Uneven clearcoat
Hi all, We just finished putting down a coat of polyaspartic on a flaked floor and it has an uneven appearance. The customer picked torginols “white cap” hybrid which has mica in it as well. The flake almost looked uneven or like the white was pooling in one area while the blue was pooling in another, almost like clouds in the floor. So we scrapped and reflaked the whole floor… same thing The slab is about 4 months old and has a vapor barrier in place. The highest reading we got on our tramex was 1.5% The day of install the garage temp was between 47-50 degrees and the material was kept warm up until install Our system was Regular cure polyaspartic with full flake broadcast Scrapped both ways *reflaked floor due to odd appearance Scrapped both ways, acetone wiped Grout coat of regular polyaspartic Swing machine whole floor to flatten- acetone wiped Final coat of polyaspartic with flat squeegee, each section was backrolled both directions with no puddles I want to resolve this but am not sure what the best method is? I was thinking a HWU in a matte might help even out the appearance

@Jeremy Redig thank you Jeremy. I will check that out. I’ve heard good things about their products.
Resutile aqua & resuflor mpe
Does anyone have experience using Sherwin Williams regular multi purpose epoxy with flake. Broadcast with resutile aqua as a topcoat? My local rep is trying to convert me to using SW products for my flaked floors Any suggestions or feedback would be really helpful

@Joseph Austin we did one recently but not have accessibility for our equipment for sanding/solvent wiping, so we went with fusion primer. It’s not cheap but it worked and it saved us a fair amount of time. I don’t know if it would work in certain areas because the smell, it will get ya.
Flakable MVB
Hey guys, I’ve noticed a few MVB’s that can be flaked into. They don’t hold out 20-25 lbs. like a true MVB but they do hold out 9-10 lbs. I guess my question is, assuming the moisture tests are under 3 lbs. would you use this product? I’m interested in learning to use new products, I’m just not a fan of shortcuts and this may be one I should avoid? Any thoughts?

The one I saw is manufactured by -ResinForce labeled as “Flakeshield MVB” in case anyone is interested.

@Joseph Austin great insight here. Well said Joseph.
Rotary grinder
Hey guys, Just did a demo with a diamapro DXP 26. It weighs about 1100 lbs but man does it chew thru coatings! We are buying a used unit after seeing this thing in action. You can see what it removes in this video. This was about 1 min of running 30/40 two segment, hard tooling.

@Alvis Ciritis I do think I will want a decent exhaust fan in smaller spaces. I plan on running it on most jobs just because of the efficiency

That’s very cool. I’ve never used one but I’ve read and heard good things about them. Let me know if you get one, I’d love to hear your feedback
