Well the enzyme came in and we hired a guy with a small tractor with a tiller to try and grind up the shop floor. After about 6 hours we told him to just level it out as best he could so we could apply the agent to it. It would have probably taken him another 2 days to ever get is fully pulverized like I would have preferred it but he did a fairly good job considering how unyielding those clods were.
After leveling it out as best he could we applied the mixture then rolled it out.
My business partner is more of a desk jockey and bean counter so his conception of real world applications leaves much to be desired at times since he goes about things methodically haram-scarem His wife is some kind of molecular bio genetics engineer and thinks she knows all there is to know about how chemicals react which may be true in a laboratory when dealing with the brains of a rat.
In the real world though there are a lot more things that must be taken into account I have enough civil engineering experience to know when the strata you are trying to work with has near zero moisture content that it takes much more liquid and a lot longer time for things to properly absorb.
We applied the recommended amount of mix per sq ft then tilled it in and rolled it out. The temperature was dropping quite rapidly by the time I called it quits at 10PM that night. Not having a sheep foot roller just a probably means there are trapped voids but hopefully it will be alright in the long run.
The next morning my partner and his wife both conferred that we probably should have taken a couple more days to bring the moisture content up to some workable level to the fill would have absorbed the mix better. So what the heck with it getting a cool as it had the night before we figured the enzyme mix setting up rate had probably been retarded enough to allow us to apply a 2nd application then I spent all day rolling it out again with a 4 wheel drive pickup.
Folks it is what it is now good or bad but the floor is so hard that there is an echo in the shop when you walk across it
So while waiting for the floor to cure as much as possible I decided to make a tool rack for my combination wrenches ranging from1/4 through 2 1/2" with multiples of most
