[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Would you do a floor project?

[@leifcatt]

Could you work in gold for that gold streaked marble look you have done in the past on countertops? What about acid staining on the concrete? Could you do a clear coat and the a top coat on something like that? The floor looked great!

[@heathroush5343]

I thought about doing epoxy for my kitchen area.

[@janicebillingsley1287]

That looks so beautiful! I might try doing black marble looking for my basement floor. Luv ur shiny high gloss looks! Maybe add some green for more color! Luv ur videos!!!!!

[@Kylelark]

Did the concrete floor get sanded at all or cracks filled or anything?

[@jacobsill9051]

I’d love to pour more floors with SCC. Just waiting on kits to be back in stock. Need 4 15 gallon kits.

[@mfamus2272]

I like the gloss look. Not to fond of a dull look finish 😊

[@markmac9586]

Ive watched so many epoxy flooring videis and this is the only 1 that has been understandabke or goid instructional Thanks!

[@quistfamilyfun3950]

That project was soo much fun. Folks its really that easy-to-use. It was my first time working with flooring epoxy. I walk on that floor everyday and still can't belive how amazing it turned out. Thanks Mike for the training.

[@funnypeoplerule]

WOW thanks for letting us know that!!!! How cool!

[@Unknown74658]

Is it slippery?! My mother has bad footing and I’m hoping this would be a good option if it’s not too slippery like tile floors

[@alexandermaybry1534]

She shouldnt have any issues with epoxy. Its like really hard plastic.@@Unknown74658

[@Iam_JustGee]

Love how simple this was I’ve watch videos with too many steps… moving into a new house and I’m definitely going to try to do this DIY lol.

[@alvinjohnson2402]

You guys are Godsends! Never, ever in my life would've thought epoxy could do this beautiful and almost magical work!

[@mitzi81758]

I actually loved it with that high gloss do you have to put a tap coat or can you put a tap coat with something else that shows it shiny and glossy? Also I was wondering what it cost to do that?

[@blazenu6514]

I think you would just go over it with the epoxy but without color

[@Jose-rq1ig]

Top coat is mandatory as a protective layer if you want a high quality epoxy floor. However, you can pick different top coats. High gloss or no gloss, and they both work the same way. You roll them on white and they dry clear.

[@hauntavirus0732]

They have a gloss ultimate top coat if you like that gloss look

[@JohnSmith-ix9xd]

I was thinking the exact same thing. I love the gloss look.

[@douglassamuel9731]

I would never gave it a dull coat, the gloss was so beautiful.

[@cedrictate7129]

Looks nice, but I liked the shiny black before the top coat was added better.

[@JJJJJVVVVVLLLLL]

before the white marbling

[@audustwoman4665]

Sooooo...Mike.this is where the last of the flooring epoxy went!!!! I have had 2 kits on back order for weeks! 😃🤣💙

[@dollmm23]

Wow, amazing! Great job, guys. I would've not dare do such a big surface. You guys rock! Thank you for taking us along. I enjoyed it.

[@mikelastmanstanding6078]

Yes! I’m the first to see this amazing floor being put down!

[@MikeQuist-]

Awesome!

[@danaparsonsliquidcosmosart2669]

crosses everything that UK will be able to get stonecoat soon

[@isfbuster6733]

Yeah im in the uk and it looks amazing doesn't it

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

Curious, is it still slippery? Also, you didn't use a dry roller with this project like you do on the counters? Did you use the same roller all the way through?

[@jimmiecalvert3572]

Do you have an option of a Matt or flat or shiny sealer I thought it looked great when it was shiny

[@24logz87]

They have a gloss top coat option. They used their matte in this video

[@syncitycom7772]

Metallic dust glittering in the camera. Beautiful job.

