Yes it’s much cheaper to hire the grinder at $1500 a day. I was planning on filling the expansion joint to make it flat. Assume if the epoxy is going to go down as thin coating after grinding I can just a thick tape to make the join. Re: Sealing and epoxy coating moist garage floor 4Jul 05, 2019 6:50 pm Is the concrete in really bad condition? Does it need to be ground? I guess it depends on what you are planning to do with the space. I just wanted it nice and clean. It stops concrete dust getting into the house and is easy to sweep out. It's also easy to clean up any spills and won't stain. I didn't even bother filling the expansion joints.

And a few small areas I can patch. The main purpose is to have a cleaner looking floor which is easy to clean and stops the moisture coming through.

The one I applied is used in aircraft hangars and automotive workshops. It came from an industrial coatings supplier rather than Bunnings. I was concerned that it might be slippery as it is very shinny however we've had no issues even when it's wet You can seed it with silica beads when you apply it to make it non-slip, however it is harder to keep clean then.
