To Make a Garage
I plan on also finishing my garage but am waiting til the ambient temperature rises. The epoxy and etching chemicals want to be applied when its 50 degrees(f) or higher. Also need to make sure your floor is extremely clean, no oil marks and the chemical used for that is some potent smelling shiet. My biggest issue is getting the floor clean (not a brand new house) and deciding on a color scheme. |
If you don't have a brand new garage, don't count on the kits that you get at a home improvement store working unless you pay a pro to power wash the floor with acid or etch it first. I tried a DIY and it looked good for about a month. Then it started to peel & flake where the tires make contact. I should have bought one of those kits with the snap together rubber tiles. They are easy to install & look good. I only have a 1 car garage so I'll probably end up doing one of those floors this year.
