Great video Steve, 17 years it has done well, 👍👍

[@baldeagle242]

Thank you, the worst part about this is getting everything out of the way and cleaning it. 😁👍

It turned out nice Steve, good job bud. 👍👊

[@baldeagle242]

Thank you John. The secondary benefit was a purge of all things forgotten in my shop. 😁👍

[@Big_Johns]

Oh yes, I need to do that again in my shop but something can sit in a corner for 10 years and the week after I throw it away I'll need a part off of it. It never fails. 🤣

@@Big_Johns When my father "retired," we took 4 - 18' trailer loads to the scrap yard. At the time, we just had to clear out a storage unit and really had no place else to go with everything. At this point, I constantly need parts and stuff that we scraped, and wish I had taken the time to pull a lot of the smaller parts off.

[@Big_Johns]

So very true Steve.

Great video, as usual. I found myself touching it up about every three years or so as it wears in tire area’s.

[@baldeagle242]

Thank you! I did the same thing with this one the last time I did it. After a certain point i just gave up on the touch up and should have done this much sooner. It’s just so time consuming!

Used this product several times and it is OK but has never held up to my satisfaction. I just completed a project and used the RockSolid version and so far the product is standing up to its name. It is extremely tough and I expect it will last forever. I will never go back to the epoxy again. It says it is 20 times tougher than the epoxy and I believe it. The RockSolid comes in blister packs that mix by kneading rather than cans so you have to use it all at once. The other difference is that if you don’t have very good ventilation you’ll need a full face mask with a new set of carbon filters and a fan. The RockSolid is also a lot more shiny than the epoxy and a top coat is unnecessary…….
