    Looks great! And you are correct, the prep is the key. When I did mine I did not intend on putting the cars back in so I went with a rubber floor. Keeps the cold of the concrete out. You may want to make sure your garage doors are insulated.

I just didn't want to spend 15K on the floor. This seems to be a great option and I thank you for your step by step tutorial. Your finished product looks great!

    I used this coating twice, my biggest complaint is over time (3-6 months) the epoxy breaks down from warm tires and that section peels up. My next plan is industrial epoxy 2 part system this summer. I am glad this one benefited you 👍

    Great Job. Tons of bad reviews out there about this and similar one part epoxy paints. The products work but most of the failures are die to bad prep. Any stains need a degreaser product and solid cleaning. Then when dry a good etching. Then make sure it is very dry before bonding coat and then make sure that’s dry. Most people skip, cheat or are impatient causing the failures.

    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.

    @golfaddict75 3 місяці тому +1

    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!

    • @laserengravingwithmatt
      @laserengravingwithmatt  3 місяці тому +2

      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.

    Amazing job! Questions: Do you have to apply the epoxy paint within a certain time period? Can you put the lid back on the can and use the paint later or is it once it's open you must apply all of it?

  • @Don-ul6rx
    @Don-ul6rx 3 місяці тому +2

    You should have rented a floor buffing machine with red or brown Scotch Brite pads to scuff the floor. That's what I did in my basement in 1996 and the paint is still on the floor to this day.

  • @vincent33195
    @vincent33195 4 місяці тому +1

    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!

      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
      @HENSLEYDMB 3 місяці тому +1

      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.
