What's up YouTube fam
Family YouTube family
Badasses out there watching so I'm hoping this is gonna be like
So I'm hoping this is gonna be
The last video the last thing I got to do before really start moving in the new shop
So you can see I finally got watering out here
I was kind of a pain
but I finally got it and really I needed water was like the last step I needed in order to
wash the floors and
Put the epoxy down
So, I've already started kind of cleaning up and
This is the plans
So first, I'm gonna wash floor suit floors. We'll get wash them some muriatic acid
And then this is the epoxy that I'm going to use here. This is called aqua pond
It's a PPG product and this stuff right here is the bomb
Stuff right here is like ultra legit. I've got a couple buddies of mine
They have it swear by and I mean I've seen the performance firsthand
Driving tractors big diesel trucks all kinds of stuff on it. Absolutely. No issues
So it comes in a a and B kit so you got a B you mix them
I've got six kits, which I'm hoping it'll be enough to get it done. These kits aren't cheap. They're I'm about $150 a kit, so
you do the math think it's just
100,000 bucks worth of epoxy
But if it works the way I think it'll work would be worth the money
So now the plan is just get all the rest of this crap out of here
Got to take a scaffolding part put it outside get all this crap out of here
get everything swept real well and
Start cleaning, not really sure what I'm gonna do with the welding table
You know I pick up with the tractor but only having work put it outside I
Really don't want it to get rained on so I don't know. I'll figure that out
All right, so
I don't know maybe a whole week week and a half has passed a couple issues
Every time I come in here to kind of dry out it wouldn't be as clean as I wanted it to be
So I would clean it again. Well, then I'd have to wait for it to dry and then no some issues with the weather
mainly just dryness end up putting a
dehumidifier in here and a fan just let it run for like the last three days the weather's broke now and
I think for like the next day two and a half days. It's nice. It's gonna be nice and sunny. And so
It's time to coat the floors
To do this
All right, the floors are done wasn't a big painful we'll take it back it was a painful process
So I basically started 10 30 years and the way this stuff works is you kind of got to mix it
You got to let it sit kind of start reacting
For about 30 minutes and then you have a four-hour window to put it down
I think the total
Total floor probably took me maybe five or six hours wasn't too long, but I didn't know how long it's gonna take me
so I kind of
Didn't want to stop I just kept kept going didn't really film much
Let me uh, let me grab the products. I know you guys are gonna ask
So the product I used was this PPG aqua pond?
I'm not gonna say that it's the best product in the market because not really an expert on floor epoxies now
I will tell you this is probably the best product that I've ever seen in person
I've seen a lot. I've applied some
The beauty of this product is that it's an industrial
Product by PPG first of all, it's not advertised as your you know
Houska rog floor coating that you can buy it Home Depot or wherever else
and it's designed mainly for
Chemical resistance so you spilled gas on it and spilled brake fluid on it
Bright clean doesn't matter what it is this stuff right here is gonna it's not gonna really affect it
It's not gonna fix it at all. Matter of fact, I know a guy
Firsthand a buddy of mine got the same coating
Spilt brake fluid on it
and for those of you that know anything about brake fluid
Stuff messes with anything doesn't matter what it is
Didn't know that the brake fluid is leaking sat there for over the weekend
When he did discover it he came in wiped it up. No issues. I
Think his stuffs good up to like 250 degrees
Obviously weld splatter could affect it. I'm not really worried about it. Mostly what I do is tick welding
And if I do burn it or whatever, I'm sure it's gonna wear. Anyways, I'll just recode it at some point. No a big deal
Other than that as far as the coding itself and the durability of the codeine
I
mean I've seen you know, big diesel trucks and trailers and tractors moved on this stuff and
zero issues thus far and
My buddy Chuck Tian the Chuck he's had his for over a year now got another friend of ours
that's had it for a couple years now and
Very very good no complaints that I've kind of heard of
preparation cleaning real well
Did acid etch on this thing, so they recommend either acid etch or like a diamond
Grinding did a really good acid etch on it try to pull as much as that crud out of the concrete as I could
Put as much
Texture in it. So this stuff could bite into it and then this stuff's just a two-part mix. So it's an A and B
Epoxy one's got the color. They'll when I'm assuming is probably the hardener you mix it together. You mix it up real good
Like I said, you let it sit and it kind of starts to activate and then you put it down. I
bought I
bought
six kits
For this floor, which is 12 gallons
I figured that's about what I was going to need and come to find out I only needed four kids
eight gallons
To do what I've done. I probably could have put it on a little bit thicker, but I
Mean I still don't think I would have used
all 12 gallons, so
Yeah, I got a little extra. I can recoat some spots if I need to may do the garage in the house. I
Don't know what I'm gonna do yet, but I got four extra gallons
So now the floors are done. It's moving time and I start moving stuff in here equipment a lot of the stuff
That's gonna go over here along with construction is gonna still continue
You're gonna put up some walls and that sort of thing. I may do one more bit sous-vide at the house
just because the weather doesn't look like it's gonna be very good for the next eight or ten days and
It may kind of hinder me giving it in here
So in the meantime, I made this work over there and do do some filming. But yeah
I'll be sure documented entire process
I gotta do the walls got to do the enclosures got to set up the equipment all that stuff be on film
I'll bring it to you guys and hopefully
I've been saying this for a while, but hopefully I can bring you guys more regular videos
now that kind of in a
kind of in a work workable space
Alright guys, as always thinking was on me. I'll see you guys some more this week next week more videos
Go do work son
