Wouldn't the bleach yellow the sealant? I was thinking about using my Swiffer and solution but nervous it will discolor. Any comments would be appreciated

As long as you don't overuse the bleach, you'll be fine. We use bleach to clean our floors (use a cap full or two of bleach to a gallon of water) we've never had an issue. The top coat on your floor does matter though. For all our floors we top coat with a urethane or polyaspartic which is more chemical resistant than Epoxy. If you're using a cleaner and are unsure of how it will affect the coating, test it on a small inconspicuous area of the floor. A lot of people also use simple green to clean their floor as well.

I got an epoxy floor that has a slight slope that is about three feet wide which brings water near a base heater. How could I raise...or level...that small section to prevent the water from moving? Thanks.

Are you familiar with toweling? You could either use a self leveling product to fill the low spot and level out the area or you could use a mortar to build up the area and slope it away from the heater.

What type of patch work material do you use? How long to let it dry before grinding it or painting epoxy? I just did my garage but the edge of the walls kind of got grindes too. Wouldn't it make more sense to patch it up after the grinding? Also, did you use a slow drying hardener? When i did this i had about 45 minutes while it took me about 44 ;) Would you recommend mixing smaller batches and doing some overlap?
@columbusepoxyflooring7400 3 ай бұрын
we use a 100% solids epoxy patch that is thickened up so it doesn't sag/fall when you apply it. In most cases its better to patch after you prep. You can absolutely make smaller batched. Try not to over lap too much though because the material will start to build up where you overlap and can show up in the finish making it look like theres a hump, or if your overlapping on the clear/top coat it will look extra glossy and thick in the areas where you over lap. Try to use the control joints (if you have them) as stopping points.

Make sure they use a flexible coating. They'll have to use a similar coating to the linex or the coating could fail because of the difference in surface tension. Potentially poyurea or a urethane deck coating

@@columbusepoxyflooring7400 thank you so much! Very helpful as I am just diving in to researching this. The Line X coating on my trailer floor although Very durable and waterproof- it is a huge hassle to clean and actually never looks clean. The rough texture allows anything to stick, Even with any kind of cloth, hard brush etc, it's just not wipe-able or really clean-able. Hence wanting a smooth surface that can be wiped and mopped with ease! I'd much rather have a slick surface and put mats down for my feet / traction then have a rough, tacky floor. Both of the products you mentioned will create a smooth / slick floor? Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. So appreciated!

I have a question for you. In your own words, why do you not use a prime coat under the base coat? I have been working on this slab and well every time I throw it down at 130 Sqft per gallon (grey 100% solids) and throw the flake to rejection I notice any small little spots that I did not throw the flake correctly show concrete like the grey is completely gone. All I see is a clear thin layer of epoxy. You do not see this anywhere else where I flaked to rejection because obviously it is covered completely. Any ideas? Porous slab or what?
@columbusepoxyflooring7400 5 ай бұрын
It that case it could be a more porous slab. It could also be the coating was applied a bit thinner in those areas. When weve applied the coating over a more porous concrete in the past we've thickened the epoxy with a fumed silica called cabosil to keep it from soaking in excessively. You may also need to double broadcast the floor, meaning you have to install a clean coat over the already flaked floor and flake into the clear coat again to make sure the color is completely even across the floor.
@critik4799 4 ай бұрын
@@columbusepoxyflooring7400 thanks for the reply. Prior to doing a job how do you know if your slab is porous? In most cases if you’re doing full coverage this wouldn’t matter you wouldn’t see the concrete, but I honestly think the flake soaks up some of the epoxy.

@@critik4799 the base coat does absorb in to the epoxy a bit. You might try to apply the base coat a bit thicker. If the coating is too thin it can cause the concrete to show through a bit as youre mentioning. Try using a notch squeegee to put the base coat down it will help to leave the coating more consistent.

@columbusepoxyflooring7400 5 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment. I assume you're referring to the top coat. The polyaspartic topcoat is very different than the epoxy basecoat. They pretty much are opposite of each other in terms of pot life. A lot of slower set polyaspartics have great pot life (around 45-60 minutes) but once they are out on the floor and thinned out they tack up very quickly.
