HI Guys,

I was very apprehensive about taking on this task.

Researched it comprehensively and was still left a little confused so eventually took the plunge and decided to do it anyway.

If you think you are going to do it in a weekend think again, allow at least 1 week and take your time.

Things you might need:

Epoxy Application-
Paint Roller Tray
270mm Roller with 12-16mm Nap
50-75mm Brush
Heavy Duty Roller Pole
Drop Sheet
Painters Tape
10-15lt Bucket

Floor/Concrete Preperation-
Metal Scrapper
9"Grinder
Flexovit 100x16mm Stripping Ripper Grinding Disc
[ Ссылка ]
Vac for Dust Extraction
Blower
High Pressure water Cleaner
Squeegee(Not Essential)
Watering Can

Industrial Grinder with Dust Extraction (Recommended)

Polyfilla Interior And Exterior Large Cracks Filler (For Concrete Cracks)
[ Ссылка ]

Safety Gear-
Safety Glasses
Propper Dust Mask for Concrete Dust
Gloves
Ear Muffs

1st decision was what product and brand to go for and in the end I decided to go for Dy-Mark Epoxy Coat, again mixed reviews about the product but I feel human error and possibly poor preperation may have been why people were having issues.

2nd decision was how to get the paint that wa son the concrete off, decided to use 9" grinder and that was a big mistake. Not from the persepctive of taking a long time and being a bit of hard work but the fact the dust in created was unbearable even with safety gear and it can kill you so dont do it. Hire an industrial concrete grinder or get some in as you need to get the paint off or he epoxy wont bond properly with the concrete.

Make sure you acid wash the concrete (comes in the kit) and then wash it thoughroughly and let it dry. Once its dry continue to sweep, vac or even use a blower to blow out the dust until its absolutely clean.

Thats all I'll cover off here, simply watch the video.

Any questions just yell out.

Thanks

Dave
