25.01.2022 Concrete Porosity Test The floor covering industry utilizes substrate porosity tests. Could the resin flooring industry also benefit from these simple tests? I was reading the ASTM 3191-16 porosity test method as used and recommend for the floor covering industry. The test is simple enough and the concept of knowing that a surface is "porous" seems important, so why would the resin flooring industry not adopt the test or at least use it in conjunction with other methods for d...etermining a substrate is suitable and ready for coating. Below is a little variation of the test using three different test liquids. Technically I should have used a pipette with a single drop applied to the substrate but for the purposes of this discussion, the test method will suffice. #epoxy #epoxyflooring #epoxyresinflooring #concretecoatings #resinjack Take Care and Keep Smiling @resinjack https://www.resinjack.com//install/concrete-porosity-test/
23.01.2022 TODAY'S HUMBLE PIE EXPERIENCE Every now and then you get to eat humble pie. It is not pleasant and sometimes it can really sting but I have learned to reflect on it and look at how I can improve myself from the experience. What have been some of your valuable "humble pie" experiences?... Take Care and keep smiling Resin Jack https://www.resinjack.com//i/todays-humble-pie-experience/
20.01.2022 I came across a great article describing the difference between hard, medium and soft concrete. A great resource for anyone in the resin flooring industry. Keep smiling @resinjack... https://blog-bartellglobal-com.cdn.ampproject.org//what-ma

20.01.2022 Silverback series - Chris Norris- Flake Flooring I'm a firm believer that our industry will not evolve unless we learn from those that have years of experience. I affectionately refer to them as our silverbacks. On this occasion, I was invited out on a job site to see how Chris went about doing a flake flooring system in a residential double garage.... It is always good to see how the floor is done but whilst there I took the opportunity to ask Chris some questions around his planning at different stages of the project to see what insights we could learn from his experience. In this first video below, we discuss planning for the flake basecoat.

18.01.2022 Laboratory tests on bullet shells A resin flooring installer was having problems with their floor coating being able to withstand hot bullet shells on their new floors. I took the opportunity to shoot a video of the laboratory trial I recently completed... Interesting test. What simple tests have you had to do to prove a concept?...

18.01.2022 SILVERBACK SERIES - CHRIS NORRIS - FLAKE FLOORING I'm a firm believer that our industry will not evolve fully unless we learn from those that have years of experience. I affectionately refer to them as our silverbacks. In the final video below, we discuss Chris' choice in flake flooring system.... I learn something every time I go to a job site and speak to an installer. They've all had to learn many lessons the hard way, and, because there are value in those lessons, many installers are reluctant to share. Chris is one of those installers that understands the vision to "make resin flooring mainstream", and I want to thank him for sharing.

15.01.2022 INNOVATION IN RESIN FLOORING INDUSTRY Lots of people talk about being innovative but I have noticed a trend in the resin flooring industry when it comes to innovation. If the trend is right then we should be concerned. So what do you think? Do you agree or disagree with my take on what is happening in the industry?...

15.01.2022 Electric power trowels I just saw a post that showed a battery-powered trowel in use over a resin floor and it prompted me to do a quick post as I truly feel we don't use them enough in our industry. So back in 2007, I saw my first battery-powered trowel used for resin flooring. I thought it was great especially the battery models giving the installer freedom to work without cords. They were lightweight with no petrol engines putting out fumes.... I found a couple of different models that I included in the post to spark interest and some conversation around what models people have used and the pros and cons they learned from their use.

14.01.2022 CRACK REPAIR CHALLENGE - part 2 Crack repair is a bit of an art form when it comes to resin flooring. The repairs have to be quick, but they also have to be good enough to not reflect through in the finish, and strong enough to withstand potential impact damage. There are countless forms of crack repairing techniques available, but in this post I decided to take a quick look at 3 common ones for direct comparison purposes.... In the second video, I test a resin and sand fluid mortar, and a resin and thixotrope combination: Keep smiling @resinjack #epoxyflooring #epoxy #concretecoatings #epoxyresinflooring #resinjack To see the other videos, you can click on https://www.resinjack.com//install/crack-repair-challenge/ https://youtu.be/9EPVfQaM6Xg
13.01.2022 MIXTIDY PROTOTYPE MixTidy is a new development designed to give resin flooring installers a portable mix camp that enables them to mix clean. In the video below I demonstrate how it unfolds for immediate use and I also show how I would typically set up the mix tools etc as used for resin flooring. The purpose of showing you the prototype is because I would really appreciate your thoughts and feedback about the prototype. ... Feel free to add your comments below or send me a message if you would like to do so anonymously. PS. For the suppliers out there, I would also appreciate your thoughts about co branding the mixtidy.

05.01.2022 I like to help people and as a result, resin flooring business owners contact me with questions on their projects from all around the world. (It was actually the reason why I published an industrial flooring book on Amazon). I feel very lucky to get the inquiries as I like to solve problems. However, the interest is growing to the point where it is hard to service the inquires in sufficient detail so I wonder if there would be a benefit in having a more structured "project su...pport program". In simple terms, what I do is always the same. It is a systematic process to work through the project to cover the 5R's of successful resin flooring. The desired outcome is clarity, direction, and confidence to get the job done right the first time. So I am asking you for your thoughts. Would you benefit from such a program? If so, how would you value the program? What issues could you see with this type of program? I would really appreciate your thoughts... whether you put them in the comments below or send me a message.
