Rustoleum suggests using there etch system for the system. I choose the seal krete etch and clean at 1:1 ratio. Worked pefectly... just follow directions but change the ratios......and clean clean clean....

Putty knife and a hammer would work great. Just put the putty knife between the concrete and plastic and hammer it in to remove the adhesive.

Using the template included (helps to tape all templates together as one piece), drill holes the width of the mounting pins with a concrete drill bit (helps if you have a hammerdrill feature on your drill). Squeeze fast-cure exterior silicone caulk into the hole (may use a flat toothpick to get it in) and then press the numbers in (with pins already attached to numbers).

You need to scuff the surface with a scotchbrite pad, remove all the grease with a tac rag, then apply createx base coat sealer - white or black. leave 24 hours, come back, and clear coat it. wait 24 hours, come back, scuff it with the pad again and remove all the dust etc, paint your design, clear coat it 3-4 coats, leave 24 hours. voila!

No, you need a wet cutter bit to do that, They are costly so you may want to check out the tile supply outlets or a rental yard.

I just used some construction adhesive and put some clear caulking around. It worked great.

2" deep is a huge amount to fill with this product. It is for thin skim or filling of thin cracks. For your application I would wet the area with water and then use a PVA concrete adhesive such as Sikalatex on the recess. When it is still wet use regular concrete mix just a little more water than usual to allow it bed in properly and keep the fill about 1/16" below the garage floor surface. After it has dried for a week or so then you can use a thin coat of this epoxy to level out the filled area and feather it into the surrounding area. You can even sand it a little after it dries for 24 hours... 2" deep is a huge amount to fill with this product. It is for thin skim or filling of thin cracks.

Yes, it etches the floor, but I did not notice any difference in the tile appearance.

You don't. It almost looks etched. Would have to paint over it or sand it off.

A hacksaw works well. Use KY or silicone spray to lube as you push it on door after cutting Good product!

Yes, but you will need to make sure the garage surface is free of any oil or any type of residue. It will also be an advantage to feather sand the floor to break the sheen of the current coating to give our sealer a "mechanical" bond or anchor to ensure adhesion. After cleaning the floor, you can rent a rotary (slow speed) floor sander with about 80-100 grit sand paper. Just make sure the sheen on the floor has no shine. Hope this help, EnduraCoat

use a nice piece of 1 X 4 or smaller and stain or paint it and attach it to the bar letting it stick out enough to cover the unfinished edges. This is what I did and looks nice.

You have a problem. Ideally you would repour the garage floor, but that is not practical. Depending on how much of the floor is settled, you might use a top coat cement that comes premixed. The other option is a rubber or vinyl sill that glues to the cement floor. These are not great options. I would try the top coat cement first. Cement doesn't cost that much. Sorry I don't have better alternatives.

No. If anything were to get caught between the roller and the floor, it could etch it.

I was using this in my basement, I did two coats of the basement epoxy in grey with the flakes, then put a coat of clear down, then topped with a sanded coat of the clear. From what it says you can use it as a top coat or a sanded coat. It does not come with the acid etch solution. I did not etch the basement, just made sure there was no sealer on the cement.

I bought a chalk pencil and outlined where the window and other bits go on the mat and then cut it with scissors. Simple stuff. Hope this helps.

I applied my epoxy on a new, unpainted floor. I followed the directions, specifically, a lot of washing and then an acid treatment. Results were great, but you need to work quickly. The less time that the "edges" (of the area you are applying) dry, the better, more seamless it looks. I also used a double amount of crystals to give it an better look. Good luck.
