With UCoat It™ epoxy floor
coating, your car can drive on your showroom-finished
garage floor the next day. UCoats’ epoxy
formula catalyzes from the inside out making it fast to cure. Other epoxy floor
coatings I have seen, recommend you wait 7-10 days until their product
fully cures. These other epoxy coatings also require your floor to be
completely dry floor before application. This means waiting a least a
day for your cleaned floor to dry. UCoat epoxy should be applied to a damp floor allowing the
entire application process to be performed in a single day.
3 easy
application steps:
Review application
instructions and video included with product purchase for details.
- Thoroughly clean
the floor. Spot degrease oily areas then etch the floor with a mild
muratic acid solution and flush with clean water. Concrete cleaning and
repair supplies are available in the UPrep kit.
- Apply
a thin 3-part bonding coat to the cleaned concrete floor. Sprinkle the
supplied Utex grit over the wet bond coat to provide a non-skid
surface. The bonding coat cures in 4-6 hours. You may be wondering what
the 3rd part of this epoxy floor coating system is. The 3rd
part is a co-plastimer that aids the epoxy in penetrating and sealing
the concrete surface.
- Apply
a 2-part finish coat after bond coat dries. The floor will be ready for
foot traffic in 12 hours. Vehicles can drive on it the next day.
Optional decorative enhancements will take longer to cure.
Caution: Protect Your Eyes & Lungs!
Use safety glasses and a respirator approved for use with muratic acid.
Appropriate respirators are available
at your local home improvement and hardware store.
So what else do I like about UCoat It™?
How about no odor, no combustible fumes, and no volatile organic compounds. The
kits come packaged as a complete
system containing everything you need for a great looking floor.
Applying UFleck will create a custom terrazzo
look finish and provide protection from ultraviolet (UV) fading. UFleck also helps disguise imperfections in your
concrete, such as rough spot, scars and minor chips. Garage Detailer
normally does not recommend floor coatings due to importance of proper
floor preparation, application and cure time, and the need to
occasionally recoat. However, UCoat It™
has developed a product that overcomes many of these arguments and
delivers an attractive floor finish
system at a very affordable
price. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, Garage Detailer
suggests you visit the UCoat It™
web site. The informative site is e-commerce
enabled so you can purchase the kits
direct.
Note: Be sure –AF is in the part number you order. The
–AF products are specific for Automotive Floors.
