@Brada Bino I think people with construction background definitely have an upper hand when starting out, because of prep work 😎 a lot of people coming in, only seeing final results and that's just the tip of the iceberg 😁

@Jessica Bowling welcome to the gang
How The area you are based out of effects your business?
Just really curious to know what your take is. For those who are in warm climates and population densed areas, how much easier it is ( or harder if you think) to start a coating business? I am in Canada and realistically, the open window for doing just garage floors is about 6 months, anything beyond that is obviously doable, but not sure if it's worth the headache. Plus on top of that the place I'm in is low population, despite all of this I know from working at least one season with someone else( not on my own ) that there's enough demand to stay somewhat busy, but I can see how a lot of people are not even ready for this kind of flooring say inside the houses on wood subfloor ( which could get work year round in that case ), is it just me thinking myself out of it or would you say it's easier to move to 1 mil + people city and do it there?

@Josh Minturn word of mouth in a smaller market is definitely huge, speaking from experience of living in Canada 😁 and not in a bigger place either. Have quite a few people that I know who run very small construction companies and NEVER advertised even for a little bit 💁🏼‍♂️ that's where I was starting to get confused first, but then I realized they just never had a goal of expanding

@Josh Minturn very well said ,I like it 👍🏻
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

@Sam Robinson I'm not sure, just trying to understand more if the issue is with the final result or was it looking uneven before you put the topcoat?

@Sam Robinson might be a stupid question, but when you transferred flake into the bucket from the boxes, did you notice maybe uneven content , where in some spots there's more fine flake. Most of the time that stuff stays on the bottom, but I had that happen, thay guys throwing down flake didn't really pay much attention and instead of leaving that little bit of fine settlement from the bottom of the bucket ( i usually just leave that for scraps ,like fine scrape ) ,they throw it down on the floor and then it did show the spots where instead of having a 1/4" flake you have patches of 1/8" or even finer and that's where I would imagine the top coat will cover the area a little different, would probably make more glossy appearance than the rest of the surface. That's the only thing I can think of from top of my head, I'm looking at the Torginol hybrid sample pack and those ones seem to have a very broad spectrum of the flake size mixed, so if it's not "shuffled" real good, I can see how this could be happening

@Jeremy Redig In a heart beat, not even kidding
First floor 😅
I think it turned out alright, luckily it's my garage. In some areas I applied a thicker clear coat than in others, and it gives a wet and very shiny look, even when it's 100% dry.i also think we did not scrape the floor enough as my husband was worried about cutting into the basecoat. I imagine the solution is to apply more clear coat again to the entire floor? Please: Recommend a good quality squeegees & floor scraper the one I used is garbage.

Just look up epoxy flat squeegee, sometimes they call them magic trowel, I don't think there's gonna be huge difference, you're backrolling after anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️ and floor scrapers they have at home depot with wider interchangeble blades. You'd have to apply more to the spots that have less ( not shiny ) and then try to backroll the whole surface without dragging the material. If it was over 24 hrs since last coat,You'd have to sand , blow off and do a quick acetone wipe ,then put a clear. And hey, Congrats on the first floor 🥳
