@tangerinegreen555 Can you figure out what kind of epoxy was used? I have some floors I need to do.

No, the fuckers brought unmarked containers spray painted A & B. They used both in their mix. I'm sure they didn't make it from scratch, they probaby got it out of a 55 gal. drum at their location.

The owner came out with the contract last June and said his secret recipe was the best, better than Nature Stone, a company that runs nonstop TV commercials here. The guy I dealt with started in 1978.

But...all these epoxy stone companies are basically the same. The get bags of pebbles and mix them with a clear epoxy that dries to a glaze, that comes out looking like something that came out of a rock tumbler.

This is what they brought

extends out under doors to cover the remaining concrete right to paver stones. that part is still tacky and is 3/4 to 1" thick compared to inside 1/2". Outside pads sunk over the years and stone cover will take longer to set up out in the cold, up to twice as thick.

I think you could Google types of epoxy and find something maybe. And indoor applications would be less stressed than say a sidewalk or driveway, so the epoxy might not have to be the definitive best to hold up well and look good.

Won't the outside section allow moisture and humidity into the building through the permeable floor under the door? Wouldn't a sealed structure be better? Just curious. ..

I made a gravity bong out of a mountain dew bottle and a Tupperware container. It's like I'm a dumb teenager again.. My buddy shattered 2 oil rigs in the last week, his and my roommates, leaving this place with no way to dab. Being the shitty time of year it is, I'm broke, so I can't buy one. Maybe the fat red fucker will bring me one....yeah right..:roll:

I have a buddy that used to be a mason. He talked about different epoxies used in dams and other structural stuff.

Its probably nothing special. Just a two part epoxy. I'll research it and see what I can find. I like the look of it.

Please, let us know if you find out. I'll see what I can find. I'd like to put a channel in front of my garage doors for drainage, the pad shifted allowing water to drain back towards the door. This stuff wound be nice to fill it, rather than steel grates. Wonder if freezing water would break it apart? @tangerinegreen555
