[@JZ-tg1cm]

The grainy finish is very good. They put an aggregate in it so that happens intentionally. It makes is less slippery to walk on when it's wet. so it's a safety feature for oil spills or water and such. Nice job on the floor.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Thanks for the info!

[@BrianJKelly3244]

Great video, very informative and well thought out! I’m surprised you didn’t get the flakes and do a clear top coat, but I get it if that really wasn’t your plan, but at your purchase price point, they offer the kits with the multi coats and colored flakes. Looks amazing and I’d like to see a follow video on how well you liked the coat and it’s durability! Thanks Brian

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Will do Brian. Thanks for the comment. I'm hoping I can apply more product in the future when it starts to get worn out. Hoping it's an easy job too.

[@zfilmmaker]

I’ve done this in two of my buildings and had the same result in one. The sections that are different colors, those spots, tech support told me is caused by the cement being wet and not given enough time to fully dry. I don’t agree, the floor is radiant heated and I had it on to dry quicker. The second building I had the floor polished smooth first and the finish is like a mirror. Nice job on yours though, thanks for sharing!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Thanks for the share of your info, I'm very satisfied with it especially being my first time attempting it.

[@zfilmmaker]

Garage Built Hondas it was a learning experience for me. I also saved about 10k doing it myself, granted my two buildings are much larger (150x200x20 and 150x300x20). However, after a year I’m not to pleased with the longevity. My buildings store ag tractors and equipment and maybe it’s the weight or heavy traffic, I don’t know but the finish has cracked and flaked off in sections. I’m contemplating refinishing or having the floors polished smooth again and sealing them. I do prefer the gloss grey look.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I love the look/color also. Currently my floor is in great shape with a few scratches from my floor jack and jack stands but nothing larger than that. It's pretty much just a storage shed for my cars so I think itll hold up fairly well for a decent amount of time. I'll probably make an updated video this summer to show how its holding up as a lot of people seem to want to see it.

[@zfilmmaker]

Garage Built Hondas yeah I’d like to see that video too. I’m curious to see others experiences. Anyway I have the same problem from floor jacks and jack stands. The reason I said weight or heavy traffic (in/out) maybe cause for failure, I have two sections where I had big hydraulic oil spills, one that sat overnight and there’s no issues where they were.

[@sk8isgr8-888]

zfilmmaker Most of those liquid products will ‘bubble like’ due to too high moisture content in the concrete slab. It is wise to read PDS - product data sheet. They should leave it until next day and install when temperature start dropping down.

[@jimhatfield5381]

Thanks for the video as I am considering different types of flooring for my 3 car garage. Paint is one and the other is the plastic parts you snap together like Lego toys. Unlike many KZbinr you didn't have any music and that was GREAT. This was a learning "class room" experience. Most of the times music disturbes the true experience. You spoke clearly, gave good examples and the video was clear. Great job. I custom made cabinets in our new garage and I am a perfectionist and I don't think I could stand to see the grains, bubbles and blemishes on the floor like your garage ended up with. Perhaps it was the new concrete. I think someone once said for the concrete to be cured the process may take 6 months. I first got the idea of Rustoleum Rock Solid was from watching the Rennch you tube channel. Michael did the same color floor but he didn't show the details of the work like you two did. I think he is renting the house/garage and it looks like the house was built in the late 70's early 80's - at that age you KNOW the concrete is cured :-) His garage was total smooth and shiny...it looked very good. I think you two probably did a better prep job so it must be new concrete vs old concrete for the final results.It sounds like your 1,000' garage is going to be used for storing and perhaps working on cars so maybe you don't care about a super perfect finish; I hope that is the case. I am saying all of this not to be insulting just observations. "A garage without a Porsche is just a dark hole" - Walter Rohrl - Porsche Development

A few tips: 1. U should've gotten a couple pairs of cleats for ur shoes. 2. U should've used a torch to get out the air bubbles. 3. U should've de-shedded the rollers by wrapping ur hands with the sticky side of tape & cleaned the extra fibers off the rollers first. 4. U should've taped down some tarps outside of the garage to keep the dust at bay even when it was all drying.

