Resurfacing an Old Concrete Floor

[@jerryperez8679]

Wow! Definitely one of the best new videos out there right now. What was used to skim the concrete twice?

[@columbusepoxyflooring7400]

Thank you! We used 100% solids Epoxy for the patch and primer. We did also mix some concrete dust with the Epoxy to give it some color, because if you install most epoxies too thick they will look white.

@@columbusepoxyflooring7400 Did you mix fine sand as well?

[@columbusepoxyflooring7400]

@@iMdb8Official Not in the video. You can mix sand in the material to help fill deeper voids. You'll have to regrind the patchwork though since the surface will be rough.

This looks great! I’m wanting to do this in a basement. What tools and materials were used? I’m not sure where to begin!

[@columbusepoxyflooring7400]

The most important part is always the prep. You'll want to get a hold of a diamond grinder to grind the concrete and open up the pores, this will help to bring out the color in the concrete and allow the coating to bond. I would focus most of your research on the prep side as that will take most of your time and is the most important step. We used a 100% solids epoxy primer and high wear urethane top coat in this video. If you are interested in purchasing material please let me know and I'd be happy to get you what you'd need.

Great result! how did you tackle the oil stains to one stick and blend them for the final result? Amazing vids! keep up the great work!

[@columbusepoxyflooring7400]

Oil is more difficult to deal with and in many cases you can't entirely get rid of it. We had to have the concrete degreased before we started the project, but still had to grind the floor multiple times to remove as much of the oil staining as possible. After you coat the concrete the oil stains generally blend pretty well thankfully.

Great video. What grits did you use?

[@columbusepoxyflooring7400]

We started out aggressively with 16 grit to remove a bunch of contaminants and other coatings. We switched over to 30 grit just to tighten up the surface. Sometimes we'll even go up further to a 70 grit depending on the coatings we're applying and condition of the concrete.

What mixture did you use to fill voids?

[@columbusepoxyflooring7400]

We just used 100% solids epoxy for this project
