    Can this be done on a mixed substrate floor?

Can I use a levelling compound and pour on the exisitng floor (I understand prep you mentioned for tiled areas)? Does this epoxy flex after drying?

    Great video. Question for ya… I want to do a metallic on my garage floor. I don’t have saw cut control joints. Instead I have the wider tooled joints. I’d rather have a seamless metallic floor so I am looking for a product that I can use to completely fill/over fill my tooled joints and then grind flat with the concrete. @00:38 you are using your “floor patch epoxy gel” to fill that rather wide crack. I’m curious if that would be a good product I could use to fill my tooled control joints? I love your guys stuff. Thanks so very much.

  • @yZeCounsel
    @yZeCounsel 5 місяців тому +1

    I tried using the harbor freight dust shroud for the angle grinder, but it was either too shallow due to the shroud extending past the cup wheel to where you’d have to dig in too much and the grinding would not be even and gouge, OR with the spacers, one the cup wheel was flush with floor, there were not enough threads left for the retaining ring. I wound up opening doors, windows, with a circuit of 4 carpet fans to vent, and used water on the floor to reduce dust.
    That said , any suggestions on a better dust shroud or what have you is appreciated.
    I couldn’t rent a walk behind due to it being too heavy to load/unload myself, and not having a trailer or lift gate.
    Do walk behinds have vacuum hookups to reduce dust?
    I’d love to do more of this, but i can’t find a way to reduce the dust efficiently - it’s really the only showstopper for me

      Hi, thanks for checking in! You can go over tile with a few prep steps.
      1. rough up the tiles with a 7 or 4 in diamond cup wheel. You can get a dust shroud to eliminate dust in the air.
      2. Apply a polymer bonding primer designed for the Level Quick and apply it to the tile and let dry get these products at a hardware store.
      3. Mix up and apply the level quick to eliminate the grout, let dry overnight
      4 . Apply the moisture seal epoxy primer over the level quick, nice and thin. 1oz. per square foot of floor to cover, apply with a floor squeegee
      5. Apply the metallic or dye tinted epoxy flooring midcoat with colors you desire.
      6. Apply the Ultimate topcoat in the sheen of your choice.
