I need recommendations for an epoxy floor.

Hey lance, what's the best way to fix a chip in it? I lifted my 6K lbs truck with three jackstands about a month ago and one of the jackstands had narrow sharp base on it and it removed about one square inch of the coating, right down to the concrete. I was thinking about putting some Hydrualic cement over it but would rather put like an epoxy patch, do they have that?

these work great too, buy a set of these and use a cut off wheel and cut them down some so you dont twist your ankle ( beleive me)







here is me working on 10,000 sq ft of coatings



this is the profile your looking for to get a good bond.






me putting up 6" cove and putting down our trowel down system.

Thanks Lance, after reviewing several products, I am leaning towards the Wolverine Epoxy Floor System.

im not to sure on what kind of epoxys are out there seeing as i only install one epoxy coating. (stonhardDOTcom) and they dont sell it to the general public. its the best stuff ive ever seen. and ive removed a lot of other epoxy coatings to put our stuff down.


back on track. i would look for the same stuff you got. that way you know it will bond to it self, or should anyways. the bad part is if its a 2 part your going to have to waste that whole mix for those little chips. i would check out the garage journal, im sure they have delt with repairing little chips better then i have, sorry.

no problem. W.E.F.S. sounds like they make a good product. i remember reading a lot about them on the garage journal. how are you doing your prep?

Yeah it was two-part which is why I'm not spending $80 just to fill a one square inch area. Thanks for the response though!

I plan on renting a floor grinder with a diamond wheel.
