Great job, Matt. I've just put down plyboard sheets with 5mm penny style rubber matting my space is much smaller than yours. I've just seen you have uploaded a video on ventilation. This is my next project for the Thunder. The outlet of the machine is 6" & the inlet on my purification cabinet is 4" the outlet from the purification cabinet is also 4" to then run outside. I'm not sure if 6" dropping to 4" would choke the system any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I just had two coats of one part epoxy applied to my garage floor after the typical prepping, etc. it came out great but it is cold by me, and I’d like to add one or two more coats so I can add the flakes (that wasn’t done the first time). In a few months, can I simply go right over the epoxy we just applied? Second- did you apply the primer to the concrete walls or just the paint? Thanks and great video!

Wondering just throwing the flakes on top, I’ve seen videos where they scrape off the loose flakes after and put clear coat over it. Are your flakes coming off when sweeping? Is the floor smooth or rough with flakes? Thanks this looks easier for sure!

@laserengravingwithmatt7833 2 ай бұрын

The first time you sweep, there is loose flakes, but only a little bit and I feel like the flakes give it a grip. I never did a clearcoat after I was done because I don’t want it slippery.

I have a business doing polyurea/polyaspartic one day floors in Indiana. From our experience acid just does not do enough of a prep to maintain a good bond. We grind, and use complete flake system and it will last 10-20 years with no issues. Proper prep is key and using good materials. Yes it costs more money to do it right, I think we all understand that.

@HENSLEYDMB 2 ай бұрын

Also, we would use about 130 pounds of flake on that size floor for comparison. There really is no way to do it cheap and make it last. As soon as you park a car in there that epoxy will pop off. I know you said you are not parking cars in so maybe it will last a bit. Good luck and thanks for the video.
