LEARN HOW TO EPOXY YOUR OWN GARAGE FLOOR HERE:
mike-day.mykajabi.com/offers/...
This video will show you how you can apply a tinted, 100% solids epoxy coating to your garage floor. I show you how to prep the concrete floor, how to remove an existing coating or paint, then how to apply the primer coat, colored epoxy coating, and a urethane top coat to protect the epoxy.
This is the best way to install an epoxy floor coating to your garage floor. If you're thinking of installing your own epoxy floor coating, this video shows you the steps involved and the process it takes to roll on the epoxy.
My crew and I are epoxy coating experts. We install epoxy floor coatings for our customers garages, shops, basements, showrooms, and much more.
My epoxy coating course teaches you exactly how my crew and I install epoxy coatings in garages just like the one in the video.
The course also shows you all the tools and supplies you need and the best places to get them. It tells you what I use for epoxy and why it's my favorite.

SIKA EPOXY IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST GRADE EPOXY. if your spending the money to get epoxy flooring done, get the right stuff. No shade to the creator of the video, if the epoxy is done properly with correct mixtures the finished product will last decades if not forever without gaining cracks or breaking chunks free. I have used Sika since I first began epoxy, and my dad did his floor and it remains unscathed for 20 years and counting

@kevinneufeld9711 7 ай бұрын

I hope this comment was helpful! The application was correct just the grade of epoxy was low or maybe the mixtures and times for them were incorrect

Costs around 100 grand for all the gear plus a van and trailer to carry it in, after that it’s cost of materials, once the first jobs done it’s all maintaining gear like rollers and grind wheels and such. Cost of material will be paid off first job, it’s basically floating the product to the customer until they pay. After that it all pays for itself as long as you do good work

That’s a suweet lookin floor! Never worked with epoxy floor coverings but I’m gonna go ‘out on a limb’ here and bet that the secret to a nice looking epoxy floor that lasts is probably gonna be the prep work? Almost true with anything really. Prep, prep then prep again. 🤜🤛

@MikeDayConcrete 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, the prep work is really important. That's why most homeowner diy epoxy floors fail. They're told to just acid etch then apply the big box epoxy. As soon as they drive on it with hot tires the epoxy peels right off under the tire. I grind all my floors before we do our epoxy floors. Never had one fail yet.

@@tylerrue3108 We did our shop floor at work with the Rustoleum ten years ago. Worked great and has held up very well. There are a couple of areas right under the lift that have been cleaned 100 times with solvents and we've got maybe three dime sized areas that basically just wore through that showed up when I pressure washed it. I've spilled every automotive fluid out there on it, dragged forklift forks across it, and generally just used it, and it has held up great. Using brake cleaner on it is the only thing I've found that actually damages it, so don't do that.
