Thanks guys, just hoping the colors even out between the two batches. They haven't done so quite yet but you can tell its still wet.

Hey harley im really thinkin about going that way with my shop floor. Would you say that stuff is smooth enough to roll a few 1:1 cars around on the little car skates?

Well I just got home and checked on the floor. The color between the two separate gallons of epoxy have still not evened out. I am hoping that due to the colder weather (floor is 59 degrees and min is 55) that it is just taking longer to dry as it does still appear wet in some places. If it doesn't even out I'm going to be FURIOUS.   |

Rent/borrow a floor buffer/waxer and run it with a fine to medium pad and use minimal water and it will even the sheen out. If it doesn't seem to dry the same. Give it 72 hours to dry to decide..... and at least a solid week to dry and harden before you buff it out. Room looks great |

That sucks....  I am assuming you mixed each gallon separately instead of together? Hopefully it will settle out as it continues to dry. |

Made tons of progress today! All the benches are built, just need to sheet two of them and get the steel top for the other. Uploading pictures now. I also went to Lowes and started the process of wedging my foot in their ass. Refund for the kit was no problem, just going to figure out what else they owe me. Might get this whole shop paid for in the end for what it would cost them to fix this correctly. |

Got a late start, around 3 this afternoon.  Put up a stringer along the back wall. Tapcon into the concrete and screwed to the studs along the new wall.  Pretty much the same thing along this wall. The far bench is taller then the rest in the shop and the other two on the right are lower. I'll explain all that later.  |
