Next up was the floors, we went with a metallic epoxy floor. The result was amazing.
After sanding and priming the floors (also track lighting was finally installed)

Outstanding!!!
Very interesting technique on the floor. I have to ask it appears when he is spreading the “gold” he is wearing spikes on his shoes obviously it is still wet at this time. Does the product naturally level and fill in those voids?

Very, very nice! Love the floor!
Yes, the epoxy naturally fills in and levels itself. There is about 40 minutes of working time before it becomes too sticky to work with. There is definitely an art to working with it.

I agree with Wheels. Beautiful room.

And the final product. I'll get some closeups of the floor. They still need to seal it so I didn't want to walk on it much.
Wow! Really impressive floors. I was not familiar with that.
I'm taking copious notes on your project for my future trophy room!

Hey Odinsraven. Is that post from Jefferry 404 legitimate? I don't know him. Thanks!

I have no idea the shipping cost from here to Costa Rica. I can do my research on shipping and get back with you later today.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
