May I? TIP! To STOP peeling on concrete floors, one MUST check the floor for moisture after one washed the floor.
3'x3' or so plastic sheet and tape it down good to the floor. Wait 24 hours and check for moisture under plastic. IF moisture, repeat until moisture is gone. I hope this helps.

Now they have 1 part epoxy and primer all in one. Besides assuring you’ve prepped the floor clean you need several thinner coats for decent durability. You could even use it around the lower 6”-12” of wall or higher and add water resistance if you like to wash the floors.

Great Video! The "Paint yourself into a corner" part was priceless! Thanks for the excellent information and demo on what to do, and not do. :)

How about a thin layer of self leveling floor compound first so as to smooth out the some minor imperfections ?

I just found your video—6months after you made it. Can you tell us how the floor is holding up?
I have the epoxy shield one part. I’m having to wait 28 days after patching cracks to apply.

Excellent job! Keep it up! Floor paint videos are trending lately 🎉

2 + questions:

1) Any idea how well this stuff seals up the odor of cat urine on concrete?

2) Assuming it does well with regard to my first question, is there any reason that I'm not considering as to why this wouldn't be a good base coat in preparation for vinyl plank flooring?

[mitchellbateman]

how has this held up since? any touch ups?

[yanivsostiel]

How is it holding with water, moisture, can you share a picture of how it looks like today...

[vufirst]

Thank you for sharing. I'm doing the same thing for my two car garage. The concrete bonding primer, the instructions on the can is saying that you have to wait at least 4 hours

Hello.. thanks for the video. I painted epoxy top coat by mistake and now wondering if I can paint base layer on top of my top coat ? I used rustoleom rock solid

Can I lay the epoxy chips on 1-part epoxy?

You finished floor looks like the floor I currently have in my basement. Maybe this epoxy paint is what they used before I bought my house. Is there a high gloss epoxy I can squeeze on top of it? It’s about 350 sq ft

Excellent job! Would you be interested in trying our DOVOH laser level?

[sajidrafique]

may be you should do a video of 2 part epoxy so we DIY ers will not mess up

[cameliahudson]

What's the name and where can we buy this type of epoxy?

How does it wear/look after 5 months?

[tyuzgbv]

Is it more slippery than bare concrete?

[andrewmarshall]

How's your floor doing one year later? I'm thinking about using 1 part epoxy, and the surface I will be putting it on is a new build construction. My guess is that I will need to do acid etching as well.

[billybastar]

I’m a little confused how is this considered a one part epoxy? The bonding primer is the chemical second part, thus two part!

We have an issue with pet urine on our concrete floor and it has been difficult to remove. One professional online stated if one gets most of the urine out, that one can then apply a two-part epoxy -- they noted that a one part epoxy will not adequately seal the concrete for stopping emission of the uric acid decomposition smell.
