We put industrial epoxy (I forget which) over a US penny floor in our kitchen. I was too cheap to buy those expensive shoes for a one-time project. I took dollar store flip-flops, traced around them on a piece of scrap plywood, cut out the shapes with a jigsaw, then attached the flip-flops to the wood with leftover drywall screws through the foam, pointy end to the floor. I made one pair for myself, and one for my husband. They worked a treat and cost $2 total instead of $100/pair.
Why go throgh all the trouble of attaching the plywood? Could have just used the $1 flip flops and tossed them afterwards.
@@AA-zq1sx the screws won't hold in cheap foam flip flops, and we didn't want to lose our shoes in the middle of the epoxy pour.
Great idea, thanks for sharing
@@master6676 you're welcome!
They are about $12
Dude thank you so much. Being a young homeowner no one wants to give me solid advice or help because they think I’m some stupid kid. CZcamsrs like you keep my home in a great looking space and can’t wait to have these in my shed!
Glad it helped! Good luck with all your projects and congrats on the home!
@@AndrewThronImprovements how much did it cost ya? Thanks!
Hey also a young home owner and I just wanted to say killer video, and super informative. Not to mention funny lol #flakefree
Metallic Epoxy looks great when u put it down but a year later it looks like crap unless u buff it and maintain it, it’s not very durable
I'm a grandmother, CZcams is my go to for everything
I've been on epoxy binge for the past few days. Of all the different ones, your design outcomes are top notch! Thanks for posting this!
Appreciate it!
No one explained like this guy wow he’s too good
Glad it was helpful!
Great job Andrew. Wow! Your shed is nice enough to live in! Very detailed instructions too, and i'm sure this will help a lot of folks apply epoxy! It's super easy and so fun! Can't wait to see your next video!
Thanks! I am super happy with how it turned out! Appreciate your help and thanks for watching!
Dont you have facebook? I would like to discuss on facebook messager about the colors for the dining room in spring. Thank you.
Would love to know how its holding up, Great video thanks for the help!
Same
High quality DIY project video for sure. Good job. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!!!
Excellent tutorial, and very much appreciated. I'm using Spartan products over a 290 sq ft OSB floor in my woodshop and if anyone's interested I can speak to getting that material ready for epoxy. (Plot spoiler: I wish I had plywood instead. But you work with what you got.). Before anything else I used Spartan CF100 crack filler for any gaps between sheets and countersunk nails (should have been screws, but I learned that too late). Spartan recommends applying KILZ2 (not 3, for whatever reason) before laying down the Flex. Needed two gallons.
Next the Flex, which I had trouble spreading out and distributing evenly maybe because I didn't have a rubber notched squeegee, only a notched metal one for concrete...useless. So regular straight edge rubber is what I used. **One thing you might want to stress is how much time you have to spread the stuff before it starts to set and becomes super viscous.** Don't dilly-dally. I barely made it. Also, Spartan indicated one gallon would be enough to cover my 290 sq ft but in hindsight I wish I'd had two. It's good enough, I guess.
I'm applying the WB primer today. Will let you know how the rest of the project goes. BTW I'm not doing metallic, just the flake "cast" as they call it mixed in with the Clear. Also adding a can of Spartan's non-skid. At this time I'm not planning on HPU top coat. Will let you know how it goes. Total cost of Spartan materials: about $1000 (2024). Not cheap, but good.
Absolutely incredible video, hit every point without dragging anything out. 10/10 Boss. 👍
Appreciate it bro!
That's exactly the same color and look of my Leggari counter tops we did a couple of years ago. Looks awesome.
Thanks!
I watched so many videos on applying epoxy an yours is the most user friendly I’ve seen 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching and good luck with your project!
Most definitely!
Dude!!!.....I'm into the 1st minute of this and I already love it....YES!!!
Appreciate it!
You just made the coolest shed .. 😎 my kids would want me to make it their cottage its so good looking!!
Thank you for sharing your valuable information.
may do this in my bathrooms and kitchen in my renovation property looks great
Great Job, I have to say I enjoy watching your content and learning
Thanks Hugo! Appreciate it!
Nice video and results! I would recommend using construction paper along the perimeter with the tape to protect the walls. But overall you did a great job on this floor! 🥰💚✨
I watch many tutorials and For me you're the best thank you for teaching us ❤❤..
You guys do it faster every time. Love your shed.
Thanks Patrick! Appreciate you 🙏🙏
Awesome well done this tutorial help me with what I was looking for. Thank you so much buddy.
That shed is amazing,
I was so creative in my childhood trailer with particle board flooring! The carpet was gone by 2003 and you already know I was on a budget living there Han solo!
This is SUPER COOL MIGHT DO MY BEDROOMS WHEN I I GET BACK HOME
Great explanation made it seem so simple great work done 👏🏽 🔥🔥
Appreciate it!
Thanks Andrew, cool floor!
