What do do you think about cement based self levelling compounds? Instead of grinding surface, first vacum clean, then apply acrylic water based primer, than cement self leveling compound (compressive strength above 20MPa), and after curing, epoxy primer, semi coat and finish coat? Thank You.
I always recommend at least one quick overall grind. You want the grinder to remove those peaks that are sticking out higher than the rest of the floor. Self leveling cements are great if you need a leveling solution without increasing floor height significantly. But by removing those peaks in the floor you will probably save yourself a few bags of self leveling compound. Also after the self leveling compound has cured give it a light sanding before priming for better adhesion
Very informative, thank you. I was wondering if there are arrowhead expansion joints on a concrete decking around the perimeter of an inground pool, can these be covered with a rubber-feel epoxy? I feel that covering them will, with time, make the plastic arrowheads "pop" up.
Any person that wants to get involved in epoxy (even for a small sized project) will spend far more than the cost of the course. They need to spend money on equipment, tools, primers coatings etc.
@@learncoatings-epoxyfloorin9448 also if you get with any local distribution companies they have free training classes where you can do a floor hands on etc etc. You guys are asking way too much money for these private classes. I understand how much the equipment costs lol
I think you are referring on this video to Control Joints not Expansion Joints.

You need to charge monthly for the school. 200 is a lot of money.

@@learncoatings-epoxyfloorin9448 and they should get with local professionals and not learn on youtube. That's how shit shows happen.
