Renew your Garage Floor:
Looking for an easy and affordable way to fix up your garage? In this video, I'm going to show you how to use the Stone Coats Epoxy Flake Flooring system to give your garage a new look with a little DIY elbow grease. This system is really easy to use and can be done by anyone, even if you have no prior experience. So stay tuned and I'll show you how it's done. The first step is to use a grinder and a diamond blade to widen the cracks in the floor. Remember not to press too hard, just enough to fit some material into the cracks. Make sure to sweep or vacuum dust before moving on to the next step. Next, mix an equal amount of part A and part B of Floor Patch Epoxy Gel until they become one color. Then, use a stiff putty knife to fill the cracks. The gel will be cured and ready for the next step in 4-8 hours. Now, it's time to use a concrete grinder to scratch the concrete slab. Use a hand grinder with a 7-inch diamond cup wheel for the edges and rent a walk-behind floor grinder to do the rest. Clean up all the dust with a vacuum, blower, or broom. Make sure to vacuum under the sheet rock and any small spaces. This will help ensure that when you use the moisture seal epoxy primer, it stays clean. The next step is to mix and apply Moisture Seal Epoxy Primer. Measure out 1-2 ounces per square foot of floor to cover. Thoroughly mix part A before mixing in part B at a 2:1 ratio by volume. Moisture seal epoxy primer has become the industry standard when applying epoxy over concrete. It penetrates like tree roots, creating a tenacious bond to the slab. Mix material for 2-4 minutes with a paint stick or drill and paddle mixer. Once mixed, spread the epoxy primer across the floor in thin lines with the magic trowel squeegee. Use a 1/4'' microfiber roller to roll over it twice, front to back and then side to side. This will give the best results. The next step is to throw out the flake color depending on how much coverage you’d like. For this project I’m going full coverage. Allow the flake and moisture seal epoxy primer to cure for 24 hours. After the epoxy has dried, take a floor scraper, and lightly scrape the floor. After scraping, Get rid of any loose flakes with a broom or blower. Clean up as many of the flakes as possible before applying the top coat. Before using Polyaspartic Topcoat, prep any area that touches the epoxy with tape to avoid getting the topcoat on places you don't want it to. Measure out 1-2 ounces for each square foot of floor. Mix the topcoat with a paint stick or paddle mixer and a drill for 2-4 minutes. If you want it to be less slippery, add in 2 ounces of our non-skid additive for light grit, 3 ounces for medium grit, or 4 ounces for heavy grit for every 1.5 gallon topcoat. Apply the Polyaspartic topcoat with a 1/4'' microfiber roller. Roll it across the floor from left to right and front to back, ensuring an even coating. Once done, take off any tape and make sure there are no high points or piles of flakes before letting it cure for 24-48 hours with a temperature above 65 degrees. And there you have it! Light foot traffic can resume in 24 hours, and you can park your vehicle on the new epoxy floor in 72 hours. Stone Coats Epoxy Floor system is chemical resistant and easy to clean, perfect for your garage floor makeover.

Hey love you guys! Really are awesome.
I do have one question
I need to apply epoxy to my tile floor. But do I really need to fill in the grout lines? Or can I give it like 4-5 hands of primer without filling grout lines? Would really appreciate your help thank you 🙏🏼
Why the flow of video is not going with the voice
Silicosis....Google it!! I REALLY like how you use shop vacs instead of HEPA dust collectors. Completely irresponsible how you don't mention the very possible dangers of concrete dust to viewers. What amateur are you? I would look at other DIY epoxy kits
You are gorgeous, a free bird, passionate, generous, non-conformist, and brilliant. Love your energy. And, wow! - a ten-million-dollar trade with those big blue German eyes brighter than ever before. … would love to hear the story on that macrame piece behind you on the wall. Cheers. Thank you.
This video about applying epoxy to a garage floor is really interesting! It's helpful to see the process broken down step by step, and the results look fantastic. Thanks for sharing!!
I've been waiting for this video since you did the remodel of the other epoxy flooring!! Love it
Full Tutorial drops tomorrow morning!
Yo, baddie
I'll be visiting you guys in a few months. I need to get my garage clear before I start to set up my man cave/work shop/laboratory!
That was the hardest part, moving my junk outta the shop! Let me know if you have any questions
Now, I’m going to do this!
U GOT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for watching us for so long!
Looks great!!!
Thanks for stopping by Michael!
Lemme know if y'all have any questions!!!
What if the floor isn’t completely level? Say a slight angle/ramp, will it flow or self level?
What's it end up running /ft²? High/low range? I need to seal up some cracks in my floor so water quits getting to my rebar.
slight slope is just fine, most garages or shops slop to the front door. The moisture seal goes down real thin so it won't pool up or drain.
For this project I spent $780 on epoxy materials, $300 or so on sundries and concrete grinder rental. I got a quote from a pro for $5,100. It took me 16 hours spread over 4 days
@@StoneCoatCountertops are there some flakes that add texture, I'd like to add to my commercial kitchen, less slipoage
That's awesome...
Thanks for watching, do u have a floor in need of some help?!
We will be putting the polyaspartic top coat on top of our newly poured epoxy floor in the bathroom!
My question is, do you HAVE to roll it out with the roller brush?? or can you pour it out like a flood coat?
Hey Mitch! What do you do if you come back the next day and the plastic has moisture underneath it.?
Hey Mitch what are you doing if the temperature is below 65° and you're doing a garage do you put a heater on
Nice!
Thanks for watching!
best video
Thanks for watching James! Here is the full tutorial czcams.com/video/1cIjZBUf-nk/video.html
Can this be used on concrete? It's for my balcony..
Can you put it over vinyl countertop
Can you coat the wood steps too?
Hey mitch if i have a brand new house do i need to grind the floor if there are no cracks?
