This EPOXYShield Basement Floor Kit from Rust-Oleum was developed to assist basement remodelers; adding a protective layer of epoxy that helps the walls and flooring resist staining and wear.

This will not keep a leaky or wet basement dry on its own, for that, any do-it-yourselfer will need to make sure anything that can be done to prevent water or sewer seepages has already been done so, before applying EPOXYShield Basement Floor Coating, because this stuff is not cheap for the environment or the wallet.

Epoxy resins in general are one of the best adhesives around, one of the few that can be used on metals, as protective coatings they are much more reliable, and are now used widely in electronic circuit boards, as well as patching holes in concrete or pavement, like wet basements.

This stuff is even used in plywood shipbuilding, like Arthur Pivers Trimarin designs (nothing holds a plywood marine craft together better than epoxy); but its a Petroleum based product and thisstuff will take at the very least 10 generations (200 years) to compost in a landfill, so use it wisely please!

Everyone dreams about turning their basement into a living space or working space, and EPOXYShield Basement Floor Kit was designed to do exactly that, as long as it is used properly and safely as the very fumes of this stuff can cause serious health risks if not applied correctly, so read the safety sheet that comes with any epoxies you may aquire.

EPOXYShield Basement Floor Kit comes with two-part water-based epoxy coating, decorative chips, detailed instructions and a stir stick, its tintable to 32 different colors, with a satin finish (gray (product # 203007) and tan (product # 203008) are made ready by Rust-Oleum) and the finished coat should always be cleaned with soap and water.

EPOXYShield can use multiple coats, but it will not prolong the life of service, it is applicable over fiberglass and reinforced concrete, but fibers should be burned cautiously without sanding and if used outside, the epoxy may chalk, fade or lose gloss when exposed to UV light, so if you have a saltwater aquarium, find a way to protect your basement floor from those reef lights.

Weighing 13 pounds and covering approximately 250 square feet, EPOXYShield Basement Floor Kit is an excellent way to leave a dry satin finish that resists stain and wear, generation after generation for a more durable and hopefully, sustainable, tomorrow.
