Looking to do this for the first time and felt relieved when I saw you had a tutorial on this. As always excellent explanation and Thank you!
Thanks for actually providing a thorough explanation and demonstraion. So many of the pro videos on this topic are only about selling something. When we hobbyists see a video by you we can rest assured that were going to learn what we need to. 😎👍
I am so thankful for you!
Great training. Learned a lot. Thanks for sharing
Very informative and helpful. Excellent
Right when I'm about to start a massive project you release a video with very helpful information. Thanks man that's awesome.
Great video! I am getting ready to take on my garage floor that is very far from being in as good condition as that concrete floor. I know I will have to brush oil spots and grind uneven parts. This video helped a lot!
I also wanted to say thanks for the slip in verses! Awesome!
10 hrs ago I did my garage. Used rust oleum. I power washed first, paint stained etc. then I used acid, I used a hard bristled brush to work in the acid. Worked great.. then I rinsed. Floor is still perfect..
Great video .. thanks Chris 🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏽
Great work😁
Great videos all the time. Have you had any issues with the acid runoff onto your driveway? Will cause staining on the driveway?
God bless you brother
Love your videos! Will do ours in two weeks
Good luck!!
Curious how to handle the cabinets in some of the places. The first where you did you bid you didnt mention if you paint around or remove or have the customer remove them. The second, do you do anything to keep the acid and the water from flowing into the cabinets on the right side and destroying them? Most builder grade cabinetry around here is coated mdf and isnt always installed to the spec so the bottom lip could be exposed particle board, wouldnt that wick up the acid + water and cause some warping? Or is this where you have the caulking come into play and lay a bead around that stuff first?
Very helpful,
I do epoxy flooring for a living. You need to grind the floor then clean with DA. acid washing is the DIY way, diamond Grinding and you have 20+ yrs. also you use 100% resin so nothing evaporates and you keep the mil you put it on at. Also top coat in polyaspartic because epoxy isn’t uv stable. But most important is diamond grinding.
I’d say if he’s been doing it for 22 years and hasn’t had 1 call back his method is just as tried and true as yours.
@@nicholasummel7867 ya I guess that’s what he says gotta believe it. I’m just going by the books. My old man has been doing it 38 years just epoxy flooring not paint with some epoxy, retiring this year. Just putting it out there. I redo acid etched floors with water based “resin” all the time here in New England. Sometimes they don’t call back the same guy, they call someone else to fix it redo it whatever… stay safe
He’s a painter for 22 years he hasn’t been strictly dropping floors everyday for that long. He’s done a handful during his painting career Do enough of them wrong he will get a call back. Maybe a commercial kitchen auto shop will not hold up. Made this video because it’s becoming popular. Lol. He don’t moisture test, hardness test just nothing with code here.
Don’t you notice he has one or two videos about epoxy amongst years of painting videos and your thinking he does these all the time for 22 years…. Cmon he’s a great painter and has great ideas but this is not how to pour resin flooring. Not when your giving a 10 year warranty.
Does the floor grinding apply to new concrete floors or skip that step?
My favorite part of videos like these are the before and after shots. At least the after shot, best part of any project is taking it all in when finished.
What is it that keeps getting shown in the overlay that’s been blurred out??
would you be able to add shark grip to the clear coat instead of the epoxy? you would want the shark grip to be on the very top part right???
How long do you you let the adic sit for good etching?
How fast does the Tile Clad HS dry. Time between paint and flakes .
Thank you for sharing your work. Very informative.
My garage floor is previously painted. Do I need to remove old paint before doing epoxy flooring?? 🤷♀️
Bead Blast
So how many days total and what size crew? I’m considering expanding into doing this aspect?
Wow , my dad something similar in the late 60s torganol?
What clearcoat you put on top of the flakes?
Many concrete garage or basement floors are not suited to this epoxy coating. You will discover that although the slab does not show moisture coming through it when you test it, it may very well have significant moisture at another season of the year. I no longer do epoxy floors for this reason.

hi and thank you for all the info! I'm a potter moving into a studio space that is new concrete. I want a floor that is easy to mop up clay dust. I won't be moving heavy equipment around other than a few rolling carts/shelves, and shouldn't be leaking crazy chemicals into the floor (other than ceramic glaze occasionally that can be wiped/mopped up). Looking for any recommendations. Epoxy? full 2 coats? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
Tile Clad high solids
Tip use a good rough push broom to scrub floor.Never power wash inside like this blows water and acid residue all over everything.Just use hose and rinse .
