Shop floor covering systems

TXDART, would you expound on your statement about your experience with water based epoxies? What problems did you have?

MULLINAX95, I know they have a light grey and a dark grey + others. I went with the light grey and really like it. For a hobby shop I don't think you would go wrong with a water based system. In a commercial shop it may not hold up over time. You will have to balance cost, ease of application (# of coats, clean up), expected use (abuse), ability to re-coat, ect. to find what works best for you. I don't think anything will hold up to severe usage over time (like my axle falling off my jack as I was rolling it out from under the car, left a nice mark on my freshly done floor). The nice thing about any coating system is clean up of any spills. Easy wipe up and no more oil stains. For me the cost and ease of application of the water based system met my needs. Your on the right track, stick with an industrial epoxy and make sure you coat the cement before you start using it. There is a wealth of info on that web sight about all types of epoxy coatings along with the pros/cons of each system, prep recommendations, ect. They have many available not just the Waterbond.
