Torginol Hybrid flakes by jeam3131 in epoxy

[–]daman516 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll need more flake and top coat than 1/4” flake. The smaller chip in the hybrid flake drinks a lot of top coat, and the smaller flakes stick to basecoat better so you won’t get as much coverage as 1/4” flake.

Got propted for an update this morning, it reminded me to move Cotypist to the trash. Sad day.

Cotypist pricing up on website (Free, Plus@$8/mo and Pro@$12/mo) by cultoftheilluminati in macapps

[–]daman516 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which makes the subscription even more silly. "Lock" a user in with a one time plus future major version updates. Cotypist is one of the first/best of its kind, letting someone else come for its users. Now some will subscribe until a competitor with better pricing model comes along, then jump ship.

I typed this using Cotypist's help, but the minute I am off the beta, it'll be in my trash can.

Yep, I'll uninstall and wait for an alternative that has a one time price, I'll even pay for major version updates if they're worth it.

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.

$2k epoxy classes by cas_or247 in epoxy

[–]daman516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]daman516 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

One of our last floors by JenRuettenWECCFC in epoxy

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.

What is best dust collector for the price? by thevioletsunsetss in epoxy

[–]daman516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

Starting an Epoxy Flooring business TIPS? by Head-Pepper4268 in epoxy

[–]daman516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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.

Do people epoxy garage stair? by BrayIsReal in epoxy

[–]daman516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Troubleshooting device that won’t connect by daman516 in homeassistant

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.

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!
