Really great job prepping the floor before the epoxy. You did a way better job at this than we did. Even so ours lasted for years and years before starting to fail in spots. Yours should last well beyond that. Also,.Congrats!
@@debrascott8775 thanks so much!! I just knew how angry I would be at myself if I didn’t prep this good. But I’m also glad to hear yours lasted a lot of years!! It’s a really great product I’ve been reading Thankyou!! We are so happy she’s here ❤️❤️❤️
I love watching all of your projects, you're amazing! Im in the process of convincing my husband to do cement steps into our yard. Congratulations on your new addition!!
Thanks so much!! I’m glad to inspire you 💪🏽 I love hearing it. you can definitely do it. Best part is you just do one at a time. It allows for you to correct any errors as you go
Fill the control joints with silicone sealant, if they're deep use a foam backer rod and squeeze it into the joint about 1/2" from the surface before sealing so you're not spending a fortune on silicone. Don't use products that shrink or aren't flexible e.g. grout, epoxy, polyurethane etc.... Those control joints will move a tiny amount on a daily basis i.e. open/close and grout etc.. won't be able to handle the movement.
@@Deano.1978 Thankyou so much! That’s a great tip. I haven’t filled them yet but I plan to. I didn’t know control joints move daily I thought it was just to hope it cracks there if it settles enough. Learn something new everyday!
Acid etch is good but NOT used alone as a prep. You MUST concrete grind the floor. Step 2: Concrete Grind the floor. Step 3: Concrete Grind the floor. Step 4: Concrete Grind the floor. THEN?, Apply the primer, apply the epoxy & chips, &!then the clear-coat. Did I mention that you should Concrete Grind the floor?. Please, Concrete Grind the floor. Don’t forget: Concrete Grind the floor. Pro-Tip: Concrete Grind the floor.
Lol you skip the most important prep- grinding the floor, etching is not good at all and please use PPE for yourself/ baby- those chemicals are no joke for babies 😁✌️
