RESTORE-A-GARAGE EPOXY TIP SHEET
- Do not apply if the temperature is below 55° F or above 85° F.
- All prior coatings must be removed or grinded off to adhere properly.
- Apply only when temperature and humidity are at their lowest point of the day. Avoid hot direct sunlight.
- You must wait at least 30 to 60 days for new concrete to cure.
- The Epoxy material should be at 70° F to 75° F before using it.
- No water or rain for at least 48 hours after applying.
- No car traffic within the first 48 hours after applying.
- Be sure to fill all large cracks, holes, and depressions prior to applying.
- A complete cure of the Epoxy coating is 24 to 48 hours at 65º F and less than 50% humidity. Do not close the garage door, walk on, or drive on until fully cured. Temperatures lower than 75° will result in longer cure times.

Applied RAG to basement floor approx 1 yr ago. Went great and looks good but have a few spots where some cracking occured due to furniture legs or something being dropped. Is there an epoxy touchup kit available? Trying to avoid having to buy an entire 1.5 gallon bucket as I need an extremely small amount. Thanks
Sorry but no, we do not have any touch up or smaller kits.
I have a 350 sq’ room I want to apply a white epoxy (2 coats) and for the 850 sq’ I want to apply a gray epoxy.
Which products and how many are needed for above?
Hello,
You would need 2 of the 3-Gallon Kits for each (white and gray) area. The White is 2 coats and the Gray is one kit, hence the double amount needed for the white.
Prep with the Etch and Clean. 2 Gallons:

Flecks if desired:
https://www.restore-a-garage.com/restore-a-garage-decorative-fleck
If I plan to do a full broadcast (saturation) of flakes on top of the epoxy and I want to put the clearcoat on top of the flakes, do I still need to sand the floor before applying the clearcoat?
Lightly scuff if longer than 18 hours after the epoxy was applied.
Square Footage of Area to be Restored: 1200 sq ft

You will a total of 8 of the 3-Gallon R-A-G Epoxy Buckets for this.
Will your epoxy coating bind to an old epoxy coated surface?
You have to grind off prior coatings when reapplying a different brand of epoxy.
Planning to re-coat a tired beige painted garage floor. Surface is on good shape, paint worn in areas. What prep besides washing and cleaning is best to use your epoxy coating? Since it is already beige, would you guess one coat or two? 2 1/2 car garage.
You will need to remove the current paint first. You cannot apply epoxy over paint.

I used the epoxy coat and flakes on a screen porch floor about 1o days ago. However due to the ridiculous time it took to brush the 24 foot perimeter, I assume the epoxy coat was setting up when I applied the flakes and they are stuck to the top surface of the epoxy and not sunk in. Can I apply the clear coat over this? It will be very spotty where I can sand the epoxy surface before clear coat as flakes cover most areas lightly or thickly.
Yes, you can use the top coat over it. Sand lightly for prep.
306 square feet, outside cement patio, partially covered
concrete 1 year old
baricade sealer applied
access to pressure washer.
I am wishing to apply beige color with chips. How long do you wait between first and second coats? When do you apply chips? Will this product work in Nebraska outdoors? Is it better to grind surface or etch with acid?
Please advise
Thank you
You cannot apply the epoxy over the sealer. You would have to remove that first. Grinding would be best. You apply the second coat as soon as the first coat is dry and no longer than 12 hours after drying. You apply the flecks as soon as you apply the second coat while it is still wet. Directions for application are here:
https://www.restore-a-garage.com/pdf/Restore-A-Garage-Epoxy-data-sheet.pdf
We will ask our chemist and get back to you if we have had a test on this done.
1. 3 car garage
2. 20 yr old concrete floor
3. Other brand coating about 8 yrs ago. Worn off etc
4. Some slight cracks
5. Will clean. Yes access to pressure washer.
Don’t want to “grind / scrape” off old coating. Is there a primer to use instead?
You have to remove old coatings that are failing so you will have to grind it off. You cannot use a primer before an epoxy coating.
Hi, I ordered my material (epoxy + top coat for concrete garage floor) a couple days ago and I am trying to figure out if it is necessary to add anti-slip (aluminum oxide additive) or not.
1. Will the epoxy (+top coat) be slippery eg when water spills?
2. Do you recommend adding anti-slip? If yes, why is it recommended to add it before the top coat (with the flakes) and not mix it directly with the top coat?
Thank you in advance.
