Howdy Jim. This doesn't exactly answer your question
-- and you have hopefully already addressed this --
but here is something that you may wish to consider.
I have done a little reading on this subject. The one
thing that is preventing me from applying epoxy is the
apparent absence of a vapor barrier under my slab.
Moisture comes UP through the concrete which would
inevitably cause an early break down in the bond
between the epoxy and the concrete. A minimum of two
months cure time is ideal (if you can wait that long).
I don't really know what the SOP is for pouring a slab
these days. Plastic barriers have been in use for
years but I don't know that it is "code."
Of course all of this will vary depending upon weather
conditions. The rainfall here is one of the highest
in the state. And despite a deep French drain
encircling the house, I still get moisture rising
through the slab during wet months.
Keep us posted on your progress (post photos to your
site). Good luck and take care,
-D
