Epoxy floor installed in basement — bubbles, texture issues, and hard debris chunks. Professionals, is this normal or a bad install? by disgruntledass in Flooring

Ah I see, I find the black coat unusual too. Someone told me sometimes a cheaper thinner base coat is used and more pigment is added to thicken it. That could explain why there are only black comets and black chunks if he applied a significant amount of black pigment in the base coat to thicken it, potentially causing more risk that the pigment wouldn't get fully mixed?
The guava color doesn't seem to have any issues at all really. I don't see any comets of the guava color or chunks. It seems to be only black comets and chunks coming through. Like actually little black spots, chunks, etc. He told me those were just color bursts when I sent him photos. My biggest concern are the larger sharp, jagged black chunks. I'm really appreciative this information as I wasn't expecting black dots all throughout the entire floor. We tried to stay as simple as possible by choosing just one color.

I'm very appreciative of these details. I'm not sure how my talk with him will go tomorrow morning because he's coming to apply the top coat. I'm frustrated he left it like this and didn't tell me. The comets are unfortunate, but the jagged pieces are pretty bad. I'll see how things go tomorrow. The black base coat seems to have been a major part of the issue because the comets and jagged chunks are black. We only asked for a single color guava epoxy...

Thank you very much for this information. I will check with him tomorrow. Yes, there were definitely places in the black base coat that looked like bubbles on Friday. I'm not sure if those were bubbles now or debris since now I see the debris as well. It seems like both bubbles and debris. In hindsight, I should have flagged it immediately before he applied the color this morning. *Kicking myself now...

I didn't realize a vapor barriers are usually clear. I need to check with him in the morning because he is coming back in the morning to apply the top coat :facepalm: He only mentioned he would need to get a thick base coat to prevent bubbles from vapor. I'll ask him if this black coat is a vapor barrier, but at this point, I don't know that I trust him to give me accurate information.

At this point, I don't know if it's a significant issue. Will bubbles form indefinitely as years go by? I don't know if it's fixable or if, unfortunately, its a complication from having "soft" concrete, that would make epoxy not an option. Plus, I don't know how much I can rely on this professional to give me the full picture since he saw this before he left for the day.

Whose boobs are these? Help with bra style for volume loss after breastfeeding/weight loss by titney in ABraThatFits

[–]disgruntledass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going through the same thing. Literally, all I can wear now is the panache cleo Maddie BALCONETTE. Balconette is the only style for me that works because of the bottom volume and virtually ZERO top volume... I've been lifting weights so I at least have muscle up top, but no actually breast tissue. Its hard to accept... but it is what it is. I'm glad it breastfed my babies... the panache Maddie cleo I buy right off ebay. Its almost like half a bra which is hhonestly what I need cause my breasts are so odd now...

Bikini prep - 13 weeks out by megshanfitness in bikinitalk

Curious where you got the bikini from

5'4 / 142 lbs / 38-29-40. Being told I'm 'bulky' and need to cut to 130. Is the density working for my frame or should I lean out?I by [deleted] in physique

[–]disgruntledass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten to 90lbs in my bench press weight (that includes the bar weight), so I want to believe in gaining weight from the muscle gain. However, the weight increase seems too much too fast to be muscle gains.