1. Any coating that creates a film on a surface can be slippery if water is on it. Flecks will help with traction.
2. Most people do not bother with anti-slips. If you want to use it, broadcast it on top of the epoxy. You cannot add it to the epoxy or top coat as it can make the coatings too thick to apply.
Thank you. One more question: there is a capped drain (not sure what it’s called) in the middle of the garage floor. Should I epoxy over and cover it (mark its location so I have access to it later if needed), or should I epoxy around it (or put tape over it then remove tape after epoxy is applied)?
Do not cover it with epoxy. Go around it.
Thanks for the quick response!
150 SF Screen porch floor with broom finish. 50 years old. No previous coating. Have dining type table and chairs in porch. Would clean with power washer. Dirt and some mold in broom finish surface. No grease or oil besides possible past food spills. Concerned about the broom surface and chairs on surface.
Use the Etch for prep after cleaning: https://www.restore-a-garage.com/restore-a-garage-prep/restore-a-garage-etch-clean.html
You may need two coats if the broom finish is slightly rough.
Do you have a video showing how to apply
We do not but we do have easy to follow step by step instructions.
Is Restore a Garage recommended for inside a home as opposed to a garage?
My house was built on a concrete slab foundation in 1974 and we have a 200sqft entryway that is currently bare concrete.
It works great on all interior concrete.
Can I just put top coat on for protection?
Yes.
I plan to do a basement floor approximately 575 sq/ft. Beige. I plan on purchasing two 3 gallon buckets and clear top coat. One 3 gallon bucket won’t make it and it sounds like I can’t mix a portion of the second bucket to finish the first coat. So since the beige requires two coats, and the first coat won’t be dry before the rest of the second bucket hardens, how would I work two coats and not waste any material? Or should I purchase a 1.5 gallon bucket for the balance of the first coat and save the second 3 gallon bucket for the second coat? I don’t want to spend $$ on epoxy that will be wasted either.
Once mixed, it will last about 30 minutes so it is not possible to use any excess from the first batch for the second coat.
Yes, that’s what I was explaining. So what is the best way to pull that off? Is there a way to mix a portion of the 3 gallon bucket to finish the first coat without compromising the mixture? Or am I forced to purchase a 1.5 gallon bucket to complete the first coat?
No, it is not possible to break it down into smaller amounts for mixing.
Let me ask this another way. If I have 575 sq/ft to cover in beige, and since that covers 600-800 sq/ft., can I get away with two 3 gallon buckets and one coat instead of two and plan on using the full amount of epoxy however thick it ends up?
No. You will need a 3-Gallon and a 1.5-gallon for the first coat. The second will be the same amount or slightly less.
I have a new concrete slab, 810sqft, that a steel garage is going on.
it has been over 30 days and has a smooth finish. How much RAG do I need and also
how much top coat. This is going to be a auto hobby shop so cars and tool boxes will
be rolling on it. Any help will be great, I have been racking my brain on which DIY kit to use and just came across this site. Thank you.
A three-car garage kit does 600-800 sq feet. We would suggest one of these and then an additional 1.5-Gallon.
https://www.restore-a-garage.com/restore-a-garage-epoxy/restore-a-garage-3-car-epoxy-kit/flypage.tpl.html
https://www.restore-a-garage.com/restore-a-garage-epoxy/restore-a-garage-epoxy-1-5-gallon.html
For the top coat, you will need 2 of them:
https://www.restore-a-garage.com/restore-a-garage-epoxy/restore-a-garage-clear-top-coat/flypage.tpl.html
Make sure to etch to prep.

What are the requirements for surface prep on a new slab 1500 sq feet
https://www.restore-a-garage.com/Epoxy-Coating-Reviews-and-Tips/restore-a-garage-epoxy-help-questions.html
what is the dry time on the epoxy
A complete cure of the Epoxy coating is 24 to 48 hours at 65º F and less than 50% humidity. Do not close the garage door, walk on, or drive on until fully cured. Temperatures lower than 75° will result in longer cure times.
What is the time frame to dry the coat of epoxy before applying the clear coat?
Important Note: When applying the R-A-G Clear Top Coat over the Restore-A-Garage Epoxy Coating, we suggest lightly sanding the Epoxy coating with 100-120 grit sanding blocks/pads after it is fully dry. This will de-gloss the epoxy, create a good Epoxy surface profile and provide excellent adhesion for the R-A-G Clear Top Coat. You can avoid sanding by applying it 15-18 hours after applying the epoxy, but you risk the slight chance of the R-A-G Clear Top Coat separating from the R-A-G Epoxy.
