Shipping Container EPOXY Floor (How To)

Making the container livable step 1...How to epoxy a shipping container floor.

Thank you for the video very informative. How long should I wait before adding another coat & how would I add tiles or vinyl flooring on top of it?

Kind of difficult for me to answer that. I live in the south...VERY HUMID HERE! With that being said, I waited about 3-4 hours between coats. It was still a tad bit tacky...not bad though. As far as flooring, I'd do the kind that snap together. They come with a mat...then flooring snaps together on top. Super easy, pretty cheap, and fast. We have vinyl wood looking flooring in our house. Love it. Hope this helped and I appreciate the view and comments. Any more questions...just ask! Take care

First off, i appreciate that! it is Seal Krete Epoxy-Seal 1 part for concrete and garage floor. I can't remember what I paid...but it's selling for around $48 (as of 4-17-2024). Look back at around 1:36 in the video. I believe that's when I discuss it. Thanks again...hope this helps

I searched for an epoxy finish for my container. All I found were products that said they were for concrete, not wood and metal. Went with varnish.

From my understanding, as long as it will seal in the chemicals, that should be good.
