Renew your Garage Floor:
Looking for an easy and affordable way to fix up your garage? In this video, I'm going to show you how to use the Stone Coats Epoxy Flake Flooring system to give your garage a new look with a little DIY elbow grease. This system is really easy to use and can be done by anyone, even if you have no prior experience. So stay tuned and I'll show you how it's done. The first step is to use a grinder and a diamond blade to widen the cracks in the floor. Remember not to press too hard, just enough to fit some material into the cracks. Make sure to sweep or vacuum dust before moving on to the next step. Next, mix an equal amount of part A and part B of Floor Patch Epoxy Gel until they become one color. Then, use a stiff putty knife to fill the cracks. The gel will be cured and ready for the next step in 4-8 hours. Now, it's time to use a concrete grinder to scratch the concrete slab. Use a hand grinder with a 7-inch diamond cup wheel for the edges and rent a walk-behind floor grinder to do the rest. Clean up all the dust with a vacuum, blower, or broom. Make sure to vacuum under the sheet rock and any small spaces. This will help ensure that when you use the moisture seal epoxy primer, it stays clean. The next step is to mix and apply Moisture Seal Epoxy Primer. Measure out 1-2 ounces per square foot of floor to cover. Thoroughly mix part A before mixing in part B at a 2:1 ratio by volume. Moisture seal epoxy primer has become the industry standard when applying epoxy over concrete. It penetrates like tree roots, creating a tenacious bond to the slab. Mix material for 2-4 minutes with a paint stick or drill and paddle mixer. Once mixed, spread the epoxy primer across the floor in thin lines with the magic trowel squeegee. Use a 1/4'' microfiber roller to roll over it twice, front to back and then side to side. This will give the best results. The next step is to throw out the flake color depending on how much coverage you’d like. For this project I’m going full coverage. Allow the flake and moisture seal epoxy primer to cure for 24 hours. After the epoxy has dried, take a floor scraper, and lightly scrape the floor. After scraping, Get rid of any loose flakes with a broom or blower. Clean up as many of the flakes as possible before applying the top coat. Before using Polyaspartic Topcoat, prep any area that touches the epoxy with tape to avoid getting the topcoat on places you don't want it to. Measure out 1-2 ounces for each square foot of floor. Mix the topcoat with a paint stick or paddle mixer and a drill for 2-4 minutes. If you want it to be less slippery, add in 2 ounces of our non-skid additive for light grit, 3 ounces for medium grit, or 4 ounces for heavy grit for every 1.5 gallon topcoat. Apply the Polyaspartic topcoat with a 1/4'' microfiber roller. Roll it across the floor from left to right and front to back, ensuring an even coating. Once done, take off any tape and make sure there are no high points or piles of flakes before letting it cure for 24-48 hours with a temperature above 65 degrees. And there you have it! Light foot traffic can resume in 24 hours, and you can park your vehicle on the new epoxy floor in 72 hours. Stone Coats Epoxy Floor system is chemical resistant and easy to clean, perfect for your garage floor makeover.

Do the top coat cover the same sqf if I used 100% flake coverage instead of the 2% coverage like in the kit? And is it better to do a second coat or not recommended for the 100% flakes option (buying the 55lbs flakes bucket) looking for a garage 11.5ft x 20ft + side concrete walls 20inchx31.5ft 100% flakes.

I have old vinyl tiles on my floor , which has definitely seen better days! I have been advised to remove these old broken & beat up vinyls tiles or screed over them before laying new vinyl flooring! If I wanted to put a floor down like this one, should I remove the tiles first, then screed to make it all one level or what would you suggest?

@StoneCoatCountertops Жыл бұрын

Best practice I would remove the old tiles. Use a PCD cup wheel on a grinder. It's messy but will make quick work of removing the tiles. Use a cement level quick after to quickly smooth and level the slab. Use the level quick bonding primer 1st, roll out a layer and let it dry. Mix the level quick real thin like the instructions. It's almost as thin as water. Let the level quick dry 1-2 days and you're ready for flooring epoxy. Let me know if you have any more questions!

slight slope is just fine, most garages or shops slop to the front door. The moisture seal goes down real thin so it won't pool up or drain.

We don't sell a cement self leveling compound. Pick that up at the home depot or lowes. They also sell a self leveling bonding primer to put down first to help with adhesion of the self leveler. Allow the cement to dry 24-48 hours before applying the flooring epoxy.

@ArmourCoatings-zk3fh Жыл бұрын

That looks so unprofessional no offence the steps are there but a few have been missed. Also blowing the flakes out of the garage is going to make a mess and grinding without a vacuum or using a industrial scale concrete vacuum. Also using a blower to blow the dust out wouldn’t stand in my neighbourhood. Just imagine the amount of silica dust your talking in. “Cancer “. But professionals in return provide you a warranty the product and the elbow grease that will have job finished in 2 days for a average double garage. An epoxy base flakes and Polly aspartic top coat would cost anyone around $700USD without rental of grinder.

@StoneCoatCountertops Жыл бұрын

Thanks for stopping by and for your feedback. The flakes were blown to the front of the shop, we pulled up the floor covering out front to catch them, then swept them up, there is no silica in our epoxy flakes. We took our industrial, contractor grade flooring epoxy system and re formulated it for the homeowner DIY'er. We removed the chemical's and VOC's, extended the working time so the DIY'er new at flooring epoxy wont have to rush which is why the project will take the homeowner a little longer than the pro material. How does your neighborhood deal with the insane chemical smell while applying your professional flooring epoxy if they are upset about dust? If a DIY'er follows the steps in our tutorial video their floor will be a success and look and last just as long as the contractor making a $3-4 thousand mark-up. There will plenty of customers willing to pay a pro even after I give some confidence and teach a DIY'er how to do it.
