I've used commercial grade epoxy for a company based out of baton rouge Louisiana, man power an skill an knowing product timing is essential. I enjoyed doing all the raising canes restaurants in Louisiana all the way to Huston and even residential floors and car ports, garages. From flake to pearl I miss the trade!!

[@morganbaker3808]

This dude is a good teacher - calm and helps you feel confident while you're doing the action. Rare in this kind of work. My question is did you guys sand this or did you not have to bc you did the epoxy layer first? Or is this a new construction and you didn't feel like you needed to?

[@johnjoe7278]

more than likely used a grinder on the floor before anything

[@LeggariProducts]

The floor was shot blasted to make it really porous, then we did a thin coat of epoxy to seal the poors and minimize outgassing. This layer also creates an extremely strong bong with the concrete so it'll last a LONG time. From there the decorative coat can be installed. ALWAYS prep the surface to ensure a strong bond between the substrate and coating products💯

[@LeggariProducts]

Yessir! Always prep the substrate🔥 Our favorite prepping tool is a shot blaster to establish a porous surface and create a strong bond.

A great video as usual. I have a suggestion to make if you can mention the time and the date on the corner of the screen then the audience would be able to understand and learn at which time you started laying primer, what time you put the first layer of epoxy and after how much time you added the highlights etc. The audience will understand more effectively if they can know the time required for one coat to dry out and the number of days needed to do a garage of a certain area.

[@LeggariProducts]

Yes most garage floors do have a taper! If it's minimal, you'll just want to keep and eye on things but typically it isn't that much of a concern. You can also install the epoxy after letting it sit in the bucket for a little while-it wouldn't be as fluid but you would have to spread it on the floor more quickly. A great solution for this is our flake floor kits-they are seamless, very easy to install, and hide any imperfections beautifully😍👉 leggari.com/order-flooring/#flake-floor-kits

Spent the past few days scrubbing the floor to just realize I’m gunna have to grind it after all(last owner put peel n stick carpet out there so no oil stain ever got cleaned up for many decades)😂 should I use something like behr concrete primer before applying the epoxy floor? My slab is in a floodplain so it always has some humidity, I read in multiple articles that it works well for paint(my original plan before I got all the free epoxy stuff) I’m curious if I should still use the primer or if I should just return it with the other paint supplies. Also it’ll be in a garage that’s going to get wet in the winter, will it be slippery?

The first thing we spray is 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol; this creates cells in the design and disperses the epoxy. Once that evaporates, we mist denatured alcohol to pop micro bubbles. This allows us to avoid torching the epoxy.

If you input your project square footage here, the amount of epoxy and other products you need will automatically be calculated! leggari.com/order-flooring/#hardwood-overlay-kits For floors, you really want to make sure the substrate is prepped well.