Thank you

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I don't think so. If you follow their instructions I think you'll be fine. My floor has been pretty roughed up over the last 4 years but I still like the product.

[@japansh]

Great video! What kind of rollers and brooms did you use? There are so many...

I used the included rollers with the kits. And I bought the brooms from Lowe's. They were just some normal larger push brooms that I knew I'd use after this job.

[@JT_70]

I used the same color Rustoleum product on a garage floor about 18 years ago. It came in a gallon can and included colored chips that you sprinkle on the epoxy before it dries. It looked great and was an easy application as long as I moved quickly and did’t let it set up before all of it was applied. My only issue was that eventually the finish didn’t hold up from where hot tires sat on it from our daily drivers. Do you know if the product formula and longevity has changed much over the years?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I am unsure. People still say it has hot tire pickup. We'll see how it does for me.

Its holding up great, but I'm in the desert and it will never see salt. It doesn't snow here and we very rarely see many freezing days here.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

It's held up great. It does have some chips though became it's inevitably dropping tools/parts. That was my goal though to help protect the concrete. I can add another layer in the future to help seal it again.

Your going to need to add 2” the. XPS spray foam the interior surfaces between the framing members or else condensation will occur inside and constantly drip on everything in the garage.

The darker areas are caused by water either on or in the concrete. I have to be careful not to drip sweat onto the floor or it will cause these. Let the floor dry at least two days after etching.

[@warwein6506]

Hey brother, I love your videos, but I do have one question, did the acid etch damage the galvanize finish on the steel framing?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

No it did not.

[@TheJagjr4450]

LAST JUNE (2019) --- I did the rock solid on my NEW floors - I etched with muratic acid then pressure washed - did the residue test and then PRESSURE WASHED AGAIN... waited 3 days and put down the plastic to ensure it was dry - did the residue test then applied the coating - my dad dropped the tractor scrape blade from about 3 feet onto the floor a week later they did not even mar the floor... I have since dropped heavy sharp slabs of steel, jack stands, acids, lacquer thinner and even paint stripper on the floor and it has not damaged the floor or chipped it off... I did my floors half and then the other half... I dropped a blob on the undone half and tried to scrape it up prior to doing that half... with a floor scraper it popped the floated concrete surface with the epoxy blob. You really can't ask for any better adhesion.

[@bradfleet6945]

TheJagjr4450 u

[@Chupta1]

just finished mine - love it so far. i used muriatic acid. I read the instructions and it bold states DO NOT USE M URIATIC Acid" - Hope I'm ok - adding top/clear coat tonight!

[@neubauer6]

I had the same issue with those imperfections in the finish. I called Rust-Oleum and they told me that I mixed it too fast and they were bubbles. I mixed it by hand so I don't that it was too fast. Overall I was happy with it but the imperfections annoy me.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Got it, thanks for that. I feel the same, didn't mix mine too fast either. I'm happy regardless, it's not meant to be pristine looking.

[@chrisbethmann3955]

Broom for heavy stuff, use vacuum for silt, mandatory! A touch of vinegar and water great to neutralize acid as well. Also, much easier to buy muriatic acid liquid and mix in bug sprayer with water, if floor clean you mist on until you see light foaming, now you know it’s etched

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Thanks for the info, all it!

[@Chupta1]

curious why rust oleum tells you in bold letter not to use muriatic acid.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Send an email to rustoleum and see if they give you an answer.

[@chrisbethmann3955]

Drew N they don’t want “mom and pop” using it. It is somewhat dangerous

[@brandongary7649]

Rustoleum also said do not apply concrete etch to the floor with a galvanized frame it will react with it and destroy it when I talked to them just now about my 24x35 I’m building Did you have any issues with metal afterwards?

[@Rambo681]

Just did my basement and it turned out the same as your garage. Little spots here and there, not 💯 satisfied on how it turned out but after all it looks clean and glossy.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Thanks for the info, I like it. I've been using it weekly now and it's a breeze to clean. I've already scratched and chipped some spots but it's still working out well. When it get really bad I'll probably clean it well and then just apply another coating a year or two from now.

