Title: Floor suggestions needed
Post by: Kyle700 on December 14, 2012, 05:01:34 PM

I replaced the entire floor, sealed it with resin. I used the one-part epoxy paint on top of that, but over 6 months, it has cracked all over the place. 2-6 inch cracks. I want to take all that paint off and redo it. Any other ideas...maybe the two-part (Rustoleum) epoxy paint?

Is flowcoating a one step paint-like process or is the the second of a 2-part process. A little confused, reading about it, what I take from it is that it is a topcoat on gelcoat.?? Will it go directly onto resin?  I' cornfused :/

from what i read you apply the flowcoat, then you do a clear epoxy over the top with UV inhibiters added in.  then you start sanding your butt off and polish it up.

Can it be applied directly to a unfinished/sanded wood floor?

I haven't used the stuff but I don't see why not as long as there's no way water can get to the wood afterward and cause cracks by swelling

If you're going to do all that work and spend all that money spend the little extra time and sand it smooth...
