Do-It-Yourself Epoxy
Do-It-Yourself epoxy kits are readily available at local hardware and paint stores. These kits are designed for amateur applicators because they are inexpensive and have a long pot life.

This is surprising because assessing concrete moisture is one of the most important pre-installation steps. The Problem with Moisture One of the most common problems associated with the peeling …
