Do You Really Need to Grind Concrete Before Epoxy? | Garage Floor Prep Explained
What happens here
The discussion elaborates on suitable scenarios for using the specialized primers without grinding. Basements are identified as ideal locations due to the difficulty of transporting heavy grinding equipment downstairs, potential liability issues, and the primers' low odor and lack of silica dust generation compared to grinding. For older garage floors with typical automotive oil or transmission fluid drips, using Rust-Oleum industrial cleaners (like Foaming Aerosol Cleaner Degreaser or Concentrated Neutral Floor Cleaner) to remove most stains, followed by priming, can be effective. However, very heavy oil staining or industrial environments with constant forklift traffic and chemical spills would still require mechanical abrasion for optimal performance.
Goal: Identify appropriate surface preparation for various floor conditions and environments.
