Great Video Steve.

Mr Stephen's video on showing what is done way before Lose gravel is poured and leveled and then water mixed poured gravel cement is leveled, he's showing that plastic is being laid down before the epoxy enamel is applied ,this makes a hell of lot more sense, it's so dam simple

Can you paint over a smooth finish after using self leveling concrete

Great video! So, in the event that my moisture test is a fail what could you recommend as an alternative coating solution?

Thanks for reaching out! If you're dealing with moisture in your floor and looking for alternative flooring options, I'd recommend considering one of these three options: interlocking garage floor tiles, epoxy sealers/penetrating sealers, or concrete stain. Floor tiles are easy to install over existing concrete, and they providing a durable and waterproof surface that allows moisture to evaporate. Epoxy sealers or penetrating sealers create a protective barrier against moisture, while still allowing the concrete to breathe. And if you prefer a more decorative option, concrete stain can enhance the appearance of the floor while still allowing moisture to evaporate. Each of these options has its benefits, so it ultimately depends on your specific needs and preferences. Let me know if you have any other questions or need further assistance!

Is there a product that can be used if there is moisture… no barrier to block the moisture?

@keennanvisga4133 Ай бұрын

Does the moisture test work for brand new concrete with a sealer? Would a moisture mitigating primer help after grinding? It's a brand new construction, so it probably has plastic

@krisrobinson207 Ай бұрын

No, moisture levels change a lot over the years with concrete. You want primer that is described as a "vapor barrier"

Always grind or shot blast. If your contractor says they acid etch or pressure wash for prep your floor WILL fail its only a question of when

Well done. I don’t know if you actually used the word primer or not in the video. Adding a low viscosity primer would be other thing I always recommend. Follow those steps any never have a failure. (3 coat system) low viscosity primer, 100% solids intermediate coat, flake, polyaspartic topcoat.

Are you done making videos boss? I miss watching them

@ConcreteFloorSolutions 18 күн бұрын

@@brandocommando4459 we completely transformed our business into material sales now. We sold all of our equipment so I can't record any more installations. I would still like to record some videos, most likely it will be other contractors installing the materials though

Good for you man, hope to see more soon

@tonymontana897 Ай бұрын

I also think a primer coating should be put down first, after the grinding, then the epoxy coat.

Also, hardly any homes have plastic underneath the concrete in the garage , maybe just newer builds .

what are the alternatives to epoxy in garage?

@brandocommando4459 18 күн бұрын

They do make these click together squares that look cool. One brand name comes to mind is swisstrax. I think they're expensive, but there's other cheaper alternatives out there that I haven't done too much research. If one square gets damaged, they're easily replaceable, they sit on top of floors like the floating vinyle floors

Thank You. Good Stuff. Please lose the music though.

You always test for moisture, and you always use a moisture barrier if it is within tolerances. You warranty the product but not the concrete. You need to know what you are getting into before you do one. There are ways to mitigate some of these issues. Not all concretes are created equal. Meaning one pour can be different from one cement to the other. Shot blast or grind to CSP 2 to 3. Acid wash is junk.

@ssdtrain1 2 ай бұрын

why not just apply a vapor barrier first? companies apply epoxy on every floor, they just use a vapor barrier, then primer, then epoxy.

@CarnivoreguyScott 2 ай бұрын

The vapor barrier is the clear epoxy, Then a 2 part colored epoxy, then a 2 part poly sealer

@krisrobinson207 Ай бұрын

Vapor barrier is the primer.

this information is not accurate. First of all no one is going to turn the job down if the client says we just want you to do it and we won’t hold you liable if anything happens in the future , and, of course, have them sign a document stating those facts . Secondly : I’ve been in the business for 20 years and all you need to do put a 2 part solvent-based vapor barrier epoxy down on the floor after you profile and then clean it. That will serve 2 purposes 1- it prevents moisture from leeching up from the bottom referred to as (hydrostatic pressure ) and it also acts as a primer for the two-part pigmented epoxy to adhere to , and then you always top coat with a two-part polyurethane or Polyaspartic clear coat .Your welcome .
