Epoxy Floor Kit – Good Full Kit – Gray Base with Gray Blend Flake – Covers 500 sq. ft. at 9.7 mils Thickness – Ideal for Garage, Basement, Concrete Floors, and More

I did a month of research before committing to this kit. You will spend twice the price on this kit compared to the ones in the big box home improvement stores but it is worth the investment. This is a high quality epoxy rated for 20+ years. if you get a cheaper kit you will see it wear off and flake in a few short years. Those kits contain water sometimes and this kit is 100% epoxy. The kit comes with just about everything you need. In addition, I would recommend: Paint roller, shoes you will throw away, plastic mat or dedicated area to mix, drill to attach to the included mixing attachment, and gloves. The seller is great. She was very accommodating and allowed me to pick my own color flake chips. Installation took about 4 hours by myself. I did not need to grind the concrete as it was a new house and didn't have any stains or residue on it. I did the acid wash that comes with the kit though which preps the surface. Everyone comments about how great the floor looks. It's easy on the feet and a breeze to clean up. 1 year update: We are approaching one year with my floor being installed. I continue to be impressed. There is no peeling or wear anywhere on the floor. We park the cars on it every day. I have spilled oil on it and other chemicals, but they all wipe up like water. There is not even a stain where the oil was. I have even waited a couple weeks with oil on the floor before cleaning it up, it wiped right up. If there is one thing i regret, it's using the optional gripping salt that comes with the kit. It gives the floor some grab when you're walking on it, but it makes it a little harder to clean, kinda like wiping a fine grain sandpaper. ----- Two and a half years later, there is no peeling or staining. Very easy to clean! Still extremely satisfied!

This is the second time I’ve used Epoxy-Coat for a garage floor coating. The first time was my own garage, and this time was for my neighbor. For someone with little to no experience, it was pretty easy to apply to a two car garage. My only advice is to do some research on how to apply it. First off, I absolutely could not do it on my own. The exothermic reaction that occurs when you mix the two-part epoxy happens fairly quick, so we needed one person to pour and spread while the other rolled it out with the paint roller. By the time we were at the end of the project the epoxy was thick and more difficult to spread, so speed is important. Other than that, make sure to use the acid solution the day before to clean the surface. I found a leaf blower very useful to dry the concrete surface after rinsing. The floor was completely dry the next day. My only complaint (not enough to remove any stars) is that the squeegee included in the kit is really small. I ended up getting a 24-inch heavy duty squeegee with a broom handle, which worked really well to spread the epoxy. Also, you might want to invest in the spiked shoes. If you accidentally (or intentionally) walk through the wet epoxy your shoes/shoe covers will stick and mess up the coating. Overall though, I definitely give this product 5 stars. It’s MUCH cheaper than getting the garage floor professionally done. As long as you don’t mind some minor DIY flaws (some bubbles, missed spots, etc.) this will probably save you at least a couple thousand dollars over hiring a contractor.

I used this product for my garage floor and bought the taupe color which came out great. It really adheres to the floor really well and is non slip, non skid and is water resistant. This kit has everything you need but the only thing I wish would be able to choose different flake colors. Overall good product.

Purchased (2x) 500 sq. ft. - Products arrived in 2 - 5 gallon buckets both containing 2 smaller buckets inside each one; larger 2 gallon marked 'A' and a 2nd 1 gallon also marked 'A', along with a 4 LB bag of white flakes. Both contained what I believe now was just black paint. The result for mixing these now, as I hoped they were just mislabeled, is a sticky residue all over our basement floor that will not dry no matter how much time or heat has been applied. *Review posted 80+ hours after application.

The product The product (resin) is great, it looks amazing.

I am in the process of still applying so I can not attest to durability issues and, of course, they are quite important. I can say this so far: My less than 400 sf garage is 2/3 coated and I am out of material which they said would cover 500 sf. Still. I realize that how you apply it, especially using a squeegee makes a big difference and apparently i applied it heavily. The squeegee is too small and there is no handle supplied for it. But, it works. I have ordered another half kit and spent an additional two hundred dollars. I was quite concerned before application that the tools would be unusable after applying the first section, since they say you have 20 minutes to work, but for whatever reason the brush (very cheap) and other tools keep working. I think the directions are intimidating although I can see the obvious attempt to make the user aware of how important the prep and mixing are. Reading the warrantee I can see that they are pretty much saying just about every problem that may arise will not be the fault of the product. Customer service is a lady who seems annoyed when you call. I think she may be the entire "tech support" department. Bubbles have started to form as I watch it dry. They say use a blower to remove bubbles, but of course they didn't form until I was too far away to reach them with a blower. Hope it lasts but I have always had this feeling that concrete wasn't really made to be coated with anything, except maybe a clear sealer of some sort, unless it is interior, and then you don't really need epoxy. Hope this product proves me wrong, at least for my garage. Update: Still waiting for additional product and they say it will be picked up by UPS today, three days after ordering, so I don't think they have their act together. Meanwhile my garage is in disarray waiting to be finished. On a positive note, the part I already applied looks pretty good. It dried well and really covered a lot of imperfections, so the heavy application surely helped with that. It is a dramatic difference. Still, the measuring stick is inadequate. The instructions are incomplete. I have created my own measuring apparatus for the second batch. The aluminum oxide is very hard to disperse with any accuracy and is a real challenge to gauge how much to toss and where is has landed. I'm glad it is a garage floor and I don't plan to entertain there. I will try to update after some time to address durability issues. Longest review I have written. Update redux: 2nd batch arrived and was plenty to cover the balance with some left for touch up. It matched the first batch almost perfectly and I may be the only one who knows where the two applications come together. Bottom line: My floor was really rough and I had patched it repeatedly. The extra heavy application I used cost me coverage but it also did an amazing job of covering imperfections. Bubbles were the the most troubling part in the end as they cannot be prevented and cannot be controlled. There were too many to sand and touch up, BUT it is a garage floor and it still looks 100 times better than it did before. One last note: I don 't know how you sand an epoxy floor with aluminum oxide embedded in it. It is tougher than the sand paper. Grinding would be the only way. The end. (I hope)

Absolutely love this product!! When I tell you this is good quality it really is. Plus for the price you can’t beat it. I was able to complete the project in 2.5 hours. In total it took me 5 days. Day 1: I washed the floor with Zep Concrete cleaner. Day2: Next day I etched with dry lock and let dry Day 3: Next day I etched with the solution provided with the kit and let dry Day 4: I caulked cracks and let dry Day 5: I laid epoxy When people say the prep is the most important part they are not kidding. Don’t be lazy with this process! I feel like the prep made it so much easier and the epoxy looks and feels very durable. Also the tip about hitting the flakes on the ceiling gives a perfect even spread. I was able to apply the epoxy in two batches and didn’t have any issues with it setting fast. I live in South Georgia where it is always hot and humid. I did it earlier in the morning when it wasn’t too hot to make sure I had time to work the product about 70 degrees or so outside. If you can apply in the morning do so.

After getting all prepared and ready to begin, I had to run get a neighbor to open the big container which I could not manage. He left and I easily opened and stirred bucket A. For all my effort I could not open bucket B. Frantically punched holes in the lid with a screwdriver and tried to get the contents to drip into the large bucket. This attempt was extremely messy and difficult. (Must state, I had a broken arm at the time so was not able to handle things at my best.) Anyway, covering the floor was easy and looks beautiful. BUT now I fear it may not dry properly because the mixture was not perfectly prepared. Will put on the spiked shoes today and check it.
