| Message: | | Have a 5 year old pretty decent 3 car garage floor. Bought a UCI double packe, two bottles of Fleck and AF Gloss sealer. Also bought U patch and cleaning kit. Soaked w/ water and cleaned "slick" areas from tire shiners and oil with UCI degreaser. Washed a second time then rinsed. Etched with 4/1 water/muriatic acid. Rinsed. Etched a 2nd time (I don't want to ever have to do this over!!! and the secret is surface preparation) Rinsed. Appplied base coat with the bonding solution. Let dry 8 hours then patched small cracks and pock marks. Made mistake of putting anti skid aluminum sand on half and it was a pain to smooth the crack repair material. Did't put the sand on second half until 2nd coat. Did second coat (color coat and broadcast two bottles of flecks. Dried 24 hours and then gloss coated. Dry to the touch in 10 hours but not driving on yet. Will probably wait 3 or 4 days. Love the texture and the finish so far. Looks like a quality produut. Kits came with EVERYTHING except acid. Includes stir sticks, edging brushes, safety glasses, mini tarp to work on etc. Not cheap, just over $600 for all materials and shipping. I think it was worth it. Originally was going to use race deck but decided to try this first due to $2K cost on race deck. Now I like this better. I highly recommend the product but just like in painting a car, preparation is everything. My garage was about 540 sq feet and kit said it would cover 576 sq feet. I used it all except for a bit of the clear. The color coats are water based and the clear is solvent based.
