Garage Floor Epoxy That Actually Works | Built for DIYers, Painters, and Handymen
Stop Wasting Time on Kits That Fail
If you're here, there's a good chance you've seen what happens with big box epoxy kits. Peeling. Hot tire pickup. Thin coatings that wear out in months. Most store bought kits are closer to reinforced enamel paint than a true industrial coating.
One Stop Epoxy gives you a true industrial grade, two component epoxy coating that actually stays put.
This system was engineered to bridge the gap between cheap DIY kits and complex contractor systems. It delivers a professional grade bond and a clean, high gloss finish without requiring specialized equipment or a large crew.
Why This Epoxy Kit Outperforms Big Box Store Options
Real Epoxy Chemistry: Not a watered down latex epoxy hybrid. This is a true cross linking resin system.
Superior Bond Strength: Penetrates the concrete pores to prevent delamination and hot tire pickup.
Industrial Build: Significantly more material remains on the floor compared to thin, hardware store alternatives.
No Pouch Guesswork: Comes in real cans. Mix with a drill and you have a professional grade material ready to roll.
The difference comes down to how much actual epoxy is in the coating.
Many store bought kits are diluted with water and fillers, leaving behind a thin coating that wears out quickly. This system contains approximately 58% epoxy solids, which means significantly more actual resin is left behind to create a thicker, stronger bond to the concrete and a finish that holds up over time.

Installation Process
Step 1: Surface Preparation
Bare concrete should be at least 30 days old and free of grease, dirt, and oil.
Test for moisture: Tape a 2 foot by 2 foot plastic sheet to the floor for 24 hours. If moisture forms underneath, address the moisture issue before coating.
Test for sealers: Pour water on the slab. If it beads up instead of soaking in, the surface needs additional prep.
For previously painted floors: Remove all loose or peeling paint by sanding or scraping. Dull glossy surfaces with sandpaper. Do not acid etch painted surfaces.
Step 2: Mixing (Critical Step)
Open both cans and mix the contents of each separately before combining.
Pour Part B into Part A. Mix with a low speed drill and mixing paddle for 4 minutes.
Scrape the sides of the container while mixing. Do not whip air into the product.
Induction Time: Allow the mixed epoxy to stand for 30 minutes before application. Skipping this step can affect product performance.
Step 3: Application
Best applied between 55 and 90 degrees. Use a brush for edges and a roller for the main floor.
Apply in manageable sections to maintain a wet edge.
If using flakes, broadcast them into the wet epoxy while the coating is still fresh.
On bare concrete, two coats are recommended for maximum durability and appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 58% epoxy solids actually mean?Solids content refers to how much material remains on the floor after the coating cures. While big box kits are mostly water and fillers, our 58% solids system leaves behind a much thicker, more durable resin film.
Why do cheaper kits peel or fail?Low solids coatings sit on top of the concrete rather than bonding into it. A higher solids epoxy penetrates and anchors into the concrete, creating a bond that resists hot tire pickup and pressure.
Do I really need to wait 30 minutes after mixing?Yes. This is called induction time. It allows the chemical reaction to stabilize before you apply it to the floor. Skipping this step can lead to curing issues.
Is this as strong as 100% solids epoxy?100% solids is the commercial standard. This system is a professional grade balance between extreme durability and ease of installation for DIYers, handymen, and painters.

One Stop Epoxy Urethane WB | Interior Topcoat for Epoxy Floors
One Stop Epoxy Urethane WB is a professional grade water based urethane designed for high performance interior flooring. While modern coatings like Slow Go Polyaspartic and Premera T2 offer advanced speed and clarity, this Water Based Urethane remains the premier choice for occupied residential and commercial spaces where low odor and cost efficiency are the top priorities.
Engineered for installers who need a forgiving application window without the heavy chemical smell typical of high solids polyaspartics, this urethane provides a durable, reliable finish for metallic, solid color, and flake systems. It is the perfect balance for projects that demand a professional interior result on a budget conscious scale.
Choose this topcoat when low odor and application control are paramount for your interior environment.
