Regarding "levelling comound read smoothing", I beg to differ - the cementatious latex levelling compounds are sufficiently thin that they are significantly affected by gravity and therefore do level, rather than smooth. This is not necessarily a good thing as your garage may not itself be level and you may end up with rather more thickness than you'd like in some areas.
I have used gritted epoxy on top of a cementatious latex levelling compound in my workshop. Now, this is against the "data sheet" advice for the epoxy as such levelling compounds don't have great stability. However, the epoxy manufacturer stated that it may be satisfactory for areas that don't get heavy traffic and I have not had any problems so far. I'm not sure I'd like to risk it with a garage though. I absolutely concur that using ungritted epoxy somewhere that oil can be is a really bad idea. I did that with my previous workshop and arrived rather suddenly on the floor often enough to make sure I didn't make the same mistake with the new workshop! Also, for a garage, a level floor isn't necessarily what you want as a gentle fall keeps water heading away from where you want to be under the car, whereas a dead level floor leaves puddles until they evaporate or you mop them up (I know this because my grandfather was a perfectionist and had a flat and level floor to his garage). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
