Hey guys, how are things going with the contracts? It's so quiet. I'm starting to get worried. Does anyone else feel the same way?

@Victor Leal you used acetone or alcohol to spray over? Looks like it just thinned out

@Victor Leal I dunno man, looks like just diluted epoxy, it might have been not a consistent mix ,or maybe a cheaper batch diluted with xylene ,you will only know for sure if you do same pattern couple times and see what turns out different...did it come out like that before you sprayed isopropyl?

Waterproofing concrete vessel!
Hi everyone :) I want to make 10 x 2kg concrete pots that are 100% waterproof. They will be filled with water. I currently use a mix of: Portland cement Grey cement sand water Acrylic gripcure fibre 15% bonding liquid I sealed it twice with bonding liquid after curing. Should i seal the inside with clear paint, varnish or epoxy? Or is there an admixture that works?

@Chantelle Potgieter πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ sorry, didn't even read the post after I left the message, I meant scuff up, like scratch or score it, to get better adhesion, love autocorrect 🧐

@Chantelle Potgieter please do! cause I had an idea at one point to make a vase that is flaked like the flake floor systems with epoxy as a promo / decor piece , something that a guy can show to his wife and say hey, we can do our garage floor match your vase πŸ˜€
What's a good $/sf for a prep/grind job?
I have a customer that just had a 700-800 sf pole barn built. It has been over 30 days since the concrete was poured and he wants it to be epoxy flaked/coated, that's no problem. The catch is, there are some imperfections in the concrete from the Mason's pour and because of that, the PM running the job is going to cover the cost to grind the concrete and smooth the imperfections back out. Based on pictures I have gotten, the floor doesn't look like it will need anything special, most likley just a simple grind with 18/20 grit diamonds and a little patch here and there and it should be good to coat. Normally my prep price is combined into my overall cost of coating the floor with flakes, but with this situation, I need to provide the PM a price to grind the floor and the customer a price to coat it. I will be renting a machine to grind because I don't own my own yet so that will be a a factor of the costs, but does anyone have any recommendations as to what $/sf they would charge for the grinding. Do you have a general price for that service that you are willing to share. Trying to get an idea of what to charge/ what a typical going rate for that type of service is.

Yeah man, Jeremy put it pretty straight up. You don't want to ask everyone else what they do and go based of that. Figure out your operational cost ,include travel,rental of equipment, labor and see what number are you gonna break even at. Devide the area by that number and you'll get a better idea what will make sense for you to charge. Also without even seeing the site in person , don't commit to any agreement on price but I'm sure you know that πŸ€›πŸ»
