My kickstand on the 800 pound bike doesn’t even dent it. There are 144 ponts underneath each 1 sq. foot tile that touch the ground. No way it will give. If you want to see it in person, let me know. Which ones did you get? They have a couple styles there. ---

hrm. I’ll have to look into that. I am considering those in grey, and then the perforated ones ([http://www.floorjunkies.com/garage-flooring/blocktile-perforated-garage-floor-tiles-1-sq-ft-black.html](http://www.floorjunkies.com/garage-flooring/blocktile-perforated-garage-floor-tiles-1-sq-ft-black.html)) where the wheels would go to help with snow removal and issues. I do get water in my garage, but it usually goes out the drain area in the garage, so I need to keep it open. ---

I just park my bikes so water isn’t an issue for me. If I were parking snowy cars on it, I’d have to use different tiles. Mine do get a bit slippery when wet. The ones your looking at would work well. ---

unless he put the clear on too soon he did it in near perfect conditions. fairly low humidity and it was over 70 degrees, it wasnt a weather related issue. edit: unless there was an induction time for the epoxy to catalyze and it was applied before it called for. ---

Hey PM me with what you have to offer in epoxy coats. I want to do my garage floor soon. > [@ieatpaint315](#): > > That sucks to hear you’re having that many problems but the epoxy I sell wouldn’t have done that 😉 I just sold a floor to a farm equipment dealer in springville that’s going to have huge tractors and shit on it.

there is lots of good info in this thread! I did epoxy on my garage floor and it came out great but was a lot of work. I really like the look and cost of that floorjunkies stuff ---

looks like it’s be about $1200 to do my garage, not factoring in shipping with the Floor Junkie stuff. might be a little cost prohibative right now, or I could always start with one space at a time and see how I like it. ---

I keep buying a little at a time as I get the $$$. I just have a single car garage I am putting it in. I’ll order the rest next week and I should be wall to wall with it. ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > I didn’t even pay that much for the hardwood floors in my house! lol, yup. ill go broke trying to do my large 2car with that stuff. I think ill have to look into the sams club stuff or the epoxy that ieatpaint recommends. both seam to be a fair alternative even though one is infact epoxy. hmmmm ---
