Garage Floor Coating ProcessStep One: Degrease, Clean and Etch DEGREASE- Mix a small amount of Krud Kutter Clean and Etch according to instructions on container.
- Sprinkle Krud Kutter mix onto grease spots on your floor using a plastic sprinkle can.
- Scrub the mix into the surface with a stiff scrub brush until the foaming stops.
- Rinse the spots well and determine whether a second application to those particular spots is necessary.
- If the grease spots look adequately cleaned, move on to the cleaning process.
CLEAN and ETCH- Mix Krud Kutter Clean and Etch with hot water in a 1 - 3 ratio (1 part Krud Kutter to 3 parts water).
- Dampen the concrete with a fine spray of water and then apply the Krud Kutter mixture using a sprinkle can.
- Scrub the mix into the surface with a scrub brush until the foaming stops. Then rinse the floor AT LEAST 3 - 4 times with a power washer.
- Allow the surface to dry for at least 3 - 4 good drying days before applying coating.
Step Two: 2 Coats of Poly-Glaze and Addition of Paint ChipsFIRST COAT OF POLY-GLAZE- Being an epoxy, Poly-Glaze comes in two parts: Part A and Part B. Mix enough Poly-Glaze to coat your floor ONE time in a mixing bucket.
- After mixing Part A and Part B with a drill mixer, allow the mixture 1/2 hour of "Open Time" before you apply it to your floor.
- After this 1/2 hour of "Open Time", apply the product to the floor and let it dry overnight.
SECOND COAT OF POLY-GLAZE- Again, mix enough Poly-Glaze Part A with Part B to coat your floor ONE time. Allow this mixture the required 1/2 hour "Open Time."
- After the 1/2 hour of "Open Time", begin rolling this second coat over your garage floor.
- If you are going to sprinkle in Rust-Oleum color flakes, this is the time to do it. Simply roll out a strip about 3 - 4 feet deep across the entire back of the garage and then sprinkle in the color flakes, stopping about 6" from the edge of the wet paint.
- Once this is completed, roll another strip 3 - 4 feet deep across the entire width of the garage and repeat the application of color flakes.
- Complete the floor in this manner and let it dry for 24 hours.
Step Three: 1 Coat of Pitthane UltraONE COAT OF PITTHANE ULTRA- Pitthane comes in a two component "Kit". The gallon of Component A must be mixed with the quart of Component B. To do this, pour the entire contents of Component B into the gallon of Component A and mechanically agitate.
- Once the two components are well mixed, there is no "Open Time" required. You can go ahead and apply this high-gloss clear finish to your floor.
- The floor, once completed, should dry for about 10 - 14 days before it receives vehicle traffic.