[@victornedamo2883]

we can use the regular paint brush and roller paint brush, we can can buy local hardward and also we can use regular primer paint for concrete and plywood for example for undercoat before apply the epoxy resin

[@muhsinekaya947]

Aa harika bir zemin kaplama epoxy ile mucize ler yaratıyorsunuz elerinize emeğinize sağlık bir sonraki vidyoyu sabırsızlıkla bekliyoruz 👌👏👏😎

[@odilonflores8874]

I admire his work can’t wait to do it my self on my new home it’s not the best but I will try

[@corrickc]

One of your better videos! I like how smooth your flow and transitions are.

[@BUDSBEAU]

i love the floor coatings, BUT, i like the really shiny look over the dull finish.

[@norcross26]

Yea thats an amazing house lol. I actually like the shiny floor more then the dull look. But awesome job.

[@suzi4226]

Could you do a step-by-step tutorial on how to do a wood sub floor epoxy finish? My husband and I are interested in doing our sunroom, but have not seen any start to finish projects on wood. Over tile or concrete there are several.

[@bekind4329]

Beautiful...can't wait to try this. Did my basement floor (have since moved) about 20 years ago with a completely different product. It ended up being sharp and I had to sand the whole floor. Took forever lol

[@funnypeoplerule]

OMG sharp? We are about to do our kitchen and I am terrified lol

[@bekind4329]

@@funnypeoplerule Good luck, I am sure it will turn out great.

[@ChristinaWelch]

Amazing and I'd like that whole downstairs for a studio........lol

[@zivafoxx5622]

I have watched other companies videos on floors and they make it seem like so much product has to be used and u guys make it look like less product is used which makes I so much cost effective and less man power.

[@jerimow8400]

Beautiful job! That is one gigantic house!

[@douglaspalermo5053]

Yea ! I liked the shiny coat !!

[@arta_lfearta_lfe3135]

Does your epoxy bond without having to mechanical grind, shotblast, or acid etch? If so can you tell me the exact product you’re using? I do tons of floors in Denver, but I’ve never found anything that would bond without grinding shot blasting or acid etching it first!! I would have been there 2 extra days on the prep

[@PabloDamonte]

I’m from Denver and looking to epoxy my fiancés tattoo studio ourselves…..took up the tile and carpet, diamond grinded it but still have good bit of glue left. From what I see, it’s super important to get that glue off before we start. Is that so? And would the shot last be better?

[@eldorado111]

​@@PabloDamonteglue definitely has to come off.. I know that much. Also the concrete could have curing agaents sprayed on top which is also an issue..

[@roberthansen2008]

That really looks sharp. I like that.

[@MrPeter924]

Awesome great cleaning. Great show. 👍

[@concernedkid3262]

this is great. Although the shiny look is pretty, its not practical at all, so I understand and agree with the matte finish😁

[@daysdesigns]

Sure wish we could get the Ultimate Topcoat!!

[@Shredder22044]

Why was the concrete not diamond grinded or shot blasted first ?

[@eddierodriguez418]

I was wondering that myself not even acid edged at least

[@johndoe6032]

Probably because it looks like brand new raw concrete

[@HENSLEYDMB]

Did you not grind the floor first?

[@businessman5894]

They took a short cut to avoid cost and labor hahahah

[@alambe7275]

If they decided to cut corners and skip steps, then this paint job will probably start peeling up

[@dncprncss]

Great magic trowel technique at 3:50 - 4:25

[@teeteecorner]

I liked it before the top coat but it’s beautiful

[@MrJermishere]

Is the top coat a must? I really liked it better before. Also I think adding a chart at the end comparing the price of laminate, carpet, and other options vs stonecoat could really sell the product.

[@funnypeoplerule]

GREAT IDEA

[@JoudaniMaria]

You guys made a basement look and feel like a lobby. 😂 This floor looks beautiful.

[@davidgray347]

Looks awesome. Now i know what im doing with the laundry side of my basement.

[@ToddBizCoach]

How come you did not grind the surface first?

[@CHUMUJUJU]

floor looked grinded and patched. they probably just didnt include it in the video

[@tonyceci8237]

looked better with the gloss, good video

[@Rain-Orca]

Hard work but definitely easier than insulation and construction.

