A CONTRACTOR TELLS ALL! - EPOXY FLOORS FOR BEGINNERS

Great Video, and thank you for the explanation. 1- What's the life expectancy in a normal house- few kids? 2- What type of tool do you use to clean? Special mop?

[@frankpowell3310]

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.

When you put the 1st sealer coat for outgrowing why did you not score the floor again before pouring the basecoat? Also do you need respirators when applying?

[@waseemahmed2028]

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. Please also accept my gratitude for making such informative and amazing videos.

I just got 3 H&C shield Crete kits, gallon of clear coat and a bag of flakes for free from my neighbor. 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?

[@MilkerOnly]

I have a 250sq ft basement room I want to epoxy, I removed all the tile and started to remove the left over thinset. I got about a quarter removed, was wondering do I need to remove everybit of thinset down to bare concrete or is okay to knock just the high spots down and leave the rest with standard grooves. Will the epoxy fill in the gaps? Or should I use a self leveling concrete on the whole floor first or continue to chisel/grind the thinset down? (So much dust)

[@ЕгорКузнецов-в3ъ]

Good afternoon. Tell me, is it necessary to pass the primer before applying the resin?

Is epoxy permanent? Can it ever be tore back up to the natural cement if someone didn't want it, or is the only option to do another layer and possible design or cement color over the old epoxy. Also can it be textured for no slip?

It can be removed but it is easiest to re-coat over it. Our topcoat has a "grit additive" option that really enhances grip > leggari.com/product/wb-urethane-floor/

I have two questions. Did you say 45 square-foot per gallon so if I'm doing a job over 500 ft.² I need about 12 gallons of epoxy? Also, is it mandatory to sand down my concrete garage floor first or is seal it with a layer of epoxy sufficient?

[@LeggariProducts]

hello! Coverage per a square foot depends on what kind of application you'll be doing. 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. We highly recommend shotblasting the existing surface to ensure that it is porous and a strong bond is established between the floor and product. And yes, we also highly recommend applying a scratched tight seal coat of epoxy before the decorative coat in case of outgassing. If you order a kit from us, we'll send you an instruction video and you can have assistance from our experienced customer service. support.leggari.com/hc/en-us/requests/newGood luck!

Definitely a primer specific to the product you'll be installing over. Our Primer and Epoxy bond extremely well, creating a lasting surface✨leggari.com/product/wb-primer/

[@green6185]

Looks nice and It seems a easy work but the floor may be slippery, espically when it is wet.

[@BhobsonKatie]

Let’s Go! Also, what was the denatured alcohol sprayed on after the highlights? Why was that necessary? Please explain.

[@LeggariProducts]

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.

[@gaylegreene219]

The previous owner of our home painted the garage floor, do we have to remove this paint before we can do epoxy floor

[@LeggariProducts]

Whether or not you have to remove the previous layer depends on its condition. No matter its condition, you want a clean, even surface for either our primer, vapor barrier, or prep replacement primer to go over and bond with. This might require sanding the previous painted surface and leveling it out with a flood coat of epoxy.

[@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.
