Thanks so much to all for the instructions, especially Andrew Rickel! It took us a while to prepare for this with a lot of steps and tools we needed to get. We had two Painters and a Sprinkler; materials we used: *cement patch to cover some cracks (not the major divider lines, those need to stay to allow expansion/shrinking of cement floor) *cheapest 5 gal bucket *good large scrubber brush (for cleaning garage with degreaser/ etching) *water hose for rinsing garage (scrubber may help but we did well without it) *two quality roller naps + good roller base and long screw in handle for each *two cheap paint pans *several paint sticks (free at Home Depot paint counter) *FrogTape (for protecting walls around the the perimeter of the garage) *several wide brushes (for detailing side lip of the garage with epoxy) *clean parmesan cheese container for sprinkles *gloves and respiratory mask for everyone (most will hate to have this on, but epoxy is intense on the lungs!) *slippers/ratty clothes you don't care to ruin *cheap tarp to protect the floor in the house near garage door (we had to go in/out while prepping and managed to track some stuff in) *bring garage opener/ water with you *keep a trash bag outside (when you are done, you put all the used/disposable stuff in it right there) The kit contains two large metal containers with epoxy mix and two smaller containers with activator compound. We emptied out garage, cleaned the floor with degreaser and etcher, rinsed well, let dry, filled in random cracks. Covered the entire perimeter with paper tape at the wall-floor lip junction. On day X we used a 5 gal bucket to first mix both epoxy bases for an even color, then divided the uniform mix between the two containers. Since we had two Painters, we added the activator compound to each of the base, stirred, and waited a bit per instructions. Then three of us attacked the garage. First we went around the perimeter and covered the border with a brush. Then poured the epoxy in two paint pans, one person rolled per each side in small increments, starting from the far end of the garage, backing toward the garage door (cracked a bit for circulation); I sprinkled over the just painted areas. We worked fairly quickly. We worked our way out of the garage (brought garage opener), then once everything was covered, we put all the disposables in a large trash bag and put it in the dumpster, so we could walk in the house clean and be done. We used it for our smooth cement, fairly new garage floor in a 2,5 car garage. There was enough of mix, but just enough so. Someone here recommended to use a parmesan cheese container for sprinkling - great idea. Plenty of sprinkles created plenty of friction on the floor to prevent slipping. We live in Wilmington NC (high humidity), did our garage May 2017, and parked outside for about two weeks. Since then we have not had any issues with any damage to epoxy (no cracking, hot tire pick up, etc). The floor looks amazing!!!
