If you don’t put a sufficient amount of time into your prep work, then your garage floor will not work. The problem with epoxy paints is that there are too many things and complications. To ensure that your epoxy s well with your floor then you will need to follow some precautions.

Before you start anything, you need to do some surface preparation to be clean. If there are any chemical or oil stains on the concrete, make sure they are removed. If there is any part of your garage floor stained with any product, then the epoxy paint will not bond to that location. You have to make sure your garage floor is completely dry. What’s so possible there is no moisture coming in contact with your floor. Even if your floor appears dry, it may still contain moisture. One way to check for hidden moisture is to take a piece of plastic to a portion of your floor and wait for a few days. If you watch the water near the edge of the ice, then you know there is water coming from the concrete which will significantly affect the epoxy. Also if the floor is painted before, then all paint must be removed even if you have ground down to the floor to do it.
