The Epoxy kind,
Emptied the garage and got the fridge on a dolly and covered it with a tarp to spend a few days outside.
Quick summary of the work. I needed to remove my old epoxy floor coating I installed DIY in 2008. It had been damaged due to the Hurricane Sandy flooding and ensuing use as a construction site for home repairs.
The floor was professionally ground, defects filled, repairs ground, slab vacuumed, 100% medium gray epoxy applied, chips and non slip additive sprinkled on the the color coat. The following day the company will return to top it with a clear 2 part marine grade Pollyurethane to uv stabilize it and add some gloss.
Company showed up today at 8am to begin and job was completed at noon. Much faster than I imagined.
Going to let the pictures do the talking on this On this one...