Another couple of questions…
I received my epoxy kits yesterday (Thursday) and etched the 600 square feet of shop area. Your website shows NOT to apply if rain is expected within 12 hours after the application. The floor was etched at 6:00 PM Thursday. If I wait until the 24 hours after etch, can I safely apply the epoxy at 6:00 this evening if rain is expected at 8:00 PM? I assume this will cause a slow cure or will it cause other problems?
My second question is; since I etched Thursday PM, if you advise against epoxy application two hours before rain is expected, is it acceptable to apply epoxy a week after etch? The weather should be more accommodating this coming Thursday if the concrete will be okay 1 week after etch, or should I etch again before applying epoxy a week after etch?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
The directions state no rain for 12 hours after applying, not 2 hours.
You can apply a week after etch.
What you do not want is for the concrete to cool below 55 if the epoxy is not fully cured. This could potentially lead to outgassing and which creates small dots/craters on the surface. Might want to wait so you do not risk anything.
This is outgassing from your concrete that causes this. Please read this about the issue etc.
https://www.epoxycentral.com/blogs/epoxy-floor-coatings/why-are-there-bubbles-in-my-epoxy-flooring
Sorry but no idea and it is not related to the epoxy. It is something else.
How soon can I apply a second coat of beige and clear top coat ?
When applying the R-A-G Clear Top Coat over the Restore-A-Garage Epoxy Coating, we suggest lightly sanding the Epoxy coating with 100-120 grit sanding blocks/pads after it is fully dry. This will de-gloss the epoxy, create a good Epoxy surface profile and provide excellent adhesion for the R-A-G Clear Top Coat. make sure to vacuum well. You can avoid sanding by applying it 15-18 hours after applying the epoxy, but you risk the slight chance of the R-A-G Clear Top Coat separating from the R-A-G Epoxy.
The second coat of beige can go on as soon as the first coat is fully dry. If longer than 18 hours, you will need sand.
does the epoxy have a shine
Yes.
I have a new construction 3 car 745sqft garage. I will have to do this project myself. I am worried about purchasing the full three car garage kit and having it setup on me before I am able to apply the full coverage. should I be purchasing 3 single car garage kits? If so does this add a lot to my cost? Thanks
Just buy the kit and follow directions when mixing and applying.
Do you have any pics of light to medium gray epoxy with brown, black,tan flakes
We do not.
We applied a coat of dark grey yesterday with broadcast shark grip. There are some spots that didn’t quite get enough epoxy. Can we do a second coat if we sand down the first coat? If so, can we wait a week or two to do the second coat and what grit sand paper.
If recoating you should do it within 18 hours of the first coat otherwise you will need to scuff the surface for adhesion. Scuff by using a pole sander or a floor buffer with a sanding screen.
Thank you. Is it possible to broadcast sand instead of shark grip aluminum oxide?
Not really. It wouldn’t look very good as well.
We put down epoxy two almost three days ago and it is still sticky (showing foot prints when walked on). Epoxy only, no fleck or grip. The overnight temps have been in the low 50’s to high 40’s warming up to around 75-80 during tue day. Epoxy was installed at around 70 degrees. What might be the reason it’s not curing and still sticky? Or does will it just take more time due to overnight lows?
How did you prep this when you applied your second coat? it sounds like you may have not scuffed the original coating correctly and the new coating may not be adhering fully. Did you mix it exactly the same way as the first coat? Anything different?
We sanded the first coat with 80 grit. Mixed the same way for two minutes, nothing different. Application was the same. It’s also showing the line marks where we dumped the epoxy in lines on the floor to spread.
Hi,
Please answer these questions so we can give them to our team?
Did you remove the sand dust after sanding?
What’s the batch code on top of the containers?
Did you mix more than one kit at a time?
How did you mix it?
How did you apply it?
Over what type of substrate?
Also, add some pics.
Hi,
We applied over a previous application of RAG epoxy (applied one week prior) that we sanded down with 80 grit. Vacuumed and wiped any residue so floor was clean.
Mixed the new batch exactly like we did the previous time with paddle mixer. Only mixed one pale at a time.
Applied to floor by dumping entire contents of pale onto floor in lines as directed. Then used squeegees and back rolled with 1/4” nap rollers.
