I did a bit of research and read through the various threads here about floor coatings but I don't recall anyone mentioning POR-15's product : http://www.stoprust.net/Floor-Coatings-p-1-c-30.html -
I ran into it on a thread on corvetteforum.com (amazingly enough, they were talking about actually WORKING on their cars int he garage and not discussing which floor would resist staining from an accidental spill of their favourite car wax (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). It looks like its only been out a few months but so far it seems ot be getting some pretty good reviews so far. Its a tad more expensive than 2 part expoxy. I've got about 800sq ft to cover. According to ucoatit.com its just shy of $700 for their 2 part expoy with a clearcoat top and I'd need 2 of the 400sqft kits from of the POR-15 stuff which is $1010 THoughts / Comments? - Nick |

My garage floor is complete crap. The top surface it continually comming off as white dust and I'd love to be able to fix it with a coating. One of my neighbors tried one of the Lowes floor coatings and it came back up in about 3 months.
Does anyone out there have experience with something that would work in this case, or do I need to re-pour the whole garage floor. TIA and sorry for the minor thread hijack Nick (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Jason S. |

From the reading I've done, you should be able to use one of the industrial epoxy coatings or POR-15. There were a few discussions on a few threads about concrete being too soft. If I recall right, the recommendation for a couple of vendors was to apply a chemical that helps the concrete set and harden up. It was specifically for older concrete that had not hardened up (yet). I may have one of those threads saved on my machine at home, I'll check this evening.. - Nick |
