Coloredepoxies 10002 Clear Epoxy Resin Coating 100% Solids, High Gloss For Garage Floors, Basements, Concrete and Plywood. 3 Gallon Kit.

Very bright easy to spply

I started with a very poorly Finished garage floor concrete slab. Lots of cracks and waves. I used floor grinder and filled some of cracks with epoxy from a tube. After talking with a very helpful rep at Coloredepoxies they suggested mixing their epoxy with thin set make a paste for the cracks. My garage is approx 650 sq ft and I used two three gallon kits of dark grey epoxy. Many hours of prep work, but only 4 hours to apply the epoxy (not including the clean up) with a 9 inch roller. I mixed the two kits separately and had time to go over the areas which needed more because of some of the cracks were showing up. Also I purchased very helpful spiked shoes to be able to walk on the curing epoxy. Temp was about 70 degrees F. The only problem was many small bubbles formed in the surface while curing. These bubbles popped before curing was complete, some left small craters in the finish. Not a big deal, and not very noticeable. I think these were the result the epoxy displacing air pockets in the concrete and would not happened if I had used an epoxy first coat clear primmer. The overall result is a very even, durable and good looking garage floor.

Extremely happy with the results. I’m a DIY’ing mom of 6 and my husband is not a handyman/construction type person so I do a lot of remodeling around our house myself. It was my first time doing epoxy but after watching the guys who laid our epoxy in our basement do it and asking them a lot of questions along the way, I decided I would try it myself. I did a lot of research on different products for a couple weeks before deciding on coloredepoxies.com. I knew I didn’t want to use one of the Rustoleum kits from the home improvement stores. I knew I wanted a professional grade product like the one used by epoxy professionals in our basement. So after much research, I went with this product. I found the prices were reasonable, the coverage was good and I felt confident with their reviews and information they provide on their website. I like the fact that they would sell to me even though I’m not a contractor and I am thrilled with the results. Our garage is 580 ft.² I purchased two kits of the white epoxy, so a total of 6 gallons, the prep work was extensive. It took about a week for me to clean the floors, cement patch and cracks, grind the patches down, then acid etch the floor using muriatic acid and then our power washer. Once dry, I laid the first coat by pouring it out. I quickly realized that using a squeegee and being able to cover the entire area was not gonna happen with one kit so I grabbed a 9in Wooster epoxy glide roller and started rolling out the epoxy after I squeegeed it and spread it across the floor as much as I could. This was my base coat that I had down and there was some translucency where I could see some color of the floor through it but I knew that would be quickly covered with the second coat so I didn’t worry. 24hrs later I applied the second coat which also was very thick and difficult to spread using just the squeegee so I rolled that out as well after pouring it on the floor. I had to work quickly because it does start to set pretty fast the following day it looked great and was dry to walk on but I knew that because I used white I would need to apply a polyeurethane coating over the epoxy so that I wouldn’t get any ambering from the elements so I used a product from PPG called PSX700. It’s a polyeurethane/epoxy hybrid that is considered a Siloxane coating. 24 hours later I applied my first coat of that in the same way I did the epoxy and then 36 hours after that, I applied a second coat of the PSX700 just because I wanted to get a good thick coverage that will hopefully last a lifetime. It’s been a week since the first coat went down and I haven’t parked my car in the garage yet but will in a couple more days. Everything else is moved back in my garage. I accidentally dropped my drill from a 10ft ladder and it hit the floor and chipped it just a hair and I was so mad at myself but surprised it wasn’t worse given that it had only been a couple days and it’s not fully cured yet. I’m going to wait and hope it doesn’t get worse or Continue to chip before repairing it. I attached photos for reference and hope this review is found useful for anyone considering this product. I highly recommend.

Very pleasent company to deal withI mis-fingered my color choice when purchased, and bought the wrong colorColorpoxies refunded me right awayNext I purchased 3-gals of their clear epoxyI was apprehensive about trying to do-it-myself so I called the company with a few more questionsThen presto, it came out beautiful, My floor looks like it's newThe epoxy melted level, and even Sealed like a rockI'm very happy,I can't say enough about this company, and product
