If I have found this video before… just tried to do my kitchen countertops two days ago and the epoxy was inside of the car and we thought that a “hot epoxy” would be a good idea and it would spread better 🥲 so frustrating. Thank you for sharing your mistakes, now I can avoid them when I decide to do the floors 😊

[@MrBruce0777]

Many thanks for sharing. We learn from our mistakes very well. My first pour on counter tops. I Needed one gallon all together for the section I was doing. I learned the hard way not to let epoxy sit to long in large one gallon buckets. I learned to pay strict attention to what the temperature is of the epoxy. I took way to long mixing in my colors it was an exotic dirty pour complex . I mixed for like 12 minutes and stepped out side for 3 more minutes. Came in started pouring and I noticed the bottom of the bucket was ( WOW BUBBLING HOT ) ! loved the first half of the pour from the gallon bucket but the last half from the bucket was like soft putty. Looking back I should have just taken a putty knife and scraped it all off. But nope wife comes home from being out of town for a week and is well lets just say shocked...... I tried to save it and the next day it took me 3 to 4 hours to grind it off....Our next pours were all small mixes do it as fast as possible and pour, small mixes fast and pour. flawless.

Then there was they guy who stole epoxy paint from the painter on the job. He forgot to steal the hardener. The painter then hid the hardener and then a couple of weeks later the general contractor came to him asking if he knew why paint wouldn’t dry in his basement. “ because you’re a thief!!!” Was his answer

[@philipbohi983]

For #9, forgetting to mix A and B: I’ve only done 2 garages DIY (minimal experience)...one was easy, one was big...for the big one since I had to mix 5 batches, I NUMBERED each bottle of A/B before starting to avoid mis-mixing. I was using a 2:1 ratio product, but it came in full gallons, so I had A1.1 and A1.2 to mix with B1, then A2.1 and A2.2 for B2, A3.1 and A3.2 for B3, etc. The first project took 15 gallons total, 10 A and 5 B plus I used pigments in some (both metallics and pearl) and used a mica/glitter in one batch. From the way you described the hell created by not mixing right, that Sharpie marker might have saved a lot of work and expense!

[@chrisc.c52]

I think it's different when you have multiple workers and you expect a little bit of more common-sense from each of them. I'm a professional painter and I also have people working for me and you wouldn't believe what type of mistakes some people make.

Im a Journeyman waterproof whos installed several million sq ft of epoxy flooring,heres a tip for filing cracks in concrete,do not use caulkings,buy several rolls of the yellow polyester fabric used to reinforce plaster & drywall mud,fill the crack with epoxy and put a coat of epoxy 4 inches on each side of the crack,rub the fabric into the fresh epoxy and lightly coat the fabric,come back the next day & your floor cracks will be fixed and never reopen again,you can buy 36" wide rolls of the reinforcement fabric to install between layers of epoxy before top clear coating , we use reinforcement fabric over all heavy forklift traffic floors & the floors never crack & peel.

I had a friend whom I knew since the mid 1960s. His business was commercial epoxy flooring. Most of his work was in abattoir's - various food processing & Manufacturing plants - Commercial kitchens - Bars - food storage and other warehouse areas. Many of these jobs were for Multi-National CORPORATIONS. I do not recall the Resin Manufacturer, however I do recall that the resin was food grade, and manufactured in Germany - also very expensive and came in 50 US gallon drums. I did some sales fro him as English was not his first language. He passed away 8 weeks before 9/11, and I saw him 3 days before he died. Cause of death: Cancer The floors looked magnificent when finished. These Food production CORPORATIONS kept the floors so clean one could eat off of them.

Darn mechanical errors. I found a little secret with adhesion over failed concrete. Cut material in half with solvent so that it impregnate the surface like a fluid. But let it cure before finishing coat. Thanks for video 👍

Working on my own 2.5 car garage applying the Rustoleum rocksolid metallic to the floor. I started it 1 June and will be done by 1 August... 2 month you say? Steady is fast, quick is slow.... I have made some or had a few of these OOPS. My worst OOPS was applying too much holographic glitter into a 2nd box of clear coat. Thanks for showing these, i have an easy relaxing lifestyle for retirement but hate to make mistakes

[@playerbaba]

Great video! Lots of very good information.

[@richardrosenau9292]

Well applied my 2nd coat of blue of 4 single box in 1 bay, added the gold and silver holographic glitter and this time added gold, silver and blue mica and all to 1 plastic cereal spoon per 1 box. As a final touch, i spritzed each of the 4 boxes area with Xylene for a moon crater effect, at 5 min, instant craters, then 45 min steps backwards over each section. It softened up the look. It is also CHAMELEON effect, i took 3 pics at the same place and angle in 10 seconds and the color goes bright blue to gun metal.

[@richardrosenau9292]

Next step is 2 coats of clear coat, 2 boxes each side, each coat. Then done

Don’t use heaters that generate carbon emissions to keep your winter slabs warm while they set up. The tops of the slab will pop due to a chemical reaction that keeps the Portland molecules from properly adhering to each other and the aggregate.

[@dbeaus]

If you are doing commercial work, make sure your supplier and the color blends are exact. We did a floor at a machine shop at US Steel. They wanted the color to match their new machines, kind of a sad yellow. We had never used this color and it made me nervous. I actually didn't want to do it. This was a big deal for them, about 65000 sq Ft. and they were bringing in the big brass to show off their new machine shop. We did our prep, put on the 2 coats with proper drying time, and left. A few days before the machines were installed I got a call form them. They wanted to know when we were going to finish the floor. I said it was done 4 weeks ago. They were not happy. Some of the crew got lazy or the supplier failed. Either way, he said the floor was 4 different shades and looked like a checker board and they weren't paying. I went to see it and they were right. What can you do in 2 days? I don't know if he ever got paid for that.

