thank you! ❤

Yes! You can get the floor wet to reduce dust however this will create a slurry which is muddy concrete or muddy epoxy which is heavy and difficult for the vacuum to suck up. They actually make slurry vacuums but they are thousands of dollars.

They rent a "diamabrush" concrete prep tool at many home depots. or you can order one online

Great Question! I have never seen 40 grit but I've seen 32 and 16 grit. The 16 grit will work "if" the concrete is soft enough, but that is a big "if." Usually concrete is too hard for sandpaper to have any effect. So generally speaking sandpaper is not acceptable. However there's always the exception, and like I said if the concrete is soft enough and it works then hey, do it....but when I did try it on that soft slab it tore up the sandpaper really fast so I went through like eight pads at 15 bucks a pad each so it didn't save any money :(

i am glad they helped. let me work on that next.

message me thru the Facebook page for us and we will talk so i can help u

lol... yeah all my friends joke about that! It was actually only supposed to be a 30 second video I told him to hold on and wait until I start grinding but I just kept thinking of things to talk about and it turned out to be a good video. lol

yes we do. unfortunately when i started in 2003 my first year i lost hundreds of dollars showing up on a Saturday morning with two guys to have people constantly cancel last minute. I had promised the guys work and since they had canceled their other job I was obligated to give them money. Plus I lost out on other customers who would have booked that day. after I went to the deposit people didn't cancel anymore, I've made a few mistakes and let people convince me that they're not going to cancel but it's always those people that are most difficult to get paid on. The amounts of business that I lose because of requiring a deposit is very small compared to the amount of money I lost because of people who canceled.

bondo all purpose

Great Question. If you degreased and power washed then you would still need to acid wash and power wash afterwards. degreasing removes grease but it does not create a concrete profile. a concrete profile is roughness. If you pour acid on concrete and then power wash it it will make the concrete rough. So yes you could decrease and then acid wash but you would have to wait for the floor to dry and that takes time and money. The cost of the acid and the time associated with degreasing and power washing cost more than the price of diamond grinding.

My bad

Concrete Grinder. You can use a 7" angle grinder with a diamond cup wheel if you're just getting started.

Thank you

this is Polyaspartic. i think i used gp4850 in this video and put it down at 160 ft² per gallon or 10 mils thick. rexthane is a good product but can only be applied at 2 Mils thick. If you put Rexthane down too thick it will crack.

either the diamabrush mastic removal wheel or a custom wheel i made that i bolt 16 grit extra soft single stars onto

Late reply... but I would prep every floor, and not count on any kind of finish be sufficient as so. Concrete must also sit for a minimum of 28 days for the moisture to cure out of the concrete completely. Otherwise the water would work it's way upward and pop your coatings off

Very good question! I remember asking this to someone a long time ago. Broomstick finished concrete is actually very weak. The ridges crumble easily. So if you have that you need to grind it flush. You want someone to pour the slab as normal (smooth hard trowel). Then do your diamond grinding.

Yes you can put these coatings under gym equipment but if you drop weights you want those thick pads or youll crack the concrete and therefore the coating

yea i feel for him every time i watch this video. i didn't plan on talking that long but when i get going it is hard to stop! i greatly appreciate this young mans patience while i talk, much appreciated.

They sell Spike shoes that have what looks like nails coming out the bottom of them

It really just depends on how many you want. If you're doing a chip floor then you put down the poly aspartic and then put chips on top of it and then clear polyspartic on top of the chips because you cannot leave chips without a clear coat. If your floor is rough then you will need a primer before all of this in order to make it more level so that's probably why some people use three coats

Thank you Donna did you end up doing your floor?

Thanks Rodney
