How to Properly Fill Cracks & Saw Cuts Before Epoxy | Rust-Oleum Concrete Saver Pro + Poly Flex 83

What happens here

Before applying any filler or primer, ensure the garage floor is thoroughly cleaned and degreased. After cleaning, allow the floor to dry for at least two days. Once dry, use a battery-operated leaf blower to remove any loose debris, such as tree seeds or tracked-in dirt, that may have accumulated while the garage doors were open during the drying process. This ensures a clean surface for the fillers and primer.

Goal: Ensure the floor is spotless and dry before applying fillers.

What they say

Hide

pressure washing, cleaning, degreasing all done. came out here, used the pressure washer, uh the all surface cleaner, and the rotating nozzle to thoroughly clean this. It's absolutely spotless now. So, now you know, we've waited 2 days. Typically, you're going to want to wait 2 days before you do uh any work on the garage floor. It's been 2 days and now we're going to begin the filling of our saw cuts, filling of cracks, um, and the joints around where the footings are. And then we're going to begin the priming process. So, before I begin, you know, working here, I'm going to blow this out just, you know, as the garage doors have been open. When it was drying out, it was windy. It's blown in some tree seeds and stuff. Our feet have tracked in a little bit of dirt. I'm going to blow this out. Now we're going to uh fill uh shave our uh filler, get it all level, and then I'll blow it out one more time. So, I typically just have a battery operated blower that I blow everything out with and uh get this all um all the debris out of here cuz we don't want any debris getting mixed in with our uh with our primer. So, just a simple little process. I'm going to begin blowing it out.