This is not something I would ever do - looks very expensive and complicated! But wow, this was one of the most incredibly satisfying videos I have ever watched! Thanks for sharing!
Really he just showed you step by step lol
It's cheaper than 99¢ 12x12 stick on tile and is waterproof as well as more durable and easy to repair. Remember that stick on tile has to follow the arrow on the bottom so any cuts take up a whole tile and the rest is useless or the pattern doesn't match.
@@tomharrell9575 I agree the epoxy has way more value but from the pricing from the link he has shows a little over $500 for the kit to do 150sqft. you could do laminate for that price let alone pretty much any stick on tile for far less.
@@indymodz177 stick-on flooring pills up vinyl flooring gets holes and gouges and wears out quickly. There is a reason why commercial Labs pour epoxy.I'm not to mention they're not the only people in the business it can't be done much cheaper.I think those folks have just been doing it for awhile and they're proud of their product and think that you should pay for something that's of what they believe is higher quality.
@@tomharrell9575 metallic epoxy does not hold up, it look great when u apply but once u start using it, you can see every imperfection, your footprint, bike tire marks, dog scratches, anything show up on there.
You know, who would have "thunk" this? We have mobile home rentals and I am getting so tired of replacing carpet and flooring. I told my hubby there has to be another solution. Here it is!
How big was your space and how many man hours did you put in? It's a lot of work.
Great job! Loved watching your video and your steps are great!
I searched for this to see if it was possible and possibly a cheaper alternative for our mobile home too
Great , informative video - Thank you for great work, looking forward to your next one
Great tips on the joints.
Looks absolutely fantastic 👌
Thanks!
WOW... So Beautiful...
EXCELLENT JOB...
I have those same floors in my Vintage RV...
This video is a God-send... Love this video...
Great job...
Thanks Judi!
Hi Judi can I see the floors in your RV? I am thinking of doing that in mine? Thought I was crazy lol
@@celiafernandez6065
You're not Crazy... Go For It.
I do not have the pictures anymore... I sold the RV and my old phone died when it fell in my Coffee!!! LOL
Wow! Just Wow!!!! Looks amazing!
I appreciate it! Thanks for the support 🙏
absolutely divine
Thanks!!
Hey, hows it holdin g up after a year? I wanted the same for my plywood floor shed and contacted a professional who refused to apply epoxy floor to a plywood shed due to the movement that could be in the floor and temperature changes. Instead he recommended polyurethane floor due to its elasticity and resistance to temperature changes. Your thoughts after a year?
Wow… Beautiful
I was looking for a video like this 12 months ago!
Haha for the next epoxy project then. Hope your project turned out well
@@AndrewThronImprovements I ended up doing tile instead and it turned out great
Thank you so much for this video. I'm removing all carpeting and didn't know you could use epoxy over wood (thought concrete only). I'm doing all my floors in white.
Thanks for watching and good luck!
How'd it go?
@@stillhavecommonsense6875 Still working. Should have been finished by now but I've been putting in a lot of extra hours at work these past two months.
Excellent job
Thanks Gregory! I appreciate it!
THIS IS AMAZING. We are first time homeowners on a concrete slab home, desperately trying to get rid of this old dirty carpet. THANK YOU 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks and good luck!!
Brilliant vlog thank you.
Thanks!
Hey! Thanks for the great and informative video. There seems to be mixed info about applying epoxy to wood surfaces since the give in the wood may cause cracking in the epoxy. Can this be alleviated with a base (flex coat)? What was your experience with this project? Did your floor not crack at all?
Very very beautiful man. I want to do my garage floor like that the same way
Appreciate! You should! Just consider adding something to make it non-slip.
Great job
Thanks for sharing bro.
That’s so dope man you made it look easy brother let’s go
Appreciate it!
91% isopropyl alcohol is great for getting that sanding dust off the floor. Use a spray bottle.
We have a couple of really friendly cats in the neighborhood and I had a picture in my mind of doing tjis, turning around and seeing MeowMeow stomping around to say hello. Gotta love him!
Very good talk through very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Outstanding job Andrew! The color choice is perfect. My daughter used blues on her concrete floor for a similar look. I thought you built your shed on a concrete base; guess I missed something. My back aches for you, however, was there no longer handles available for that floor rolling job? :) Bt, you are young with a different perspective. It is an amazing metamorphosis however you look at it: style, electrified, storage friendly and beautiful to look at. Thanks for the show and I'm looking forward to the next one. Patrick
I appreciate it, Patrick! I built a plywood shed base frame on TOP of the concrete slab actually - but I could have just build the shed slab-on-grade. And I hear you on the back lol but it's mainly my knees these days haha. Appreciate you watching and for the continued support of the channel!
@@AndrewThronImprovements I really feel your pain WRT your knees. Mine have both been replaced ergo no pain, unless I kneel. Imagine the odd looks at Mass when I do not kneel with the others. I have to really turn up my Halo and forge on. The contractor pads don't fit and can't be adjusted for me. Eventually I'll find some that fit, stay in place etc. I will remain faithful ATI fan and patiently wait for a full blown ATI channel with all your talents showcased for all to see. Just set up your investment scheme now so you don't have to delay filming when all the $$$ begins to come in :). Are the Oysters any good this season?