Can this be used to cover a concrete walkway outside the house?
Do the top coat cover the same sqf if I used 100% flake coverage instead of the 2% coverage like in the kit? And is it better to do a second coat or not recommended for the 100% flakes option (buying the 55lbs flakes bucket)
looking for a garage 11.5ft x 20ft + side concrete walls 20inchx31.5ft 100% flakes.
Can this be done of fresh concrete?
how long will it last?
is it easy damage by chemical contain alcohol ?
That's a great looking floor. I recently built a shop addition for my woodworking hobby, and I'm wondering how well this would hold up to equipment with wheels for mobility.
It would hold up very well to equipment with wheels. Keep heavy items like that off 72hr to a week then you'll be great. The floor sweeps really nice!
@@StoneCoatCountertops That's really good to hear. I think it would be a nice addition to my shop. I have been following for some time and think you guys are great
If a hot water heater is located in the garage behind a door, does it need to be turned off during this flooring process? And does the epoxy or other components give off harmful fumes that might find there way into the home?
Could you epoxy an in ground pool and the walk way that goes around the pool?
Not the right epoxy for underwater. However, the pool deck beside the pool can be covered with the flake system. Be sure to use the non=skid additive near pools
Tile floor still the best.
I have old vinyl tiles on my floor , which has definitely seen better days! I have been advised to remove these old broken & beat up vinyls tiles or screed over them before laying new vinyl flooring!
If I wanted to put a floor down like this one, should I remove the tiles first, then screed to make it all one level or what would you suggest?
Best practice I would remove the old tiles. Use a PCD cup wheel on a grinder. It's messy but will make quick work of removing the tiles. Use a cement level quick after to quickly smooth and level the slab. Use the level quick bonding primer 1st, roll out a layer and let it dry. Mix the level quick real thin like the instructions. It's almost as thin as water. Let the level quick dry 1-2 days and you're ready for flooring epoxy. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Would this product be appropriate for a bathroom/ shower floor?
Yes! Be sure to use the non-skid additive
Do you have a product that can level a floor before applying the epoxy or can you use leveling concrete under this product can you make a video on how to level the floor before you epoxy it?
We don't sell a cement self leveling compound. Pick that up at the home depot or lowes. They also sell a self leveling bonding primer to put down first to help with adhesion of the self leveler. Allow the cement to dry 24-48 hours before applying the flooring epoxy.
Your product looks fantastic and would love to use it. Unfortunately I have reached out several times through your website to get some information and pricing. I have yet to be contacted. Did you go out of business? I'm confused. The only response I get is that my ticket is closed.
Approx cost per square foot.
Assuming use of full gallons.???
About $1.80 a square foot for all the epoxy, flake, polyaspartic topcoat and non-skid additive. about $300 sundries and concrete grinder rental
What a smart arse 😂
Could I use this to resurface my back deck (8 ft off the ground)?
Yes, use our non-skid additive in the topcoat around the pools for sure. www.stonecoatcountertops.com/diy-flooring-epoxy
What should be used to clean oil stain? My son spilled oil long ago. It’s dry but left a stain. I’m thinking degreaser, sealer or both?
Here is a product I've use in the past to remove oil from a concrete driveway: amzn.to/3o6V9C5
Lemme know if you have any other questions Teresa!
I'd like to do my garage floor, but it is so badly cracked. Instead of small then cracks, think more along the lines of the San Andreas fault. Would I still be able to use your product on my old garage floor?
email me some pictures directly mitch@stonecoatcountertops.com I'd love to steer you in the right direction.
Question - whats up with those special shoes your wearing?
These bad boys keep you steady walking on wet epoxy: amzn.to/3mjjN1O
They sell less expensive ones however, I'm a large dude so I need some beefy spiked shoes!
Can this be used on a wood floor in a work shop?
Yes, absolutely. Epoxy flake floor over wood tutorial coming out soon. Same as the concrete except even more simple no grinding. Patch subfloor with floor patch gel, sand back flat, paint wood with undercoat - 2 coats. now epoxy then flake let cure, scrape, clean then topcoat. Let me know if you have any questions. Here is a link to the full tutorial czcams.com/video/1cIjZBUf-nk/video.html

Do u have to use those flakes? Just not a fan of their look. It reminds me of 70s terrazzo floors.
No, we have a metallic marble flooring epoxy system as well, tutorial drops tomorrow morning!
My back hurts
What the heck. Trading video got switched to this. Hijacked. Doesn’t let me delete my comments.
That looks so unprofessional no offence the steps are there but a few have been missed. Also blowing the flakes out of the garage is going to make a mess and grinding without a vacuum or using a industrial scale concrete vacuum. Also using a blower to blow the dust out wouldn’t stand in my neighbourhood. Just imagine the amount of silica dust your talking in. “Cancer “.
But professionals in return provide you a warranty the product and the elbow grease that will have job finished in 2 days for a average double garage. An epoxy base flakes and Polly aspartic top coat would cost anyone around $700USD without rental of grinder.
Thanks for stopping by and for your feedback. The flakes were blown to the front of the shop, we pulled up the floor covering out front to catch them, then swept them up, there is no silica in our epoxy flakes. We took our industrial, contractor grade flooring epoxy system and re formulated it for the homeowner DIY'er. We removed the chemical's and VOC's, extended the working time so the DIY'er new at flooring epoxy wont have to rush which is why the project will take the homeowner a little longer than the pro material. How does your neighborhood deal with the insane chemical smell while applying your professional flooring epoxy if they are upset about dust? If a DIY'er follows the steps in our tutorial video their floor will be a success and look and last just as long as the contractor making a $3-4 thousand mark-up. There will plenty of customers willing to pay a pro even after I give some confidence and teach a DIY'er how to do it.