[@Oomaarte]

This is so beautiful. Do you train. Like onsite training. I would really love to learn

[@stephaniebowers2696]

I loved the high gloss!!

[@rebeccaveasey1603]

I want to create a bathroom decor that makes the entire room appear to be under the sea, from floor to ceiling. I want to create a floor that replicates the ocean floor, sand, seashells, crabs, starfish, and etc. I know that I should start with a base paint. But, after that should I glue down a thin layer of sand and the small creatures that I want on the seabed, then pure the epoxy over it all or should I mix the epoxy with the sand, trowel in the sand waves as I put down the epoxy/sand, and then place the small creatures? Of course I would need to pure the top coat of epoxy and go through all of the finishing steps. Can you think of a better way to create what I am planning to attempt? Also, can the epoxy be pure on a floor with a heating system?

[@MrBenescarment]

Wow! Great work, im considering doing this in my garage.

[@sexymonkey4979]

My understanding is the final coat be it gloss or matte is also applied with a squeegee and rolled

[@yrre7]

would you say this is easier and better than installing vinyl planks? Also thinking of applying this to my ground-floor concrete. Does the floor need to be 100% level?

[@r.764]

can you please share the details of products used in the description or some sort of link that can help.

[@solidsoldier9021]

GREETINGS SOLDIER, BRUCE FROM DETROIT MICHIGAN, I THINK I GOT THIS, THANKS 4 THE VIDEOS 🙂

[@MaitlandDarragh]

What sealer coat and finish would you use for a concrete floor in a food processing plant?

[@sergiomocru]

Hola, no nivelastes el suelo? O al comprobar vistes que estaba nivelado? Yo tengo problemas al hacer los diseños se ve las marcas de hacia donde cae la resina por inclinación.... O al aplicar las capas tan finas esquivas esos problemas? Gracias un saludo, me encanta vuestro trabajo

[@drawwithpetrena]

Gloss all the way

[@kyrailwilliams8698]

No criticism only a question, why do you guys opt out of grinding the surface before applying the material? I install polyaspartic coatings and this is a massive step for our process. Again, I’m really only curious. Thank you. 0:31

[@jamesmackin7193]

Awesome video.👍🏼 But you should wear a dust mask, and a respirator.

[@rockyesterline7942]

I liked the. G l o s s Look better I'm going to epoxy speckle. My 3 car garage today. I prepped it all up 4 days ago.

[@williamnikolic224]

this looks amazing, well done

[@bethleipert9028]

I’d love to do this in several rooms of our house but the floors are uneven. How do you recommend leveling the floors to prep for this product?

[@galliogarcia]

Use self leveling compound. There are lots of video on KZbin

[@dustintinsley3899]

Ordered enough to do 2000sq ft. Can't wait till it gets delivered.

[@justinechavez6699]

Where did you order from? 😊

[@porkyfedwell]

Looked great until you put the top coat on.

[@buttabaebee]

Fun fact, epoxy flooring added to your home raises the price value! BOOM !!!

[@SasquatchTX]

Can this be done over typical wood subfloor?

[@JJJJJVVVVVLLLLL]

Yeah that is my question as well… does this work on underlayment

[@timfoil2319]

Maybe it’s different in person but I like the high shine gloss look better

[@shoyrushoyru]

I feel like the camera is probably picking up the matte glare off the floor more than you would in person maybe

[@Luke11ify]

The inspector just standing there, menacingly 🤣

[@tinahoward6348]

Quinn, my epoxy is a tiny bit more viscous than this video shows. My house is about 10°F cooler than the 79° mentioned in the videos. I would call this a house paint or cream viscosity, not water-like. Maybe the temperature is part of the problem. Your commentary on this is appreciated.

[@johndoe6032]

There’s some big sections of very white blobs I would not be able to live with. Given how the rest looks I wonder what happened in those spots.

[@alambe7275]

I agree the finished product looks faded and unbalanced. The black metallic look great. They should’ve left it like that.

