New floor w/2 low spots approx 6' in diameter x 1/4" deep at center. Should I use patch or layers of epoxy to level before epoxying entire floor?

Very expensive to patch. I would patch then apply Epoxy to entire floor. I attempted to plug a 1 inch deep hole on the side of my porch. Wish I had fix the hole with quick drying concrete, then applied the Epoxy

The patch is thick and will not flow. A 6 foot low spot will probably have to stay.

I would pop a chalk line, or pencil a line where the threshold will go, and scuff or "key" the surface a little for better adhesion. Liquid nail is pretty good stuff, but a little prep is always a good idea. Remember, you aren't hanging off of it, it is on the floor and only down pressure is in effect. You should be okay.

I assume you have the clear side down towards the floor.You can purchase some double sided tape (3M is a good brand) at the hardware store and it should work fine and not ruin the hardwood surface.You probably only need a half dozen one inch strips to do the job.Buy the thinnest thickness and try that first.

I did not feel that this stain gave me enough dimension. I personally nixed the DIY thing and hired my Epoxy floors out. I do not regret it they look amazing and for the fuss it would have been to get the desired look.... it just wasn't worth it. We ended up paying 1400 $ for 650 sq. feet!

The kit has two 6 ounce containers of the epoxy that you mix together, which gives you the equivalent of 22 cubic inches. This would only cover 108 square inches about 1/4 inch thick. They also sell the epoxy separately in pint and quart containers. The 2 pints would cover 108 sq inches about 1/2 inches thick.

It is made to go over the Rust-Oleum floor coating to act as a gloss and a to protect the epoxy. It is definitely worth putting on over the floor coating.

itook up my old floor. after I got half of it down the pattern on top started to peel off,i I had to take that up and put down all new flooring . I wouldn't recommend putting this down. test one piece first ,see if it peels off. I hope I helped.

I used liquid nails to fasten mine around a rock hearth where the laminate flooring butted up against the rocks. i'm sure you could use a 16 gauge finish nail also.

You dont have to strip the floor first, however if you have a lot of wax build-up the new wax "may" not adhere as well as it could. I have used it over multiple layers with no problem yet.

After I lowered the garage door and penciled on the floor where the threshold should go then I used "Henry 547" to level the area where the rubber lays. I then smoothed out the area with a quick once-over with a grinder and masonry wheel before I glued the threshold down. To answer your question, you should have a relatively smooth hard surface to glue to for the threshold to work properly. The Henry sets up quick and can be worked in a couple hours.

Yup, almost any thickness of sub-floor/flooring is fine: elec box is adjustable. The hole is square in shape with rounded off corners (about 3/4" radius), Template is included. For tools we used an oscilating multi-tool and roto-zip for corners. A jig saw probably would work but use masking tape over flooring to protect and stop tearing of wood flooring.

Hmmmmm. I haven't used it yet as am planning to replace some flooring soon.sorry...... I would call Skil's customer service for a good answer to that question.

1 1/4 " is what I used. Check w/ the manufacturer of the flooring (they usually tell you on their website). Good luck!!

This is a self leveling product. It thins during the curing process and becomes runny so a border would be needed to contain it. I haven't used it at a thickness greater than 1/8th inch so don't know how it would respond thicker than that.

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.

NO, use a good quality Epoxy Stain.. If the floor is cured concrete, cure time is usually one to two years or more.

I would suggest you buy the bare floor attachement, also I'd check setting and filtering
