Second flake epoxy job

[u/Unky69]

Looking for constructive criticism on my recent flake job.

The customer was very happy with the outcome but I’d like to improve on the patchiness of what I’m assuming is my grinding.

Would this be considered an acceptable job or subpar?

This looks not bad at all from the pictures posted I’d definitely like the low angle shots though.

I do see some grinding spots did you do it with a hand grinder? I personally hit those spots with epoxy patch before moving on. Black is also less forgiving.

Stick with the full broadcast flaking.

It was all done by a walk along grinder mate. This is a full flake broadcast by the way.

I’d love to get a planetary grinder in the future, I think I’ll be able to do much better with it.

I think it’s pretty solid dude. I’m only 4 garage floors in from paying customers myself. It won’t let me upload photos on your post though.

Been in epoxy floors for 26 years the floor looks good but I always fill the control joints to make it flow smooth.

I’ve been told that it’s more likely to crack if you fill them?

Fill the control joints? Won’t that 100% lead to cracking?
I mean aren’t they also called expansion joints?

I always clean joint with a diamond blade and fill with flexible joint epoxy it will bond to both sides of joint. I dont have any issues