[@amenaabdel9616]

Can I do this in my kitchen over slate & what products did you use?!

[@harrelltackett3681]

My question is how dose epoxy floors do with a wood burning stove? Do they melt? I’m looking at doing this in a new build.

[@RG-yf3uj]

Great job & beautiful color selection. Been wanting to do this for so long.

[@chrisrichardson8908]

Did you do that all at once or did you break it up room by room ,how many days did it take

[@ronaldalexisbarreracardena6513]

Hello, what is the name of the product that you applied at the end to give it a matte effect?

[@plutoniumchaser]

Can clear polyaspartic be installed directly to concrete.?

[@jenhart6649]

Looks better without the top coat.. in my opinion

[@chadhaddix9475]

It looks nice and shiny before you put the top coat on where you going for more of that dull look?

[@james1467]

I like it, beautiful work. My question, is there a semi gloss?

[@garrisondavidw]

I'm looking at doing a black epoxy floor in a store and the owner wants it to be shiny. I've got 39 years experience in flooring including finishing wood floors. I've never done epoxy floors but I believe I can handle it. Any tips you can give on installation would be appreciated. Also, what is the going sf charge for labor only? I'm in Nashville, TN.

[@RobotechII]

Any idea when the flooring epoxy will be back in stock? I've been waiting for quite a bit, would love to finish my bathroom with it.

[@kyarakll4os7]

I love your work. Always looks great. I have a question though, would the epoxy flex? For instance, the relief cuts in the concrete floor is meant to reduce cracking. By covering the relief cuts with epoxy ( in the event the concrete contracts and expands) would the epoxy flex with the concrete slab?

[@Catlovers52]

Prior to your top protective coat, it was looking very shinny, can you keep that shine with a top coat?

[@josephromero1596]

What’s the soonest we could apply 2 coat ?

[@malakenz7565]

it looked good until he applied top coat

[@The16june76]

I love your show

[@racheltitsworth7713]

Can this be done on a outside covered porch?

[@Yonicolaa]

Can this be done on fiberglass or pvc shower floors?

[@dianesantacqua5225]

Hi everyone, can epoxy glue good for crafting with ceramic objects?

[@alhernandez5929]

Thank you for sharing. Not a fan of the matte look after the top coat, took away the metallic look - was that intentional?

[@jeh966]

Looks good to me

[@davidwright8093]

Is the top coat self-leveling, just roll it on ? Same epoxy material? And is it semi gloss or matte? It looks a bit duller than the base coat. Also, what product do you recommend? On Amazon? Very well done work and video. You are a great teacher! Thanks!

[@jasminecope-chisolm5409]

Hi,,,Is something like this more expensive than tiling the floors?

[@joisealdrich9244]

Aww is that must be why there's no ultimate top coat to purchase lol. Looks good 👍

[@icwrat1]

At 4000sqft what was the cost ?

[@travisg1759]

Based on the prices on the site and some quick math, it come out to around $10,000USD. But they have 15 gallon kits that aren't listed on the site so that might bring it down a bit.

[@davehunt5824]

I have a layer of cinder block on top of my concrete how do i epoxy that to match my floor drywall only goes down to top of the block then notches down to floor

[@alt3034]

Do I have to put a top coat? I wanted to leave my floor with a gloss finish.

[@hustle100]

Just curious as to why you don’t wear spikes shoes?

[@diegocalles991]

Is this product suitable for outdoors, how does it stand up to UV

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Our flooring epoxy is specially made for outdoors! Our new line comes out April 11th!

[@bnapora]

Beautiful

[@caribbeanstyle7270]

When water fall on floor can u slip n fall easily?

Do you have to sand floor 1st?

What were all the material used may I please get a picture and the coding

[@amberheywood2603]

Have you seen the black epoxy floors with the glitter? I wish you could do a sample board see if it really comes out that rainbow perfect.

[@boujimobbin9530]

So can you leave it glossy? I love the high gloss!
