‘Do It Yourself’ Brewery Floor Coating – Part 6 – Safety

Production» DIY Brewery Floorposted Mar 16th, 2018 12:48:02PM by Stan Hieronymus

Epoxy has strong adhesive properties, chemical and heat resistance, and toughness. Do it yourself applicators should understand some of the risks of using epoxy products and know how to safely handle and apply these systems. (Refer to individual product instructions.)

‘Do It Yourself’ Brewery Floor Coating – Part 5 – Product application

Insure the floor is as dry as possible without any puddles of water present. If there is excess water on the substrate, take up excess with a suitable vacuum and wait until dry (as possible) condition exists. Then, after the material is thoroughly mixed, pour the material onto the substrate.

‘Do It Yourself’ Brewery Floor Coating – Part 4 – Repair tips and products

Production» DIY Brewery Floorposted Mar 16th, 2018 12:31:24PM by Stan Hieronymus

Epoxy floor coatings are measured in ‘mils’ (thousandths of an inch). A medium build epoxy coating system will cure at 7-15 mils. A high build epoxy coating system will dry at 20-35 mils. If you need to ‘level’ just ¼”, that would be 250 mils, so you can see why using an epoxy to make floor repairs or ‘level’ a floor would be impractical and expensive. Broom finish floors and rough surface floors can have surface variations of up to 1/8” (125 mils) and normally cannot be leveled by epoxy only. The term ‘self-leveling’ means that the epoxy will smooth itself out in most cases, at the thickness it is applied at.

‘Do It Yourself’ Brewery Floor Coating – Part 3 – Common floor types

Production» DIY Brewery Floorposted Mar 16th, 2018 12:22:56PM by Stan Hieronymus

New or unpainted/unsealed concrete: The floor must be properly prepared to accept the coating by one of the previous methods. Note: Newly poured concrete must ‘cure’ first. Moisture in the floor may cause coating failure. New concrete normally has to cure generally at least 30 days. Test any concrete to be coated by (as previously mentioned) taping a 4’ x 4’ sheet of clear plastic on the floor with duct tape. If moisture under the plastic sheet or floor dampness/darkening appears the next day, then do not coat yet. Older concrete with moisture issues can also create problems. If you have a continuing moisture problem then we recommend doing an inexpensive moisture test and using either a standard primer or a moisture barrier primer.

‘Do It Yourself’ Brewery Floor Coating – Part 2 – Surface prep options

Production» DIY Brewery Floorposted Mar 16th, 2018 12:16:18PM by Stan Hieronymus

Surface prep is the most important step of any coating project. An improperly prepped floor will result in either a failure, or shortened performance life of the floor covering. New or old concrete MUST be prepped before coating. There are two recommended methods for preparing your concrete floor for coating, the acid etching method, the mechanical method, or with a Flash Bonding Primer.
