As someone who does this professionally there should never be a question of if you should grind it. You should always grind it. Acid etching is not the same. There are other grinders out there that arent very expensive to rent. I recommend using a grinder that comes with a 2 part vacuum. You will save a lot of time on grinding and clean up.

Rust-Oleum went from an oil base 2-gallon kit to water-based gallon. They also raised the price. I was able to get one of the last oil-based kits. My garage is 35 x 35. Preparation is everything. I pressure wash the floor, had a professional come pressure wash the floor with an attachment that look like buffer. I used concrete prep. I also scrub the floor by hand. Working with Rust-Oleum product is a bit different from paint. It was thicker and didn't spread as well as paint. Overall I was pleased with the outcome. I did another garage floor and it came out even better. The product isn't cheap but I think it's worth the effort.

Great job, when you use the concrete grinder, you can wet the concrete to keep the dust to a minimum. I did this in my basement. Also, if you do this in an air conditioned area, block the return or have the AC off. If you don't the dust can make it's way into your AC unit and potentially damage it.

Super thorough video. From someone who's done one before and I'm about to do my second one. Watched this for a refresher and pick up some tips. This time, I think I will buy the extra kit and the shoes. I was able to just barely make the square footage with the last floor. But it's not something you want to make a hardware store run for in the middle of the project. My first one is going on 10 years old. Still looks great, but I do see some slight yellowing in spots. Think I will go with the slightly darker gray this time... due to that.

Excellent video! By far the best I've seen. I did the same thing with excellent results. I did add the clear coat. My two cents: 1. I didn't use the paint chips and NEVER regretted it. Being able to see the dropped screw on the floor is worth it! 2. If you had to stretch your epoxy or have a few areas where the sheen looks uneven, the clear coat makes this look WAY better. Another KZfaq video showed this and I was skeptical, but the finished product after the clear dramatically improves the sheen. 3. I had to remove failed paint first. The chemical method worked for me. 4. I had water seep through the wall and ruin a few baseboards inside the house in areas where there was no concrete riser. Consider sealing these areas before power washing. 5. Best. Upgrade. Ever.

You should always wet grind with diamabrush buffer attachments. Not only will it eliminate dust, it prolongs the life of the diamond blades. I use these for a living installing gym floors. Put plastic on the walls, mop a section heavy with water, grind it in circles, re-wetting if needed. Keep it wet at all times. Squeegee each section and vacuum up the sludge. Also, instead of cleaning with a brush, use the floor buffer with a black or red scrub pad with degreaser. Much better, and easier too

Love it. How much could it cost?

This is an awesome video... thank you very much! I'm looking to do the same for my garage. Quick question (and unrelated)... what is the shelving system that you have in your garage?

Thank you! The shelving is actually something I built myself, but sadly I don't have a video for it

At what stage of the process would you repair cracks and what is recommendation on how to do so? Great video

You should do this after cleaning/degreasing the surface. There are a lot of concrete repair products, and some can be used with a standard caulk gun. You basically can just fill in the crack and let it cure.

You passed on a ton of great tips buddy. I'm surprised the kit didn't come with a top coat after the flaking step. Thanks a ton buddy!

Kinda defeat the purpose of having geometry protruding to produce friction wouldn't it

@@jcbbb after some more research there is quite a variety of this flooring. I do see some with non-slip granules still have some sort of top coat. Well, always do what is recommended by the manufacturer and it should be alright

Great detailed video!! I just moved in a new contruction home last week. So I know my garage isn’t that bad. What step you recommend I should start ?

With a new construction home you should be fine going straight to acid etching. The concrete should already be new enough that you don't need to mess with grinding it. Good luck!

Always grind it. I have fixed too many jobs that were just etched.

True it's literally imperative to a sustainable floor and if a grown man can't go rent a little grinder and work those little wrists holding it for a few hours he should let his wife lead the project heeeeh

Did you have any oil spots that didn’t lift completely? I do, and I wonder how many times I should degrease and scrub. I’ve already done like 4x on some spots.

I didn't have any really bad oil spots, so it's tough to say, but I think with 4x scrubbing you should be good to move on. Hope it turns out!

Great video. If you are not grinding, how long do you need to let acid etching sit before rinsing it off?
@buildsbymaz
@buildsbymaz 5 ай бұрын
Not long - basically once you work it into the concrete, you want to go ahead and rinse if off before it dries