[@themechanic6117]

looking great!! did you get an estimate on what a company charges to do that?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I didn't. Someone I know had a 2 car garage completed and it was like $500. I figured this I could do myself and I wanted something that was easily repairable myself by just buying another kit and re-coating any areas I may need to in the future.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

As long as you clean and apply it properly I think it's a great inexpensive way to help protect your flooring and add some life to it.

[@hworkmaniv88]

Those dark grey spots are called "orange peel" in this application it is probably because the etching compound was not completely removed. If you watch several other videos recommend that you etch and then re-wash using a shopvac or renting a floor cleaner to actually remove the water rather than count on the garden hose pushing everything out. Turned out pretty good looking all thing considered. I'm curious how it has held up.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I'm happy with it. It's been around 7 months and I love it. It was inexpensive and I could easily apply another coating when it does get worn and weathered in the future. Skip towards the end of this video, you can get a good look at it in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ7FnHygiqmbitU

[@Tycrx89]

Gotta do something with the floor in my new space, i feel like setting up a garage is so much more time consuming and I’ve been so busy with work it’s hard to find the time to make a video and show my progress. I can’t help but notice that Tahitian green crx 🤤 did you ad any new cars to your collection?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

It really is time consuming setting up a garage. I still have a handful of things I'd like to finish within the next couple of months. I haven't, I've bought/sold a couple for profit lately but nothing I've kept.

[@michaelsalzer4362]

Nice love the look. I think it would be a bit strange at first because it looks completely wet in the video even though it is completely dry

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Thanks, it can be deceiving at first. I was a little skeptical to walk on it. It's much less shiny now as dust/dirt cover it pretty often.

[@lancemclean5700]

now that it has been a number ofmonths, how is the floor holding up?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

It's holding up very well. Go to the last half of this video, you can get a good look at it while we are working on a car. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ7FnHygiqmbitU

[@ssdtrain1]

those "areas" that dried differently are called "Fisheyes" in the painting industry. It's a result of the floor not being prepped as well as the rest that dried consistently.

[@moluesar1]

So basically what you forgot to do or you didn't do it's to let the moisture get out of the concrete before you sealed it that's why you got that results what are you can do if you want it you could do a quicksand and then give another coat

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Interesting. Thanks for that. I thought it would have been. After washing it we did the application 2 days later and our temperature during that time was 90 degrees outside. I had thought the temp would've definitely get the moisture out. Either way, I'm happy. It's getting abused already and its probably not as slippery with the way it turned out. Once it gets really beaten up I'll probably clean it and sand it down and apply another layer of coating, but that might be a few years from now.

[@KingParisBuckingham]

Best acid to etch is liquid muriatic acid. Might have to dilute

[@ELLeeOh]

@12:58 the spots look like sweat drips and the fibers look to-be off the cheep rollers just my two cents But it does look awesome 👍👍from this guy

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

It looks like most jobs with this product have the same finish. The fibers are from the concrete since it was fiber infused for more strength. As for the rollers, those are the included ones from the packet, they are foam and didn't come apart one bit.

[@Skyhawks1979]

Yup. Sweat.

[@MikeWitmerNatureJournal]

Can you update on how well this coating has held up?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I'm going to do a 1 year review in a few months.

[@jimccc9467]

Will that garage blow over with high winds? Do you do something to inside the walls for insulation? You will need ear protection for hard rains. Best of luck.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

No. It's rated for 140mph winds. There's no insulation yet. I've worked in the garage once when it's raining, a random storm rolled through. It's loud but not ear protection loud. If I can help it, I choose not to go outside when it's raining.

[@AZGT350]

I used this stuff about 13 years ago and it looked great for the first 5-7 years and then started to pull up. By the tenth year, it looked pretty bad. Had to have it all sanded off and went with professional epoxy with dual coating. I went with the chips...big mistake. Any time you drop a small screw, but, bolt, nail, it disappears in the chips. Next time I will go solid color.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Thanks for the input! Hoping I get the same amount of longevity that you do.