Where This Product Fits in Your System
This protective finish is designed to lock in your decorative system and provide reliable wear resistance:
Topcoat for Metallic Dream Epoxy
Seal coat for solid color epoxy floors
Topcoat for partial flake systems
Protective finish over 100% solids epoxy
Grind and seal applications directly on concrete
Pro Note: While this urethane is highly durable for standard use, for industrial environments, heavy manufacturing, or areas subject to constant forklift traffic, we recommend the Labfender Polyurethane System.
Mixing and Application Instructions
Step 1 Pre Mix
This product features a 3 to 1 mix ratio (three parts resin to one part catalyst). This is a water based product, settlement is normal and expected. Blend the bucket of BASE (Part A) for 1 minute before pouring into a larger bucket and combining with activator.
Step 2 The Blend
For 1 Gallon Kits: Pour Part A and Part B into a larger mixing bucket and blend for 2 minutes using a paddle mixer.
For 2 or More Gallons: When mixing multiple kits together (up to 4 gallons in a 5 gallon bucket), you must use a Box Mixer and blend for 2 - 3 minutes to ensure a complete chemical reaction.
Step 3 Application
Pour the mixed material 1 - 1.5 gallons at a time into an 18 inch paint tray. While wearing spiked shoes and using a 1/4 or 3/8” nap epoxy roller (ensure the roller is de-shedded prior to use), load your roller and cover an area 4 ' x 4' rolling out the material in a "M" pattern left to right, then a "W" pattern right to left, leaving no roller lines behind. For large areas Multiple people should work this pattern loading the floor as one "Finisher" walks side to side back rolling the material over lapping by 2 inches with each pass. Do not wait to back roll as the product can tack over quickly and roller pickup may occur
Small Projects: You may utilize a paint tray and dip and roll using a 1/4 or 3/8” nap epoxy roller (ensure the roller is de-shedded prior to use). To avoid roller lines, you may backroll the floor before the product becomes tacky.
The "Orange Peel" Mitigation Tip
To achieve a professional, smooth finish and eliminate the "orange peel" texture typical of standard urethanes, add 12 ounces of water per kit into the initial mix. This improves the flow and leveling characteristics, resulting in a significantly smoother, more consistent surface reflection.
⚠️ ENVIRONMENTAL WARNING: Do not apply in direct sunlight or on sunbaked surfaces. Additionally, do not apply with air blowing directly on the floor from fans or HVAC systems. Moving air will cause the coating to skin over before it has a chance to properly lay down, leading to permanent surface defects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get roller lines if I use this urethane topcoat?Roller lines are almost always a result of improper application technique. To ensure a uniform finish, it is critical to use an 18-inch roller for your main floor area. This provides equal down pressure across the entire surface, preventing the "squeeze lines" commonly caused by 9-inch roller frames. Use a 9-inch roller only for detail work along the edges.
Do I need a primer if I am doing a "Grind and Seal" directly on concrete?If you apply urethane directly to raw concrete, expect to apply multiple layers as the porous slab will "drink" the material. To prevent an uneven finish and save on material costs, we highly recommend first applying our One Stop WB Primer. This seals the concrete and provides a consistent foundation for the urethane.
How do I stop my urethane from having an orange peel texture?Standard urethanes are thick. By adding 12 ounces of water to your mixed kit, the product thins just enough to level out perfectly, eliminating almost all orange peel characteristics for a much smoother finish.
Is this product suitable for a warehouse with forklifts?While this urethane is very scratch resistant, it is designed for foot traffic and light vehicular use. For industrial environments with constant forklift traffic, our Labfender Polyurethane is the recommended system.
Why is sanding required after 24 hours?After 24 hours, the surface becomes too smooth for a chemical bond. Sanding creates a mechanical profile that allows the new layer to anchor securely to the previous one.
Can this be used for outdoor concrete?No. This is an interior topcoat. For exterior patios or driveways, use a specialized exterior-grade breathable sealer designed to handle moisture movement through the slab.
Can I apply this over a previous coating?The surface must be thoroughly cleaned and mechanically sanded to ensure a proper bond. Applying over an old coating without proper mechanical preparation will likely result in delamination.
What is the effect of high humidity on application?Humidity above 75% can slow the evaporation of water from the coating, which may cause a cloudy or "milky" finish. It is best to maintain a controlled interior environment during the cure.
