint the walls before doing the floor ?

where are you coming up with these dry times? it seems you didn't even read the can.

I’m a little confused how is this considered a one part epoxy? The bonding primer is the chemical second part, thus two part!

Much faster to pour it out onto floor and then roll, doing one section at a time.

How has it held up now that it is been a few months?

2 part epoxy job is really too expensive since you also need to use the correct primer for almost the same price.

The bonding primer looks like a wash.

i’ve used the 2 part kits and 20 years later, it’s on the floor the one part you will be doing every year, bud mistake really, time will tell, thanks

Seeing you using that paint pan, and cheap throw away brush, had me realize why you only have 662 likes out of 78,000+ views! The biggest mistake that people make in attempting a concrete floor coating, is testing for MOISTURE!! Duct taping a 2x2 or 4x4 foot piece of plastic/visqueen for 24 hours on the surface! If there is MOISTURE, you have a choice to grind the surface, or DO NOT COAT THE SURFACE! I have used a few of the so called one part epoxy coatings, and not a one, compares to the solvent based 2-part Epoxy! When applied correctly, you can take a hammer to the dried/cured epoxy and wont chip it!

Hey man don't you need those knees for doing something else, lol. You will get better mileage of your feet if you start using knee pads. Thanks for the video.

10 days to cure! Wtf!

Paints from home Dipot sorry 😢 not any are good

looks like #!$!

My least favorite thing about the directions on this stuff is that they tell you to cover your entire floor with concentrated hydrochloric acid. Like how fucking stupid do you have to be to think it’s a good idea to spread a massive amount of acid all over your floor? If you did it inside of your house I feel like all of the metal parks in your basement will just start to rust because of the massive amount of acid in the air
