Protect a Garage Floor Epoxy Concrete

There are few better ways to quickly add resale value to your home floor, as the application of epoxy paint on your concrete garage. Will not only add an aesthetic value that your garage is distinguished from the rest, but adds an additional level of protection and offers a high level of care for cleaning up spills, abrasion and dirt. The best part is, this is something you do at a very low price. You can often find kits nearby$ 60, which is worth it, after completing the task. Before you begin, you should write the basic process before you find something that you do not want to decide later on after acquired.

The following instructions apply to the use of epoxy cement, a garage for the land, which currently does not have an existing coating. It 's also a general list of recommendations for the process of someone who had made it. We recommend Always read the instructions supplied with the product before applying the lining - is absolutely fundamental, as all products can vary slightly.

Before applying the epoxy, there is a bit 'of preparatory work and testing, you need to do. Remove all clutter from the first sweep of the garage, and empty and clean, according to all the dust and dirt. Once finished, you should find out if you have a seal on the garage floor. Unfortunately, epoxy floor> Paint does not bond well to a bottom that has an existing garage Seal - once you pull into a car, has faced rip off the right (often called hot-tire pick-up). Fortunately, the test is simple. Tube only slightly down on the garage and look at where beads. When it absorbs all without beads, you're clear to go ahead. If beads in different sectors, is likely to build because of fat or oil. You can scrub it with Simple Green or any otherheavy duty degreaser. If beads evenly over the garage floor, you will unfortunately have to grind it all with some heavy machinery. I recommend hiring a professional, unless you know what you are doing.

Hose down the surface and check lists again. If you are clear to go ahead. Next, you need acid etchings on the surface of epoxy resin to give something to grip. If you have a garage, take a liter of hydrochloric acid from the hardware store and mix in alarge bucket with water to form a ratio of 10:1 acid. This stuff is bad, cover the walls with a plastic sheet, and pour the mixture acid on the floor. I also recommend wearing goggles and gloves when using hydrochloric acid. Apply with a broom on the floor evenly in all, you rinse and repeat the process.

Ok, you're done with the preparatory work, and that is the hard part. What you need to do now is all that apply epoxy paint concretethe ground. The best results, I recommend completing this within 48 hours after the incision, so plan ahead if you need. If you decide on an epoxy resin, mix together the two parts and put it down. Most of the mixtures are cured in full within 4-12 hours to plan, I know, at completion, as soon as possible (not being a slob, but is likely a permanent mess on your hands) have. Although it depends on the product, I recommend an extension bar and a roller with a nap is not greater than 8.3 to meet. "Thestandard size for a roller 9 ", but if you have a large surface, you may consider a 18" knock out to make it faster.

That's it! A final recommendation - special attention to the label when you go to the surface. You do not want to have all your efforts in vain.