Can you clarify the acid/water ratio, please?
Any special precautions or potential problems with doing this on a new floor, like a brand new house, just completed? Thanks, really nice detail and organized process! Really great!!
Must sand
Ive been seeing everyone use quick patch, or cement to fill those cracks... As someone as new as can be in this business any insight would be freaking amazing!
I have a customer that wants to switch from pro industrial paint to epoxy on their garage floor. I have one worry, there is a drain in the middle with a pretty severe dip around it. The customer wants to do it anyway and wants the dip to stay for drainage. Have you ever run into this problem? Is this even do able? I have been searching for a tutorial about this but all of them are on completely flat floors with no drains. Any help will be much appreciated. Ill buy a few Paint Life shirts if you can get back to me.
What brand of epoxy is it that you use?
I wish we had a guy like him in Las Vegas!
Thanks
This project took 8 gallons 4 gallons first coat and 4 gallons second coat ?
can i epoxy over an already epoxied concrete floor? what steps change or what added steps do I need? thanks in advance. excellent video!
You have to sand well
Will this acid kill grass?
My garage floor was just screeded with a 10mm screed. Do I need to etch it and prime it before putting on epoxy?
Yes for sure. You leveled it but it needs grinding still.
One year ago we have painted our garage for didn't realize that we had to clean it or et hnow the paint is coming up is there any way to remove the paint or does the mechanic acid clean it enough for the new paint to adhere
Bead blast it
Man I’ve been doing epoxy floors since February of this year and it is definitely quite the process to be able to prep and get everything right. I much prefer painting.
But there is so much more money in it. I had a painting company and recently turned it to epoxy flooring. Epoxy Express. Profit margins are huge compared to painting. And to buy all that equipment protects its from everyone just doing it. The equipment is close to 15k total. The trade is growing like 30% per year. Stay safe bud! I do countertops and floors garage, kitchen anything it goes over everything except plastic.
How long did you let the first coat cure? Before you applied the 2nd coat
1 day
Do you ever epoxy driveways? I’m curious if there is an epoxy which holds up to UV light.
Polyaspartic holds up to UV.
What about a clear tip coat? Is t that required? We are about to redo ours and I think it peeled partially because the way the painter did it originally. There was no top coat. The new ones we see have a nice top coat.
No
If I use rust oleum to fill in big chips in the concrete can I still use muriatic acid on top of the rust oleum?
What product are you referring to?
@@Idahopainter thank you for replying 🙏🏼 I was going to use rust-oleum concrete patch and repair to fill in a half inch deep hole. Do you recommend first using the acid, then patching the holes?
How long after the power washing can I go ahead and start epoxy
Depends on many factors
Did you not neutralize the acid after rinsing?
Yep
Thank you...I think I have it...My biggest worry is hot tire marks and slippery...I was glad to see the shark grip. Thank you...for your detailed video...Now, can you come to Texas to do my 3 1/2 car garage and and my 2 porches?
Excuse me, What part of Texas are you in?
Why didn't you show the finished floor? Can u run the epoxy under the garage door as long as u let it dry completely b4 letting the door sit on it?
Not under the door
Why don't you have the garage door come down on the epoxy coating? It seems it would help create a better weather seal. Also, do the color flecks sink down into the second coat and leave a smooth finish? Thank you, loved the video!
They settle a bit but you need to clear coat over the top of them.
How many square feet does that are Maciel 8100 cover? Per gallon?
Your using shermax in your video that green tube of caulking is shermax from sherwin williams not the same of what your saying to use
Now its a terrible product
✌🏽
Hey dairy farmer here I what to do this the my milk house can it handle chemical every day
I enjoyed your scripture I looked it up Proverbs 28:6 However I would have seen the finished product
#CaulkAllTheThings :p
DO NOT ACID WASH. Please have a professional contractor with the correct equipment to prep your floor. Acid Wash is not suitable prep for industrial grade coatings
missed a spot. 😏
Should be using an epoxy based crack filler. Or urathane. Xylene to thin Man this video is crazy Don’t let the epoxy sit past pot life. Clean five gallon bucket. Not an old peeled one. 2nd coat shouldn’t be epoxy it should be poly. Still a kind of “resin”
Please don’t tell people this information.. prep is key and what you are teaching is NOT correct.. Acid does not work.. grinding or shot blasting is the only way to prep surface..
Your painting videos are great and informative
