Removal of epoxy paint on a concrete pool is somewhat difficult which is why it's use on concrete or gunite is not recommended. You have two choices, the first is to have it sandblasted off, and the second is hand sanding. Most sand blasting contractors have experience with the process so instruction isn't necessary. The cost should range between $1,200.00 and $1,400.00. Hand sanding is labor intensive, but the cost is substantially less. Two men working for a full 8 hour day can complete about 900 square feet of surface area. Dust masks and goggles are mandatory along with angle grinders and 24 grit sanding pads. Use of any other tool or grit will double or triple the time required.

Can you pour concrete on a concrete floor with an epoxy coating?

You must remove the old epoxy coating before pouring the new floor, for otherwise there will be no bonding. If the epoxy coating is thin (e.g, paint) then it may be possible to remove it by hand sanding. If it is a thick coating, then sandblasting is probably the best method. In either case, appropriate dustmasks and other safety precautions are essential. Good luck


Will muriatic remove epoxy paint on concrete?

Yes! The muriatic acid will remove epoxy paint on a concrete floor. Usually the epoxy paint will bubble up and will require a flat-blade or wire brush to full remove and.... repeat as necessary. be sure to nuetralize the floor when finished with (1pound of baking soda to 5 gallons of water). I got this reference from http://foundationarmor.com and it worked!


How can epoxy be used to effectively bond concrete to concrete?

Epoxy can effectively bond concrete to concrete by creating a strong adhesive bond between the two surfaces. The epoxy resin is applied to the concrete surfaces, where it fills in the gaps and creates a strong connection as it cures. This helps to improve the overall strength and durability of the concrete structure.


Is epoxy stronger than concrete?

Epoxy is generally stronger than concrete in terms of tensile strength and resistance to chemicals and wear. However, concrete is better at withstanding compressive forces.

What are the best practices for using epoxy glue for concrete repairs?

From my own experience, using epoxy glue for fixing concrete really comes down to preparation and patience. When I had to deal with concrete repairs in Westmead, I learned a few best practices that made a big difference. First, surface prep is everything. You need to make sure the cracked or damaged area is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose particles. I usually scrub it down and, if needed, rinse and let it dry completely before applying epoxy. Second, mixing the epoxy properly is crucial. Most come in two parts (resin and hardener), and they need to be mixed in the right ratio. I always mix small batches so it doesn’t harden before I can apply it. Third, apply the epoxy quickly but evenly. I use a putty knife or small trowel to push it deep into cracks. For structural cracks, sometimes I even use injection kits for better penetration. Finally, curing time matters. Don’t rush it – epoxy needs time to fully harden and bond. In my case with concrete repairs Westmead, leaving it undisturbed for the recommended curing period gave the strongest results.
