I've used commercial grade epoxy for a company based out of baton rouge Louisiana, man power an skill an knowing product timing is essential. I enjoyed doing all the raising canes restaurants in Louisiana all the way to Huston and even residential floors and car ports, garages. From flake to pearl I miss the trade!!

I have a 250sq ft basement room I want to epoxy, I removed all the tile and started to remove the left over thinset. I got about a quarter removed, was wondering do I need to remove everybit of thinset down to bare concrete or is okay to knock just the high spots down and leave the rest with standard grooves. Will the epoxy fill in the gaps? Or should I use a self leveling concrete on the whole floor first or continue to chisel/grind the thinset down? (So much dust)

I just got 3 H&C shield Crete kits, gallon of clear coat and a bag of flakes for free from my neighbor. Spent the past few days scrubbing the floor to just realize I’m gunna have to grind it after all(last owner put peel n stick carpet out there so no oil stain ever got cleaned up for many decades)😂 should I use something like behr concrete primer before applying the epoxy floor? My slab is in a floodplain so it always has some humidity, I read in multiple articles that it works well for paint(my original plan before I got all the free epoxy stuff) I’m curious if I should still use the primer or if I should just return it with the other paint supplies. Also it’ll be in a garage that’s going to get wet in the winter, will it be slippery?

do you have to scuff the clear coat (physical adhesion), or are you doing it while the clear is still wet (chemical adhesion)?

@johnjoe7278 9 күн бұрын

more than likely used a grinder on the floor before anything

@LeggariProducts 7 күн бұрын

The floor was shot blasted to make it really porous, then we did a thin coat of epoxy to seal the poors and minimize outgassing. This layer also creates an extremely strong bong with the concrete so it'll last a LONG time. From there the decorative coat can be installed. ALWAYS prep the surface to ensure a strong bond between the substrate and coating products💯

@LeggariProducts 7 күн бұрын

Yessir! Always prep the substrate🔥 Our favorite prepping tool is a shot blaster to establish a porous surface and create a strong bond.
