(2 years ) I did do mine different though. On top of what the instructions said I diamond ground my floor first then acid washed and then coated. Couple tips if you are going to do it yourself. 1st when your rolling it on don't mash the roller really hard on the floor. Instead keep the roller wet so that you don't have lines. 2nd the more flakes the better. The more flakes you have down will hide the variances if there is any. Also if you will dump all the small powdery stuff out of the flakes and discard it looks better. When applying the flakes I found that if you take a handful and bounce it off the ceiling it will come down in a wider pattern and look more consistent. If you have and old pair of golf shoes that are spiked or any type of spiked shoe you can coat the floor and then walk on it with the spikes when adding the flakes and you wont see where you walked.</p></blockquote><p></p>
