What happens here

Begin by kneeling on the garage floor, preferably using knee pads for comfort and protection. Prepare the epoxy cavasil, which the narrator mentions has a 20-minute working time. Using a small trowel or putty knife, apply the epoxy cavasil directly and tightly into the saw cuts (also known as control joints) on the floor. The objective is to fill these joints thoroughly, creating a smooth surface that will eventually 'disappear' beneath a final base coat. The narrator notes that these joints were previously filled with a rigid filler but were not filled sufficiently, necessitating this additional application.

Goal: Adequately fill saw cuts/control joints in the garage floor.

Tools and materials

  • Gloves — Protecting hands from epoxy and other chemicals
  • Knee pads — Providing comfort and protection while kneeling
  • Small trowel — Applying and skimming the epoxy cavasil into the saw cuts
  • Epoxy Cavasil — Filling and smoothing saw cuts in the garage floor

What they say

Hide

So I'm working on these saw cuts that I'm using a epoxy cabasil right here, 20-minute working time. Just skimming it tight over these joints to help make these things disappear a little bit better. So they were filled with a rigid filler before, but they weren't filled enough and so we're trying to fill them in. So what they were before we do are base cuts so they'll disappear.