Batch numbers are: 042022 & 92022.
Just checked it again today and it no different, still quite sticky (day 5 after application).
What would be the best way to remedy this. If we sanded again, it may gum up the sander as it’s pretty sticky. Grind it all off and start again? If we did something incorrect we’d love to know so we get it right next time. We followed the directions closely. Otherwise maybe the batch ratios were off?
We will be adding flakes to the next application of this floor.
Thank you for your help!
Hi,
We talked to the chemist and the lab and there reply is below as to the issue:
“Something got mixed wrong.
Maybe when they mixed the second layer they interchanged the part B’s from the 3-Gallon standard kit and 1.5-Gallon mini kit when they blended them with the A’s. We can only speculate.
Nevertheless, epoxy will always cure when properly mixed at correct proportions.
At this point, this layer needs to be scrapped down as best as possible and the product needs to be reapplied.
Client/Installer needs to make sure that standard 3 gallon kit and mini 1.5 gallon kit are mixed separately.”
Thank you. We too think something was not right with the mixture. We only opened and mixed one pale at a time so there was no possibility of us mixing up the B pots. We mixed only what was sent in each pale.
Did you use both the 1.5 and 3 gallon for the second coat? And mixed them individually before applying?
Hi I purchased restore a garage epoxy kit with 3lb additive fleck.. now I would like to add more fleck than I planned.
Can I purchase additional fleck in lowes or home depot ? If so what kind of fleck matches with what i got with restore a garage kit ..
Note: I am unable to buy additional fleck as the cost of shipping is very high for ordering just fleck.
Any flecks should work but we have no idea what is carried at local stores.
I ordered a 3 gallon kit for 256 sq ft with no rinse etching. I followed directions exactly and had to work to get it to cover the 256. The last part I did was very light in coverage. The bucket seemed to be light on material once I added the hardener to the bucket. What can I do to get an even coverage now?
Hi Steve,
The ratios in the bucket are exact otherwise they would not mix correctly. So the issue was that either it was measured incorrectly or you applied it thicker than it should have been. For example:
3-Gallon Epoxy Kit coverage 380-480 sq. Ft. at 10 mils dft or 240 sq. Ft. At 20 mils dft (dry film thickness)
To reapply you need to scuff the surface by hand sanding to remove any shine with a pole sander. It will adhere to a dull surface.
Would I need another 3 gallons or would 1.5 gallons be enough since there is some material on the concrete already?
We would get the 3-gallon to ensure coverage and color is even.
I followed directions exactly and nowhere on the surface is close to 10mils of coverage. As I stated, it seemed that the amount of material in the bucket was light. Based on what the girl said that answered the phone, that can never happen so it must be my fault.
Our driveway leading up to the garage is asphalt. As I complete the etching process and rinse out the garage, will any residual etching product affect the asphalt? Do I need to protect the asphalt?
Yes, it is possible so protect and or rinse well right away.
I used a Rustoleum 2-part concrete patch repair kit. Can I use the restore a garage epoxy over it?
Yes.
I’ve seen videos where they do that.How can I achieve that look?
Not with our product. Adding anything to the epoxy can disrupt the chemical balance, potentially ruining it. We had a customer not too long attempt this and the epoxy hardened in the container in a matter of minutes. We do not suggest it.
See pic of customer adding blue pigment to the clear and not following directions.
I want to add white swirls to my Canadian grey. Do I need to mix my mica white with clear epoxy?
You cannot do this without affecting the chemical balance of the two components. It will most likely ruin the epoxy and harden up on you.
How does the epoxy coating hold up outside on the last 6-8 inches beyond the garage door?
You can do it but many people will stop at the garage door line. The main reason is it will fade over time when fully exposed to UV.
What all would i need to purchase? Building a new home. 3 Car Garage with a 2 car garage door. (30′ x 20′). it will be newly poured concrete cured for about 4-5 months during the build process. no sealers will have been applied. would like more of a satin sheen though.
Hello,
You need this for etching: https://www.restore-a-garage.com/restore-a-garage-prep/restore-a-garage-etch-clean.html
and this kit for 600 sq feet: https://www.restore-a-garage.com/restore-a-garage-epoxy/restore-a-garage-3-car-epoxy-kit/flypage.tpl.html
My garage floor extends out passed the garage door by about a foot. Is it alright for the epoxy and clearcoat to extend under and outside of the garage door? Or are there any special steps needed to avoid applying the epoxy and clearcoat outside of the garage door?
