Dropped screws - I can tell you - you get down on all fours and get your cheek about as close to the floor as possible and try - try - to see it from the side. It's amazing how hard those suckers are t find on flake epoxy floors.

And thanks to the OP for the insights.

I was very happy with mine, especially wiping up the occaisional drip from my 911 - it was completely impervious to oil.

But my lessons learned:

My 3 part epoxy floor failed after maybe 5 years. Not horribly, but in places it began to either de-laminate or - in some places - a dropped tool "cracked" it and it eventually peeled a bit in those spots. I think my surface prep was part of the problem, but at the time I thought it was perfect. it was a 20 year old floor, which was part of the problem, and I've since been told I should have used a better primer.

Another issue (besides lost screws) that I didn't care for was that it was slick. I could be wearing brand new tennis shoes, and if there was any standing water it was slick as hell. Cleaning it was a joy, but I bought a 3' wide double sponge squeegee to make sure I got all standing water off of it in a hurry. I thoughtt he flakes would take care of that, but since they were under a clear coat I've since learned I should have added one of three of the different grits they offer just for this reason.

If I had a new garage slab I was do it again in a heart beat. But I've recently paid to ground off all the epoxy, and I'm considering a porcelain tile this time.