Can i use this method for ceiling its would be so wowwww❤
Best video out there!!!!! Thx
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
I'm glad I came across this video and now i subscribe
I appreciate it!!
Please can you help me know which type of machines I nerd for a such project, good job
Thank you so much
Nice job 👍🏽
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
I really want to put a floor like that in my kitchen however it scares me...lolol
Do you have enough time before it starts to harden? Your videos are awesome . I came across one on u-tube and began to watch one after the other. Boy do I have a lot of work ahead. You make it look pretty easy although,... I am sure these jobs are harder than it looks 😮
Well back to your videos. I absolutely love them. Tyfs 😊
That was very cool. A lot of layers and patience. Would you do this again or just lay flooring?
I would but not for such a small area! Maybe for a 2 car garage
BEAUTIFUL
Thanks!!
We're thinking about doing this on our exterior back deck. Is there anything else we need to know about exterior application?
So no grinding is needed it only applies to concrete? & flex proxy product is only for wood & wouldn’t be needed for concrete ? When you were applying your white Epoxy how did you wait until adding the black epoxy?? Is there a color chart you may know for on what colors would be great to use as a design just how you used this black & white ? BTW your code was the most helpful thank you for this I don’t really comment but you are different & actually spreads a wealth of knowledge thanks for giving back !
Im going to be honest I thought you ruined it with those swirls as you were doing them, but it actually turned our rather impressive and i really liked it. Thank you for sharing Andrew. Looks really good.
Haha I did too as I was going it! But I’m happy with how it came out. I just trusted the process and went for it
Nice!
Great video, how is it holding up?
Thanks!
Appreciate it, Tim! Thanks for supporting!!
Can I do this on top of OSB sheating?
I am justing asking because that's what I have and I hope I don"t have to replace it. Thank you
🎳 love the methodical arrangement ; patience is a virtue
Amazing
Thank you for sharing I had no idea what Epoxy was. How much did you spend on all the materials to complete project? I would love to try it myself for my 12 x12 bedroom..
Nice, But is it tough??? I'd like to do this to my Shop which will have tons of tools and heavy things are going to fall.
Could this work on a second floor bathroom if I lay plywood over the subflooring?
Thank you.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Great job brother 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
Awesome job my brother. Can you let us know around about the total cost of this project. I'd like to way my options. Thanks and keep the videos coming
Fr. I was looking at this video hoping it would be cheaper than wood. But it seems just as much or even more expensive
love it
Andrew we want to do white gloss floor - would you point please to the right product Thank you for your time
Does the flex product comes with the kit?
Thank u 🙏
Will this product work on the exterior? Sunlight and freeze/thaw cycles?
Appreciate you
Appreciate you watching!
Do you think this would work on a boat floor. Our forward cabin has the carpet removed and want to use an epoxy floor with a blue pigment. The forward cabin is around 52.65 SqFt
Can you put garage epoxy paint over a wood deck? I am trying to get my large deck a few more years of wear before I have to replace it.
Overtime as the floor settles would the epoxy crack?
I think it's a rubber type material. So it flexes with movement
It won’t crack, the primer is flexible and the epoxy will bend, it actually takes a lot for epoxy to crack
wow wow wow
I love the floor. But I'm curious how much it cost to do the entire thing? Maybe you mentioned it somewhere and I missed it. Thank you!
I'm sure it wasn't cheap. Great idea though. I'm going to have to look into something like this, even if it's a more basic approach.
But my shed is 14x20, quite a bit more material
I don't have a plywood floor, I have spruce floor boards so there are gaps along every board. Do I need to fill each crack before I can move to the next step?
Can you make a similar effect with paint
I have a large room and it flexes a little it’s 25x13
Will it work on it
Just beautiful. Is there a way you can help me order what I need to do a 35 sq ft bathroom. I'm having trouble locating everything and estimating the right amount on the website.
Call the websites customer service
what type of epoxy used for floor? and what type of epoxy can use for resin art pls tell me
I know this is a old video, I’m wanting to epoxy a spare room in my house. Should I place a set of thin playwood on the sub floor in my room?
Can you do this over OSB board?
Looks 👀great.
I appreciate it! Thanks so much for watching!
@@AndrewThronImprovements bro you reply to someone saying this but not the cost?
What if I want to do this to my hardwood floors?
No sanding before the waterproof base epoxy?
I'd like to do the walls as well. If possible
SIC!!! 👍
Can I just use the flex and leave it like that?
Would it be OK for a enclosed trailer?
how much it it cost you thank you looks very nice
Are there any mate finishing?
Did that company hook you up with that epoxy? If not, bet it was expensive.
Looks pretty good. I would like to do that to my shed too... how much did this end up costing you? $1000'ish?
