Why You Should NEVER Grind Your Epoxy Floor Again…

What happens here

Begin by addressing the perimeter edges of the garage floor, often referred to as 'footings' or 'stem walls'. Use a square agitating sander on the floor surface to create a suitable profile for adhesion. For the vertical and horizontal edges, utilize a 5-inch orbital sander. The video specifically mentions using a 'Unita 5 in sander' and 'film tech' for this step. The goal is to ensure these areas are properly abraded to accept the epoxy primer effectively.

Goal: Before applying the primer, thoroughly sand the 'footings' or stem walls around the perimeter of the garage floor using both a square agitating sander for the floor and a 5-inch orbital sander for the vertical edges. This prepares the surface for optimal primer adhesion.

What they say

our primer. So, this is um first first coat going down. So, doing the uh footings right now. I actually sanded my footings with my Unita 5 in sander. So, we sanded the floor with our square agitating sander. Then I used my 5- in orbital sander and film tech to actually sand, you know, our stem walls here, our footings. And now we're just coating it.
