In reply to Patti. Hi Patti. It's nothing to worry about. The primer and/or moisture-blocking coats are sometimes referred to as the "ugly coat". They prevent any additional coats from developing bubbles or other cosmetic issues that can occur with the first coat. The bubbles will not affect the performance.

I’m in the process of getting a polyurea/polyaspartic garage coating done. The moisture mitigation product applied (citadels Ulta hydro stop) developed tons of air bubbles. It dried rock hard but I’m concerned the air bubbles trapped will affect the performance of the product. I tried contacting the manufacturer but they don’t respond. Your thoughts?

In reply to Olivia. Hi Olivia. We are not familiar with the installers in your area. However, we have a informative article here that discusses how to choose a garage floor coating contractor. It includes links to other information you should know about as well. I hope it helps.

Hello,
Thank you for your very informative article. No one is handy in our houses so we definitely need to hire a company that does the commercial grade garage floor costing. Would you be able to recommend companies that we can call? We just bought a house in Las Vegas. Looking forward to hear ftom yiu soon! Thank you

In reply to Veronica Gruppo. Hi Veronica. Yes, RockSolid is part of Rust-Oleum's line and is compatible with the Garage and Interior Primer. However, RockSolid is not 20x stronger than epoxy. They are actually comparing it to 1-part epoxy paint and not a true epoxy coating. You can read our RockSolid review here. Regardless, it's a very strong coating.

Hello Shea, I have been reading a lot about concrete floor coatings! The article that you referred me to was great but I still had one question…
“One key point we want to make is that this product is best used for the typical single coat DIY garage floor kits (not including clear coats) that you can find at your local home improvement centers or other online retailers such as Amazon. Rust-Oleum EpoxyShield and RockSolid are good examples.”
The RockSolid product looked to be much better since Rust-Oleum says it is 20X stronger than epoxy. Since it is a polycuramine and not an epoxy, is it still a good choice to use with Rust-Oleum’s Garage & Interior Floor Primer (without etching or grinding my new concrete floor that contains a sealer)? I’m hoping you say Yes! Many thanks, Veronica
