      You're most welcome brother
      It dosen't have to be the same brand as long as it's 100 percent solid epoxy you are good to go. After the prep work make sure to apply the epoxy in the coolest time of the day like in the morning. If it's ur first time mix only half of the containers and finish one side and the mix the other half and do the other side of the garage. I got this from a place called Target building supplies in Windsor Ontario you can call the manufacturer and they can tell you where to buy it from as it is a Canadian made product. All the best.

      Thank you for your input. My garage has 2ft of exposed concrete walls under the drywall, I already grinded down to nice and smooth surface. Should I start with the side walls first, flake it and mix more material to do the floor? How much time do I have to work with these epoxy?

      @@bognarphotography1 yes
      I that's a very good idea
      Do the walls first and then the floors
      Make sure there is no flakes on the ground when u apply your epoxy. Blow it with a leaf blower or sweep it up.
      If u get ur self a notched squeegee it will make it a lot easier on you. Try to avoid rolling as much as u can.
      This stuff will cure very very fast as it is 100% epoxy is say max work time is 20 min or so. So make sure to mix smaller batches
      If u use brush and roller for the sides make sure to get something that dosen't dissolve. Only use roller and brushed that are good for oil based paint and get a few of them in case they get dried up or hardened up while u work with them.

    Great job with prep, installation and explaining the whole process. Just so you know, you have ‘control’ joints and not ‘expansion’ joints. Expansion joints are normally caulked to hide the felt material used in between the independent slabs of concrete. control joints are simply shallow grooves used to control cracking (concrete is still one slab). Applying epoxy in the control joints has no impact on the performance of the concrete. Nice vid!

    Also - a good squeegee hack. Buy some rubber/vinyl cove base. When your squeegee blade eventually fails, just drill and bolt on another blade using wingnuts and the cove base. I've been running the same handle over 30+ jobs with replacement blades for about $4.00 per foot rather than $30 a squeegee.

      No you either have to grind it down just like what I did in the video or use primer. Just make sure if you are using primer, that primer works with the finish or the epoxy that you're going to apply.
      I highly recommend grinding the surface and in my opinion that's the best route. Once the surface is itched the epoxy will bond very very well to the surface. And specially in new areas where the concrete is poured the surface of the concrete is very smooth which make it very difficult for the finish to stick to the surface.

      @renovationschool8818  2 роки тому

      @@ninjip3460 i think it's not a bad idea
      As long as it works with the actual epoxy
      I wouldn't use a primer that is built by a different company.
      I had an area on my driveway that a little drop of epoxy was spelled on it . I couldn't remove it with any chemical. The only way is to grind it or chip it out , it adhear that much. It almost eats through the concrete.
      Before u do it watch the video again
      If u can grind the corners it's even best. Get a notched trowel and it will make it life a million times easier
      Aslo u can fill the cracks with sikaflex caulking before u apply the epoxy. In my video you see that they leave the seams alone and I fill it at the very end that's because it was in the middle of the pandamic and I didn't have access to sikaflex caulking. If u get that u can apply some backer rod in the seams and fill the seams first then do the epoxy on top. It will look seam less.

      If you only use the epoxy without anything else then use the silka sand to make it slip proof otherwise dont use it if u are planning on using the chips and clear coat.

    Pro-tip: 100% solids means that the set-up of the mix is exothermic.
    If you leave the bulk in the bucket? The exothermic process is enhanced & sped-up.
    Dipping from the bucket is not best-practices.
    You need to pour the entyre mix out in ribbons on the entyre floor & then start to work it into & over the floor.

      Thanks for watching 🙂 if the plastic is sweaty the next day, then epoxy won't work on your floor, u need to apply the epoxy to a bone dry surface. if there is moisture in the concrete the epoxy will not bond or adhere to the concrete. That's the reason why I said if the concrete floor was just poured in the garage ( if the house is brand new) you have to wait at least 40 days before applying the epoxy.

    • @renovationschool8818
      @renovationschool8818  Рік тому

      I'm sorry I didn't understand what you mean exactly.
      If you already have epoxy on your garage floor and you want to redo it and make it look something like this, you should grind and remove the existing old epoxy first thing first. And then you can apply this new epoxy onto your garage floor. If it's a bigger garage floor and you need multiple kits to cover the entire area you can mix one at a time and apply them on the same day . The clear coat needs to be applied the next day right after cleaning the chips. Just keep in mind that your clear coat is the most important part of this project if you want this to be washable and if you want this to last for a long time it's best to invest in a very high quality top coat that goes exactly what the product that you applied on the bottom and also you want this to be non yellowing so it doesn't yellow after sometime.

      @garageganggyms you will need 2 epoxy kits and maybe you get away with one clear coat kit (maybe)
      Mix the first epoxy kit and apply it. that will get most of your garage covered when it's done in a new bucket mix the second kit and apply it to the rest of the garage right away . The open time for the second coat is 3 to 6 hrs. In case if you want to apply a second coat of epoxy it has to be applied at least 3 hrs after the first coat was applied and max 6 hrs after the first coat was applied. Keep in mind it's summer and it will dry up 3 times faster. If that 6 hrs window is passed you have to sand the first coat so it's scratched and then apply your second coat because it will harden up so much and it will be shinny and supper smooth. if u apply your first coat and throw the chips on it , you really don't need a second coat. One coat will do great.in my opinion 2 coats is too much .It's been 2 years since I've done this garage and despite all the abuse it still looks like the day 1 . So I think one coat is already very good enough.

      thank you kindly Joe.
      the cost of all material was as listed here :
      grinder rental :$80
      Epoxy , clear coat , flakes and everything else $650 Canadaian Dollars
      I abuse this garage floor everyday and it hold super amazing so far.
      I got the epoxy from a concrete supply store in Windsor , Ontario , Canada (the store name is Target) u can find 100 percent epoxy in any big city, just google for it and you will find them. most specialty concrete stores have amazing products. I got quoted $6000 for thE garage only and they asked $1000 extra for my stairs , I did it myself and saved $5k.
      I hope this video helps you. if u had any question im always here for you brother.

      one more time you can get 100 percent epoxy from most of concrete and epoxy specialty stores in your area.(it dosent have to be the same brand if ur not in canada) its not hard to find , just use 100 percent epoxy thats the secret to make it last the longest.

If the right product was used it will be cleanable. I don't know your definition of a pro company. pro companies must use good quality products and they must be responsible for their job quality and they always give you warranty.
