Floor epoxy ?
Can anyone recommend a good DIY applied floor epoxy ? Will not be used in the living area just in the safe room.

Only advice I got is it's only as good as the prep on the concrete -

Had a friend do floors as a side business. He always used the Sherwin Williams. He did say you have to prep the floor or nothing works well.Comment

From what I understand....EPOXY is a chemical reaction between 2 different chemicals. Some brands advertise as epoxy but actually are paint with a small annount of epoxy added to justify the name. I could be totally wrong in this but it's a big difference in how durable a finished product is.Comment

EPOXY is the breakdown of the coating. as in latex, urethane, oil based, water based. J.B. Weld is a Epoxy. plural component is the strongest. water based latex very low on the scale for say walking on top of.Originally posted by froghunter View PostComment

How many square feet was your garage and how many kits did it take ? That's the one piece of info I can't get from Sherwin Williams .
Had two different people from two different locations give me wildly different coverageComment
