I concur with what everyone has said so far.

I actually had a conversation on this very subject last Saturday with an expert who finishes garage floors for a living. He does excellent work and knows his stuff.

He told me that the key to a good epoxy finish on a garage floor is to etch the floor properly first to provide good adhesion and to have the concrete as dry as possible before applying the coating.

As with most all paint/finishing projects, the key to a good lasting and good looking job is always proper prep.

I am in the middle of building my garage addition and will soon be doing this myself.....

Hope this helps!
