Epoxy in the Garage

October 7th - Beautiful Fall Day

I finally  got the garage cleaned and scrubbed the garage floor and Lou decided that it needed a fresh coat of epoxy applied.  After, my late husband died, Dr. Nespola helped me make the decision to apply epoxy to the garage floor for the first time and what a job it was, but it certainly was worth all of the effort.  I am able to keep it as clean as the kitchen floor.

Lou had noted that where the tires of the car had been parked with salt on the tires over the last five years, it had pitted, so I contacted Sherman  Williams Paint Company to see what we needed to do to apply another coat of the same product to the existing coat.   We needed to clean the floor, fill the area with a special concrete filler, let it dry and then sand all areas that were still shinny, then we were free to apply a new coat, as long as it was the same brand.

I did the stripping along the edges and Lou rolled on the "glue".  You have only two hours to complete the task, so we worked right along.

As you can see it turned our beautifully.

We even had enough to do the area where the kiln sits

We had to wait 72 hours until we could bring the car back into the garage, and we had rain, so we waited a little longer just to make sure it was cured enough.  It certainly looks good to us.

Now when we get back from our trip to the Wine Country, we will get everything settled back into place.  We are going to set up the treadmill to use until we go south.
