    *Floor Update, Info & Truth bomb:*
    I always try to be as transparent as possible in order to help folks watching my videos. Just like you, I learn new things every day, and sometimes that new information changes the way I think about things. I am NOT sponsored by anyone, I pay for all the materials, equipment, and etc. in all of my videos. So, when I change my mind, it really is coming from me personally.
    The floor is still holding up fine, but who really knows for how long... For those that are curious, these big box store Rustoleum epoxy kits are never going to beat out a professional high solids coating. If you were to compare this kit to a properly installed polyaspartic floor, it would be like using a sheet of 1/2" plywood to stop a .50 cal bullet. No contest! Also, I used a really strong muriatic acid to etch my floor. I did NOT use the small citric acid pouches that came with the kit. The muriatic acid I used was probably orders of magnitude stronger than what came in those pouches. With that being said, there are no acids commercially available that are going to profile the concrete better than using a specifically designed floor grinder, and/or a floor shot blaster.
    These pieces of equipment, if used properly, profile the concrete in such a way that it allows the coating to effectively "bite" into the surface of the substrate creating those microscopic anchor points. Contrary to what some may believe, the first coat installed on the concrete is not a chemical bond, but purely a mechanical one. So, the better the profile, the better the coating will stick to the surface. It really is that simple. To sum it up, you are always going to be better off using a piece of equipment designed to profile concrete over any chemical etching processes.
    If I was going to do this floor all over again, which I may, I would definitely profile the concrete surface with equipment that was specifically designed for that purpose and not bother with acid etching. Then, I would purchase a much better 2-part, high solids, floor coating to go with the same awesome flakes. I just did the math, and it would have actually been cheaper to buy a MUCH better 2-part high solids coating from Colored Epoxies (same place I got the flakes). I could have just as easily installed that coating, saved some $$$, and not be worried about my floor failing at some point.
    TL;DR
    *My recommendations to you DIYers:*
    -Rent the proper flooring equipment to profile and clean the concrete surface
    -Buy a better 2-part high solids floor coating from a reputable supplier [like Colored Epoxies]
    -Ask the supplier specific questions and do a little research on your own
    -Have fun installing your new floor coating!
    Hopefully this was helpful. Cheers!

      Hello, thanks for the video. I have taken your advice on the colored flakes. With you getting the high shine clear coating, was that a choice you made for a higher shine or is that required? It also says in the directions not to use the muriatic acid (i bought it anyway), do you think the supplied crystal acid is just not that good? Pls right back as soon as you can and thanks.

      Quick question... I am looking to do a 47sqm garage floor with this product. Was there enough in the kit to do this? You would have had a lot left over with the smaller space but keen to know if you would think there would be enough.

    This was by far one of the most informative videos I’ve seen. Initially, I had purchased the Rust-Oleum products. After reading your comments, I returned them and bought everything from Colored Epoxies. They were extremely helpful and a pleasure to work with. I received the first shipment the next day and was impressed with the packaging and their attention to detail. I’m still waiting for the chips (I ordered 50 lbs of the same that you used and they are made to order). They should be delivered tomorrow. I plan to do a full broadcast. I rented a grinder and prepped the floor last week. Hope to finish the floor this weekend. Thanks for all of the detailed info in this video!

      @Inner_Sanctum  Год назад +1

      Are you referring to the carpet tiles? For some reason YT has your comment listed under the epoxy floor video.
      I’m not too concerned about spilling fuel on the carpet tiles since they don’t really absorb anything. If I spilled fuel I would just toss a pig mat over it, let it soak up all the fuel, and toss it. Then just let my garage air out like if I spilled on concrete.
      Also, if it’s REALLY bad, I would just pull up the contaminated tiles and replace them with the extras I had leftover.

    • @robevans916
      @robevans916 Год назад

      @@Inner_Sanctum Sorry yes, referring to the carpeted tiles. I was watching all your videos and probably just commented on the wrong one.
      I’ve put off doing something with my garage floor for years because I hear these epoxies are generally garbage, and the one time I applied one in a shop it didn’t last. But the carpet seemed so cheap easy and effective if you can live with the drawbacks that it piqued my interest.

      I’ve done tons of these and as long as you do the plastic moisture test and it shows no moisture I’ve never had the paint fail so no you don’t have to prime you only use their primer over a previously painted surface that has failed the duct tape test.

  • @troyvseverybody5397
    @troyvseverybody5397 2 года назад

    Awesome job. This is actually the best looking floor i've seen so far ) and i have watched a ton of these vids. Question - it thought the acid etching came in the kit. You said you had etched it before you opened the kit. What made you decide to use other. And what exactly did you use. Thats actually the biggest thing i am concerned with. A lot of videos say you absolutely need to use a concrete grinder instead of just acid.

    • @Inner_Sanctum
      @Inner_Sanctum  Год назад

      Apologies, I did not see the notification for this comment.
      The citric acid that comes with the Rustoleum kit just isn't powerful enough to do anything really. I used nearly full strength muriatic acid to etch the concrete, but it is quite caustic to say the least. However, it's orders of magnitude stronger than what comes with the kit. With all that being said, you are never going to beat a properly profiled surface when using a floor scraper, floor grinder, and/or shot blaster. The profile left behind, after using these types of equipment properly, is MUCH more aggressive than anything commercially available acid is going to do. You are always going to have better adhesion characteristics when the concrete surface is profiled more aggressively. The first layer of epoxy is not bonded chemically to the concrete, it is bonded mechanically. So, the more the epoxy has to bite into and create those microscopic anchors, the harder it is going to stick to the substrate.
      Hope this helps. Cheers!

    You mentioned you used epoxy shield before, did it hold up well to tires? I have applied this before and have had tires pull the coating off, coming in from a hot summer day drive. Could have also been an improper application on my part. Looks great though!

    • @Inner_Sanctum
      @Inner_Sanctum  2 года назад +1

      Well, this is what we used at our shop with great success. I have also applied it in a few other places as well. Hot tire pickup is a pretty big concern for me as it gets very hot here in South Texas and long drives can make the tires extra sticky. I haven’t personally had an instance of hot tire pickup with this stuff, which is exactly why I went back to it. I feel like the top coat is a must though.
      I did have an issue with Rock Solid, but I think that may have been my fault in prep, as well as I didn’t use a clear top coat for that particular project.

      That’s a very good question. Nowhere did I see anything regarding UV stability on the packaging. Epoxy resin does have a tendency to yellow over time if it’s not stabilized. The clear top coat is 100% solids, so it “should” resist color change.
      All I have to go on is past experience. We did this to my aunts back patio, in tan, about 2 years ago. The sun hits certain parts directly for about 4 hours a day. As of right now, the patio still looks uniform with no signs of yellowing.