You can do it but many people will stop at the garage door line. The main reason is it will fade over time when fully exposed to UV.
There was an error in my order. I’ll call in the morning. Is there a way to edit it on this website?
Reply back from your order email and or call.
I plan on grinding and etching. Any problems rinsing the garage onto the asphalt driveway? Staining or damage? Trying to decide if I need to divert the rinse into the grass.
Best to divert not the grass and etch rinse. BTW, if you grind, you do not have to etch.
I’m confused by the stated sq/ft coverage. A 1.5 gal says 190-240. The 3 gal says 380-480. That is 570-720 total. However, the 2 car kit (3 gal and 1.5 gal kit) says 400-550. Your “floor measurement chart” says the 3 gal kit covers 200-350 and the 2 car kit says coverage is 400-550. Please clarify. Thank you.
Disregard. The 200-350 and the 400-550 are garage sizes, not coverage. My bad.
Correct.
How important is the clear top coat? Is it just for aesthetics or is there a wear and tear issue with the epoxy kits?
Both. Appearance and more protection if desired. Many people will use the top coat after a few years to add protection then if needed.
The approximation for the “Garage Kits” is on average for the size of the garage and the coverage for each kit. Everything also varies based on how thick you apply it.
What is the sq footage that you are looking to cover?
400 sq/ft.
You would want the two-car kit or one 3-gallon and one 1.5-gallon.
I have used your Restore-A-Deck products with great results. I have a 1100 sq ft shop that was built 6 years ago. They cut joints into the concrete that now has quite a bit of debris and oils in it. I was told that clothesline rope could be used to fill the joints then epoxy over. Would this compromise the strength of epoxy coat? Also have a lift in shop and have oil stains in this area. What would be the best way to prep this area? Thanks.
The clothesline should not compromise the epoxy. Use this first to clean the oils:
https://www.restore-a-garage.com/restore-a-garage-prep/restore-a-garage-cleaner-degreaser.html
Then this after to etch: https://www.restore-a-garage.com/restore-a-garage-prep/restore-a-garage-etch-clean.html
Square Footage of Area to be Restored: 264 sqft
Approximate age of concrete: 10-30 years
If applicable, has a previous coating been used before: carpet was glued down
Any oil or grease spills: no
Do you have access to a pressure washer: yes
Miscellaneous info: Carpet was glued down. I am renting a grinder to grind off the adhesive. Would I still want to use your etch & clean after grinding? And does the epoxy come in a satin finish? The client is worried about the high gloss being slippery. Is it possible to add #5 sand to help with traction?
No need to etch if you grind off first. The epoxy only comes in one level of shine but you can top coat it for added protection and that comes in gloss or satin. https://www.restore-a-garage.com/restore-a-garage-epoxy/restore-a-garage-clear-top-coat/flypage.tpl.html
You cannot add sand to the epoxy.
Do you offer the epoxy coating in a satin sheen option? I’m looking at coating a concrete slab under a screen porch, and the client doesn’t want a high gloss finish or for it to be too slippery.
The epoxy only comes in one level of shine but you can top coat it for added protection and that comes in gloss or satin. https://www.restore-a-garage.com/restore-a-garage-epoxy/restore-a-garage-clear-top-coat/flypage.tpl.html
Hi there,
My garage is 22X22, old concrete about 35 years old. I tried the HomeDEpot so called epoxy and realised it does not work. I have grinded the floor to remove the old paint, etched and is now drying. How much epoxy will I need and do you have detailed step by step instruction on how to do this. I am all by myself doing it, any tips will be of hep.
Thanks you in advance
This kit should work for your two car garage: https://www.restore-a-garage.com/restore-a-garage-epoxy/restore-a-garage-epoxy-combo-kits/restore-a-garage-2-car-epoxy-kit/flypage.tpl.html
Directions are on the containers and the website. Not hard to do.
I did the epoxy coating but the floor was etched way too much. Some places are great but some are rough and am scared once I park my car it might peel off. Shall I apply on those places which look rough!!
You may need an additional coat or the top coat to help level it out better if over etched.
I shall add the additional coat and once all done shall see what the final finish is and then order for the top coat if required. Thanks for your help.
After the first coat is completed and dry, can a vinyl decal be applied and then an epoxy top clear top coat to the whole floor?
We have never tried it but it should work in theory.
