If you’re trying to find a quick and easy way to apply a floor coating, DIY epoxy kits are your best bet. They cost a few hundred dollars at their most expensive as opposed to the pricier amount professionals would ask for. DIY epoxy kits help to elevate the appearance of your concrete floors through covering imperfections, like little cracks, as well as serve as a measure to protect against stains.
DIY epoxy kits won’t adhere if you don’t have the floor prepped properly. You need to have a smooth surface free of oil stains, moisture, and grease in order to ensure that it will stick properly. At the minimum, when you’re getting your concrete floor ready for epoxy, you need to make sure that it has been cleaned and acid-etched. If you have cracks, you will likely want to fill them, so that the epoxy sticks better.
