I am going to use the rolling glass doors with the little wheels because the glass will be about 42” wide on each side. I am not sure now if I will order from Outwater, as the 12’ length is a problem to ship. They might cut it down to eight feet so UPS can ship it, but I am going to call every glass and mirror shop around and see if I can get it locally. The shipping uncut would be over $150.00!
Here’s a link to the track I was planning on using- MT39-SG

Behr 1-part Epoxy Acrylic Concrete & Garage Floor Paint.



This paint is suppose to be used on porous concrete and goes on very thin. If you use three coats on wood, it makes a nice thick plastic-like coat of paint. It actually is not that great for concrete, in my experience. I use the Kilz stuff first on everything. I actually paint the wood before, during and after I put the parts together, so the floor was painted apart from the walls and back. I will paint the floor with the epoxy and then put stick on tiles for the floor. Even though they are stick on, I use a big fat sqiggly zig zag line of extra glue (regular white Elmers-like wood glue) and then I caulk the edges with the cheap white stuff.

This is the primer I use-



These products seem to dry in about twenty minutes with very little fumes. I generally use what I have left over from house projects without much thought about off gassing, compatibility and all that. This cage will probably sit empty for a couple of months before I put something in it anyway.

I’ll follow up when I have the glass doors installed, if anybody is interested.
