I have decided I am going to do the whole unit floor, I will then be able to do some kind of walk through the unit introduction and conclusion in my videos......it should be quite impressive for the billies (along with imperial leather soap) in the toilets Good choice, it can only enhance what has already been done and that looks great IMHO... Doing the "handover area" in the doorway will make it look great.. Maybe come up the walls 6" if you can be bothered, it'll keep dust right down.. They do some floor application tools for doing a large area's, or yard brush handle with 2' of wood secured to the end will help apply it in no time. I think you can get soap molds, soap on a rope etc.. all great winter projects... Just need some printed £20 note toilet paper... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arfur Dealy 823 Posted October 15, 2018 Thanks A51, I’m gonna do it myself in three separate applications, this’ll reduce disruption. 3 minutes ago, EPV said: Don't be putting imperial leather in the bogs, they'll know you're having four figs across every car.

Good man on the Aldi copy summat with a bit of "roughage" in; and ralgex the bog seat, stop them getting comfy.. PS - check out drying times of the epoxy in colder weather.. Might help to warm the tin before application, they can go thick - quick!

I can then rotate the cars without too much disruption 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Area 51 33 Posted October 15, 2018 Understood ohh wise one, that'll work a treat - going to look good.. those vinyl printing shops can do some superb posters, any shape or size!! Was thinking of a couple of strictly dancers; legs n big heels etc although thinking about; probably... upset Mrs Billy when viewing .... You'll be doing the man cave between Xmas and NY...

Mark101 536 Posted October 18, 2018 Can I ask a cheeky question? How much? What size is your unit? I have 1600sq ft and the grey floor paint that was already down (fresh but just cheap crap) is already starting to lift (as I knew it would). Trying to work out cost pro rata from what it will cost you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had that at my old unit, you will have to steam clean all that shite off first and then use a good quality (non Pikey), concrete floor paint / sealer, otherwise if you just go over it again it will continue to lift Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let it dry properly and give it two coats. https://www.resincoat.co.uk/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
