thank you! nobody talks about this stuff, just how easy it is to lay a floor, but not what can go wrong or why. or how to avoid it.

Thank you,good job.

Very interested. Thanks

Could you put a good dpm over the concrete to help

What's the proper formulation used in a good Epoxy resin?

What happens if I mix the epoxy at a slower rpm for e.g 200 rpm?

Hi, if you have a bad case of bubbles in your newly laid epoxy floor - what's the best way to repair it? Remove all and start again? Or just keep patching up and recoating? Also, should the surface be sanded before re-coating ? (eg. to remove the bumps from bubbles which haven't broken through the surface).

@learncoatings-epoxyfloorin9448

No need to remove it, that will be a massive hassle and would take days. Just patch and recoat over. Good luck

do you have bubbles and such problems with Polyaspartic? or just epoxy? or polyurethane?

Good explanation. Thank you. Sir I have few questions: 1. Can I apply self levelling epoxy to an outdoor area? 2. Can I apply self levelling epoxy to bathrooms where floors are usually unlevel because of drainage? 3. Is self levelling epoxy more durable than tiles? 4. Is self levelling epoxy more costly than tiles? Thank you. More power to you sir.

Hi 1) I do not recommend epoxy for outdoors, watch this video for more info kzread.info/dash/bejne/X31qlLOkoay2aNo.html 2) I do not recommend this, the epoxy will run into the drainage, you may be better of with roller applied epoxy 3) It is very durable, the only tiles that have equal durabilty are the industrial tiles 4) Depends on the quality of the tiles and the existing setup and substrate, and the labour that needs to go in for each case

What are your thoughts on the Sherman William products for Epoxy?

Hi, I installed an epoxy floor with a final polyurethane layer. The day after floor was covered with plastic in order to be able to paint some walls. Two weeks later several bubbles apeared, all of thw bubbles have water underneath. Could the plastic provoke the bubbles?

@learncoatings-epoxyfloorin9448

It is very unlikely that the plastic provoked the bubbles. If there is water underneath it means that there was trapped moisture or rising dampness in the substrate. Epoxy and PU (I am assuming these are solvent based) are not breathable products

Hello. Are epoxy floors safe on humid and hot countries? I fear for the toxic fumes that may escape when epoxy become too hot. Please do clarify me. Thanks.

yes absolutely. Epoxy only gets dangerous at temperatures over 60 or 70 degrees celsius when it heats up and starts to disentigrate

Recently had a top coat done on an concrete overlay, by the end of the day I noticed sporatic dime sizes bubbles. What could have caused this?

@learncoatings-epoxyfloorin9448

4 жыл бұрын

I am assuming that the concrete overlay had not been primed or sealed? The concrete probably released air when the topcoat was being applied. Also in the summer we have an additional problem that as the temperature increases in the morning, the concrete expands. It is advisable to apply in the afternoon in these cases

I inspected it and noticed pin holes in the overlay it was top coated idk about primed but the holes seemed to have caused it. The solution the company is offering is to sand down the craters and I guess spot fill. They claim you will not be able to see a difference when done I'm hesitant to believe them.

Hi, Kindly tell me how to prevent these bubbles after the application of top coat. Suppose in a case it appears after final coat. Thanks

Bubbles will only occur during the curing process. Once the floor is dry they cannot emerge. But sometimes pre-existing bubbles may collect dirt and will become visible. They were there from before

Good explanation. Thank you sir. I have 3 questions: 1. Can I apply self levelling epoxy to an open air or outdoor? 2. Can I apply self levelling epoxy to bathrooms where floors are usually not level for drainage?

do you have an affordable yet effective primer you recommend?

@learncoatings-epoxyfloorin9448

Жыл бұрын

Always go for epoxy primers when applying epoxies. Even if they are more expensive. The risk of damage is too big if you choose a different primer

You said no 5 reason give you a feel about the floor, so after you applied primmer you see where problems are, so if problems what would be the correction step plz advise

@learncoatings-epoxyfloorin9448

It depends on the problems that arise. If oil rises to the surface, it means the floor needs better cleaning. If new cracks become visible you need to patch up the cracks first. Depending on the problem, you will need to find a solution

My patio guy said they will cure over time. Spike holes caused by his shoes. Is this correct?

@learncoatings-epoxyfloorin9448

2 жыл бұрын

Holes caused by the spiked shoes happen during the application when he walks on the still wet coating. These holes should close within a few minutes. If they don't go away it usually means that the coating had already started curing and he left a permanent mark. But this video looks more at bubbles and pinholes caused by degassing rather than spiked shoes

I'd say the biggest reasons are 6 and 7. Mixing in air bubbles and the materials in the paint. Also, even the typ of solvent you use to thin the material can have a big effect on the leveling and foam release.

Thank you William, thats a good point about the type of solvent and how it contributes to foam release!