[@learncoatings-epoxyfloorin9448]

Hey Daniel, thanks for your input, yes color consistency can be a massive issue for some customers. I always recommend to use the same batch for epoxies, because a slight difference in raw materials can change the tone of the color. In two days I would suggest they apply a light roller applied coat to make the floor look uniform

[@dbeaus]

@@learncoatings-epoxyfloorin9448 Well, putting even a light coat on 65K Sq ft is costly and you competitors will not include that in their bids. Probably take at least 2 days and keeping this room cut off in a steel mill was almost impossible. Still, I was the manager of a floor company for 3 years and nothing beats Epoxy for lasting and beauty. Word if caution, watch out for heat. A customer of mine had a meat plant that had to be cleaned every day with 181 Degrees water.We told him epoxy can't handle that kind of heat and he hired someone who said he could do it. After a few weeks it began to fail and the contractor could not be found. That is not a surprise. Totally failed. 75000 sq ft. Also, watch out for bakeries and kitchens, same problem. You folks bidding this kind of work make sure you understand the environment before and after the job. Also, a little more on prep, more problems came from bad prep than anything else.

[@MrJFoster1984]

You can apply on wet substrates if it is a water based epoxy, it actually helps it adhere better.

[@learncoatings-epoxyfloorin9448]

Yes that is true. Many water based epoxies tend to contain water anyway so they will just go and bond to a wet substrate. However it should be just a damp or slightly wet substrate, it should not be attempted with any standing water

Great video. I'll be hoping to pour a clear resin on a timber floor with some posters and ticket memorabilia in my mancave quite soon, I'm unsure with how best to seal the timber though, I'm thinking pva sealer but unsure at the moment if that's the way to go, anyone done this before? If yes I'd appreciate tips.

[@debrajol3585]

Do a seal coat before going all in. Just a light coat and let it cure completely. Wood is so porous that if you don’t start with a seal coat of resin AIR will bubble up thru the resin EVERYWHERE when you go for it all at once and then it’s done. The only way around it is if you know the wood is less than 5 - 10% moisture content.. and you’d need a meter to know. Also, by doing a seal coat 1st it will allow a space for your memorabilia to ‘sit’ just above the wood.. if you just poured resin on and then laid down your pieces they would sink to the bottom finding their level. Unless you’re experienced with timing/waiting on the particular resin you use viscosity, having a cured layer underneath will serve 2 purposes. Depending on what the dimensions are & what resin you use, you could possibly do the 2nd layer in a couple of hours (3 - 4 hours) it needs to be at the stage where you can leave a fingerprint but not sticky enough to pull up strings when you touch it lightly. In both pours a heat gun or torch is necessary to remove air bubbles out at 8- 10 minute intervals for the first half hour.. just waving back & forth at about 6-10 inches you’ll see them popping like magic.

[@debrajol3585]

monkey trousers Also, I find it best to take good copies of my memorabilia and keep the originals, you may need them for another day! Before placing them into the resin have them LAMINATED! Without laminating them they will soak up the liquid and look WETTED & see thru. You can laminate them with simple packing tape.. be sure to extend past the edges a little bit all around ON ALL SIDES SO THE TAPES TOUCH each other and seal burnish with a plastic sharpie edge or something that won’t scratch .. this will keep the resin out. I usually lay down a strip of tape face up & flat and then lay my piece onto it.. then cover it with another piece of tape face down.. then trim with scissors leaving a little overhang all around. It will be invisible in the resin. With larger pieces do several strips of packing tape overlapping slightly .. or buy laminate sheeting. Start with a smaller board to test with and when you know you have everything right go for it! Any other questions or concerns I can assist with, I’d be happy to help ✌️Hope you have great results!

Tiles are notorious for poor bonding. If you apply epoxy on top of peeling paint everything will peel away together! You need to sand the paint, sand the tiles and then coat epoxy

[@annep2693]

I think if the part A & part B get hot while they're in transit, it shouldn't be a big deal. The problem described in the video was that the A&B were very hot when mixed together, which caused the hardener to work too quickly. If the material is cooled down before you use it/mix it, it should be fine.

That is no problem. I regularly ship to countries in the middle East where the goods might spend two weeks in storage under 45 degrees celsius. Just make sure before you apply that they have been put in room temperature for a few days

How do I know if the quality of my concrete is good enough or not?

So, I was wondering if I could get the floor in the cellar coated with epoxy, and the number 7 gave me the answer. In that case, I'll have to find another solution to get the floor into a better shape.

[@iamthatiam44444]

I have same floor and left wet rug on it now its stained chalky white and wont come off, any ideas please!!?? A small stain came off with polish but cant seem to make that happen with larger area.

Lol actually loved the rain effect I know it was a pain to grind out but I actually thought it was cool n would have kept it if I owned the garage

[@learncoatings-epoxyfloorin9448]

Yeah I quite liked the rain effect too. Unfortunately it was for a warehouse. The owners were not into cool designs

Where can I get some primer at my locals store for the epoxy ? I been looking I got the epoxy already

[@learncoatings-epoxyfloorin9448]

Most stores that sell epoxy,should also be selling epoxy primer

[@kevinmorataya1869]

This was really helpful. I apply epoxy in my garage. I have spot that aren’t shiny after I step on it. Could I use something to re-shine or should I apply a second coat?

[@learncoatings-epoxyfloorin9448]

Thank you for your kind words. I doubt if you will manage to shine just one area, and get consistency in the coat. It is best to apply a second coat

Thank you for the heads up!
