During the last week, I epoxied my garage floor since I do oil changes in my garage and was very sick and tired with the cleanups.
I used PPG Aquapon 35 Polyamide Epoxy. For those who want to do up their garage, lemme know I can get you some discount on the product.
There are many great reviews on this product, it doesnt leave tire marks and is chemical/oil resistant, etc.
First, I had etched the concrete floor with muriatic acid (diluted to 1:10 parts of water, using just the muriatic acid will etch the cement yellow and make sure you wet the cement with water first). I did this twice to ensure that there will no grease or oil in the pores of the cement. Rinsing with water each time.
I then applied two coats of epoxy, waited 24hours between each coat. But what I should have done is to prime the cement therefore sealing the cement. I noticed small bubbles started to form when I applied the first coat of epoxy since my cement was very porous. The second coat of epoxy just covered up the bubbles.
On the third coat, I applied a clear coat epoxy and also mixed up some anti-slip compound called Shark Grip. Aquapon 35 is a non-slip epoxy as well, but it can get slippery if there is too much water on it. And since we live in Vancouver, where it rains a lot, it was a good idea.
