Wife already spoke about this, she wants to white gloss the pit planks :laugh:

When we do the doors in the house she can do them with the left over paint (thumbs)

I used stable matting in my garage heavy to move around but if it can take a horse it should take the abuse of a bike. But to cover your garage would of taken some money.

Nice job (thumbs)

cheers Spud ;)

If you are doing a new concrete floor be sure to let it dry thoroughly first. Depending on the depth, air flow, temperature etc. this could take anywhere from six weeks to six months.
Has anyone used the paint that they sell once a year in Aldi? The blurb on the tin makes it sound better than the stuff that you can buy from Wickes, Screwfix etc which tend to last me about three years before needing doing again.

I guess it comes down to how much you want to spend. The box store products are of course the least quality products available. Calculate how much you will have to spend on using several layers of that product. Some here have used those successfully.

Also, I have one question, if you don't mind,

These days my friend kept asking me not to play online games anymore, I was annoyed, I told her that online games are very good. But she doesn't agree. so can any professional give me special advice to convince her? Also found this Yukon Gold Casino, you can view it here https://bestcasinos-ca.com/reviews/yuko ... casino.php, Has anyone played this casino? I would like to hear what you think. Thanks in Advance.

Its a good bump....but also watch temperatures as these 2 pack products are sensitive to curing times and do not like sub zero temperatures for application. Once laid and cured they will with stand any temperatures. Preparation is everything. 90% of the work is done by the time you start painting it on.

Since I did this job it has lasted well and has not peeled off at all. I brought the product from a industrial paint center and advice was not to put to many layers as will flake off, prep is key to good job

Life has changed for me now since birth of first child last year so no longer go out on a motorbike, probably going to sell them all when I get round to it as new adventure is being a father

Any thoughts on sealing a screaded floor, just had the new bike living room built with a hand applied screed floor (or conservatory, as she likes to call it :) ) ... but needs sealing .....
