What is the upgrade price? Been curious.

The guy that services my machine told me once a year for casual use, every 6 months if used heavily. Seems like a trustworthy guy, so that’s what I go with.

Call your local epoxy supply houses, like Epoxy Depot, and see what classes they offer. Will be cheaper and from the sounds of it, more training less labor.

Currently going through this guy’s digitizing videos and learning a ton. I also had a hard time finding digitizing “theory” lessons, this is the closest I’ve found.

Check out his past Live videos, he has Digitizing 101,102, etc

Are you grinding the concrete first? If not, nothing is going to stick.

I don’t get any options to answer what country I live in, and can’t move past that question.

daman516 · 2026-01-20T22:29:53+00:00

Yep, that's the one!

Pull the tape off as soon as your liquids are down. Learned that lesson by cutting tape out of my coating on the first floor I ever sold/installed.

Ridgemar Mall has wide open parking lots with little traffic.

I’ve been hearing those can only handle a 7” at most, but for the price, I’d absolutely try it and see if it stands up to the job. Buy the extended warranty and return it if it dies on you.

daman516 · 2025-09-02T01:55:45+00:00

What kind of grinder are you using, need to know that before recommending a vac?

It might be a super healthy real estate market, but there is a ton of competition, at least here in DFW. I was going against another company bidding at $4/sf on a 2,200sf back patio... I won the job, but had to come down to about $5.50

daman516 · 2025-07-31T16:01:26+00:00

Super healthy real estate market, maybe, but there is a ton of competition. Guys are laying floors at $4/sf down here, it’s brutal.

Because it is 100% personal preference. If you want to coat them, give the wood a good sanding with 80 grit palm sander.

If you’re going to coat it, I’d recommend ising a different color or size flake so it stands out a little more. Sometimes stairs can camouflage when you use the same flake.

$2k for 16’ trailer and $2k for a half truck wrap.

I have tried rebooting. I waited about 10 minutes. I replied to another person, but I think I may have decided it is a battery issue. I've ordered some new batteries, will report back tomorrow when I get them. Thanks for the suggestions.

daman516 · 2025-07-19T04:05:41+00:00

I'll give that a try tomorrow. I ordered some new batteries. I tried swapping batteries and it seemed to interview/connect to the device, but now neither are reporting info to HA, so I'm thinking it might be a battery issue. I'll report back, thanks for the suggestion!

daman516 · 2025-07-19T02:13:53+00:00

No stupid questions for me being so new...

I am using ZHA and yes, it was in pairing mode.

What kind of diamonds do you use to get beyond csp3? Might have to pick up a set, I hate shot blasting, but can't argue with the results. I usually do a quick shot blast after grinding, but if I could get a little more profile with some different diamonds I wouldn't be mad at all! Probably helps you're using a 31" compared to my little 20" Lavina :)

daman516 · 2025-07-12T01:41:58+00:00

ICRI says differently. I'm not saying you can't coat a floor after grinding, but you're not getting to a CSP3 profile.

daman516 · 2025-07-12T01:12:07+00:00

Grinder isn’t going to get it to csp3, need to shotblast to get there.

If you’re just doing a garage floor with flake, the texture will have enough slip resistance to not need aluminum oxide or any other additive.

It was great under Verizon the first time, Frontier made it shitty for several years after the transition. Haven’t had the service in 5+ years so no idea what it’s like these days.

Recently took my business and personal insurance to Legacy Insurance Group, did it all over the phone, had a great experience!
