My Stepfather owns a company that applied floorcoatings used in ware =
houses, and as a part time job when I was in university I helped on =
weekends.... So I know what I'm talking about...
For high traffic areas we used a two part epoxy made by Tennant, 424 I =
believe was the model designation, The second "part" was actually a =
powder you mixed in for the abrasion resistance. It you want any =
non-skid areas sprinkle some #0 sillica sand when applying the second =
coat (at the end) else change rollers when moving back to the rest of =
the garage.
As for application, well that depends, is the floor currently painted? =
if it is, remove it, we used a terrazzi grinder which used 6 corrundum =
stones to chew the paint up and clean the concrete. This is not =
practicle for the home user. Do your best, spend 90% of your time on =
prep work. a metal scraper and paint remover for stubborn areas may =
work, If it's really stubborn leave it, it must be bonded on good, after =
chipping,scraping, sanding, definately acid wash, the stuff we used was =
Tennant 409 concrete cleaner but any muriatic or hydrochloric acid will =
do. after acid wash (with mop), rinse with lots of water. let dry a =
minimum of 6 hours or overnight (after you've squeegeed off water), more =
if humid and or cold.
remember, prep, prep prep.
we took all the floors down to bare concrete for best bond, because we =
don't mae any money on call backs. If you're going to paint over painted =
floor and not prep rigorusly don't wasteyour money on epoxy, it won't =
stick... I know=20
