    I was wondering how you got the inside corners. I've had my fill of removing glues, tile, thin sets over the years. I had a new church job and the concrete was poured in two sections with the split right in the middle of the walkway between where the pews would go, of course the concrete was peaked at the split. Anyway, we hired a concrete grinding company to come in and level out the split. They had a machine that looked like a small zamboni and it got it done in no time. Don't know if the contractor back charged the concrete guys.

That green glue is a release adhesive for carpet tiles, just be glad you didn't have to do the floooring removal too!

    My schools auto shop class is looking to re-do our shop floor. The teacher wants to get it in our schools proud light blue but the administrators want it in flat gray. Do you guys know if there is a light blue floor resin that could be used for this kind of purpose? The floor is far from flat and has no visible joints or cracks. The only reason they want to get the floors re-done is that our school recently got a massive grant to improve our shop classes. Also are you able to work the epoxy around vehicle lifts?

    • @ConcreteFloorSolutions
      @ConcreteFloorSolutions  3 года назад +1

      Yes, we have light blue, most importantly, you must prep the floor correctly or NOTHING will bond. You need to diamond grind the floor first then apply whatever system you are interested in. Solid color: concretefloorsolutions.com/product/500-sq-ft-solid-color-epoxy-floor-kit/
      Or flake: concretefloorsolutions.com/product/500-sq-ft-complete-epoxy-flake-floor-kit/
      Oil stains- saturation will affect adhesion.

    You're giving memories and one bad one lol that's exactly how the floor would look like if you remove any school's carpet and how nasty it looks ( trust me it's nasty when demoing the carpet, all the dirty sand that gets stuck throughout the years will make if feel heavy for a small strip of it). I did this straight out of highschool for 4 years. My bad memory was the blue glue you see is very gummy when it dries and it runny when being applied. Now imagine demoing carpet in a school trailer classroom, the carpet was the thin kind with thus blue gummy glue on a plywood subfloor. You couldn't even tear up a 3inch strip with your bare hands . I had to use pliers the entire demo and I had a nasty blister on my hand
