I am looking for a VERY shiny finish over the epoxy kit on my garage floor (20'x20'). Will one can give me the desired results? Any recommendations?

Yes, this is the stuff you want to use. I used it on my garage and put it over my rustoleum epoxy shield gray color. I did it almost a year ago and it looks just as shiny as the day I did it. Make sure to use the grit (aluminum oxide) it comes with to mix into the clear coat in the bucket or the floor will be extremely slippery if ever gets even slightly wet. You have to do it within 30 hours (I think) of laying down the primary color or you have to scuff the entire floor for it adhere properly. The instructions will clearly state this. This stuff is extremely durable. I have rolled heavy floor jacks over it and put jack stands on it and it doesn't even get scratched. Any liquids (even harsh ones) just wipe up with a per towel. If you use one can go very heavy on the application or buy two and do two coats over two days. I did one garage with one heavy coat and one garage with two medium coats and the two coats look better than the heavy coat but it also took two cans. You have to have someone with a strong flashlight (wife?) following you and shining it at a very low angle to make sure you overlap edges and don't miss anything.

never tried it but i doubt if any epoxy resin will mix well with any paint. would probably work on floors, but wouldn' t be practical, there are better and much cheaper alternatives

My garage is my man cave. I work on cars and lawn equipment. The only thing that ever effected the epoxy is when brake fluid sat on it overnight. Gasoline,thinners, and oil did not have an effect.

Hello Diego, Yes, but it will depend on your goals. We have some customers that have used this for a dash finish on things like cool pool decks. It will depend allot on the scale of the project. Please call me to talk about your specific goals before you purchase: 800-669-3272. Best regards, Nolan Scheid

I have a vinyl flooring with a shine but I believe this is just a cleaner, no shine to this....I would call armstrong and asked for the facts.

I've used it over time for sealing bath tub wall tile and kitchen counter tile grout lines. I have not noticed any shiny finish after it dries so if I had to choose between gloss or satin, it would be satin.

Yes. it has a slightly tacky side on the bottom of the mat and a light marbled texture on the top. We have epoxy floors at work and they work great, stay in place, and have caused NO discoloring.

I would not recommend that for a garage. It is fairly fragile once applied.

I used the gel stain to re-do the cabinet through out my home. I also used the water based poly as my top coat. It's not very thick. I had to use a few coats to get a good finish. I probably could have used a few more. There was no problem with the product. Just make sure you java gel is good and dry before you apply the poly acrylic

I used this product on an old black slate floor which I had stripped off 35 years of cheap sealant. It does a beautiful job. I then used Miracle Matte to bring out better color. I can 't speak to your exact situation , but it is a wonderful product .

Yes it is, Bry but i'm going to use it on a stock i will design and build. I suggest sanding the paint from all prods, and checking for cracks and air chambers near the glass reinforced plastic (fiberglass). A breaking prod could do permanent damage. I have found imperfections under paint. V these out for more glueing surface area. I recommend West System G-flex epoxy only, for such extreme requirements.

If you want the epoxy to go all the way to the edge of your project then some of it will inevitably run off. It has a high surface tension though so it wont all just fall over the edge like water. Pour it close to the edge and in the middle (like in the picture on the box) and then use something to spread it / push it closer to the edge. In order to get all the way to the edge you will probably end up pushing some off, but most of it should stay on top. I would add that I used the exact amount recommended for my square footage (I think it was 64 oz for 9 sq ft) and I wished I had just a bit more. Also if you have any cracks do a pre seal or seal with some polyurethane first as it will leak through. There are some decent youtube videos demonstrating the proper application process as well.

Yes I've used it on a number of projects and loved the results.I recently tried another brand of polyurethane that was sad to be superb.Not only cheaper but a superior finish,well all I have to say is you get what you pay for.In my opinion Deft beat all around,dries fast,easy clean up,brighter finish.

I waited for a sunny fairly warm Saturday, as you need good direct sun for at least 1 hr. in cold weather. I also ran my vehicle with the defroster on to warm windshield on inside, used a hairdryer to make sure outside glass was dry & warm. I blew out stone pit with air compressor for extra safety. Kit should work well, epoxy hardened is sun OK. I had a problem with a defective pump, otherwise I think it is a great kit to fix a small crack. There is a youtube video that shows all just search blue-star.

I am not certain I would do that. It's an epoxy finish and I don't know if would stick to the first coat. May need to ask someone where you can purchase the product.

Have used googone on my kitchen cabinet, the one near the stove. It tends to get the grease residue. It worked really we' but it is a painted. I don't know about other finishes.

I would suggest watching the installation video here: http://www.garageflooringllc.com/gfllc-video-resources/ For most garage applications adhesive is not suggested and we never suggest double sided tape. I prefer seam tape to join mats together and if I have to use something at the front edge (which typically I do not) I would use the 3M #80 Spray adhesive.
