4
Ensure Your Floor Is Suitable for Epoxy
The first step you have to do is to check
moisture. For this, you need a plastic garbage
bag and place it on all four sides of the floor
for 24 hours. After 24 hours, lift the garbage
bag softly to see if moisture is accumulated or
not. If its completely dry, then your floor is
perfect for epoxy coating. However, if there has
been moisture, then your floor is not
appropriate for epoxy. In the next step, you need
to check for indications of a concealer on the
concrete. All you have to do is to take 240 ml of
water on the surface to check whether it dabs
up. If it does, the floor is not a great choice
for epoxy coating. At last, remove paint from the
floor before applying an epoxy coating. If you
ignore this then it will not work properly. With
the help of soda blasting, you can easily remove
paint from the floor. Once the paint is removed
properly clean the floor with water and remove
the excess powder or debris utilizing an
industrial vacuum.

Clean and Prime the Floor
If you see any kind of grease and oil stains on
the floor remove them immediately by using the
industrial degreaser and let the floor dry.
After that use a high-pressure washer to remove
the remaining impurities or any kind of
dust. Now its time to apply the epoxy primer to
your floor. It is necessary to pay attention to
this step as it gives your surface a longer
life. Make sure that the house room is properly
ventilated before applying epoxy primer. The two
layers of epoxy coating are required to seal the
surface properly.

Choose Your Preferred Epoxy Product For Mixing
  • Now its time to choose between water and
    solvent-based epoxies. Also, you have to decide
    whether you are going to choose epoxy primer or
    epoxy flooring material. If you choose primer,
    it will give you a smoother finishing or shiny
    look and this is only possible when your floor
    is highly porous, flaky, rough, and chalky.
  • However, if you choose to apply the epoxy coating
    you need a lot of things such as protective
    gear, lung protection, gloves, eye protection,
    and good rubber boots.

Start from the back corner of the room by using
the nap roller. Make sure that the roller cannot
dry too much before applying epoxy primer. Make
your work easier by utilizing an extension on
your roller.
Installing The Epoxy Flooring
Leave it for 24 hours and avoid stepping into the
room as it cures. Basically, the standard epoxy
and epoxy primer comes in two parts. So, you
have to mix them properly at a one-time right
before application. The epoxy kits come
pre-measured and it has to be utilized within 40
minutes otherwise the epoxy may harden and get
difficult to use. The next step is to apply the
first coat of epoxy with the same roller and
start from the back corner as you move towards
the exit. Keep one thing in mind that the coat
is thin and even. Leave it for 24 hours. Once
its dry properly, apply the second coat just in
case if you see any kind of holes and cracks.
When the second coat dries, try not to go into
the room before 24 hours are over. Tip if you
see any kind of cracks use the epoxy filler and
fill all the cracks properly.