Looks good, but be prepared for spots to fail, especially, hot tires. Was in the epoxy business, most of my homeowner diy calls were Rustoleum products. SW Amorseal or better yet, Elite Crete is the way to go. Cheers

You said when using the acid, their are instructions to use Golves, protective eye gear and Whatknott, Well I went to 5 Home depot's and 3 Lowe's and none of them carry Whatknott, Can you please tell me where to find it. I don't want to start my project without it 😜

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

They're in the "smarta$$" aisle. 😂

[@ELEVOPR]

@@GarageBuiltHondas Thanks for the info, I usually skip that isle 🤗👊

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Lol

[@allana5930]

You should do the bit outside as well it'll help the concrete not dry out so bad and start cracking

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

The edge in front of the doors?

[@allana5930]

No sorry I was meaning the outside covered area that you made beside your neighbor's house I just know that in BC if you coat the concrete it just helps it last longer so I'm sure in the hot weather it probably be the same way

[@daviddelle774]

I'm thinking the bumps were a result of only etching once. New concrete should be etched twice. But still a nice looking job. I think I'm going to do the same to my garage.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Thanks. It might be, regardless I'm super happy with it!

[@boosted_2j]

Can you help. How do i fix a really sticky shifter. When i shift my gears it takes effort. Like im shifting it through mud. How do i fix that.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Fluid ever changed?

[@boosted_2j]

@@GarageBuiltHondas not as of now. I was told to change it with 10w30?

[@bigfacebigface1218]

@@boosted_2j change your dog ears on the shifting forks or forks themselves.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

What car and transmission?

[@johnderizzo4784]

May i ask , has your coating adhered well, or has the coating lifted with hot tyre pickup?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I haven't had any issues John. It's chipped in a few places from dropping large tools and Jack stands but that's about it.

[@johnderizzo4784]

Ahhh fair enough, from experience i have achieved great adhesion by diamond grinding the surface before painting, downside to that is it can be very exspensive.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Gotcha. I was going for durability and ease of price if I need to add another coating a few years from now.

[@flinch622]

Should have coated that slab before setting structure: the acid will hurt galvanized coating and you are going to get early frame rot. The money you saved on diy is... going back into steel, to save the structure. That package has advice about reactive metals [iron, zinc, aluminum] for a reason. Start saving now

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Well shit. LOL Guess I'll cross that bridge when it comes.

[@ScottBussing]

Good video. Not sure about the part of the floor outside the doors. The product isn't recommended for areas exposed to UV.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Thanks! My building faces away from the sun. Sunlight only hits it after 7pm.

[@ScottBussing]

Garage Built Hondas sounds like you will be fine then. 👍👍

[@spencersgarage]

Those darker spots are where you didn’t put it on thick enough. I have plenty of those on my RockSolid floor.... All the reviews you watched weren’t lying when they said put it on THICK... lol

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Now I know! I'll be able to fill those in the future if I decide I need to re-coat it again when it gets torn up!

[@Skyhawks1979]

Actually its caused by moisture still in the concrete. Cant sweat onto the floor when putting down the product. Let dry at least two days after etching.

[@spencersgarage]

@@Skyhawks1979 I let my floor dry for four days in the Texas summer before applying my garage flooring. It’s caused by not enough product.

[@savvystyle9358]

From a womans point of view, what the hell going on ere.Garage, concrete, brooms/ squeesies.Got yah!! I thought you were applying a sealant to the concrete.What? are you putting in your lovely garage, after you & your dad having a work-out.Just admiring your hard-earned efforts.Brilliant.Even tho! I didn't know what this rustoleum rock solid was meant to do.Like your Vid, learnt something in 2020. Thank you.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Thank you Miriam.

[@joelrangel6620]

Now you need to sand it smooth and apply clear coat sealer and it’s done

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

It's going to get beat up on so I don't want it too pretty. Leaving it this way makes it easy for me to just mop it up, sand it lightly, then add more of this coating if needed in the future.
