4:25chemical resistant and perfect for homes
4:28garages commercial spaces and Industrial
4:31floors it's not just paint unlike
4:34regular floor Coatings epoxy actually
4:37bonds chemically to the concrete making
4:40it super durable and long-lasting it's
4:42waterproof stain resistant and easy to
4:46clean no more worrying about oil stains
4:48or moisture damage it looks amazing from
4:52solid colors to metallic swirls 3D
4:55illusions and decorative flakes epoxy
4:58flooring is both fun functional and
5:00artistic how does epoxy work now let's
5:04break it down into simple steps epoxy is
5:07made of two main parts Part A the epoxy
5:11resin this is the main base that
5:13provides the smooth glossy texture Part
5:16B the hardener activator this triggers
5:20the chemical reaction that makes the
5:21epoxy cure and harden when you mix these
5:24two components in the correct ratio a

14:27concrete if your floor has paint
14:29oil stains or old Coatings they must be
14:32removed first how to test if your floor
14:35is ready water absorption test pour a
14:38small amount of water onto the concrete
14:41if it absorbs quickly your floor is good
14:43to go if it beads up your floor is
14:45sealed and needs to be ground or etched
14:48tape test stick a piece of duct tape to
14:51the floor and peel it off Tiff dust or
14:53paint sticks to the tape you need more
14:55cleaning or grinding step two cleaning
14:59and degreasing the floor remove all dust
15:02dirt oil and grease epoxy won't Bond
15:06properly if the surface is dirty best
15:08cleaning process One Sweep the entire
15:12area to remove loose debris two use a
15:15Degreaser like tsp for oil stains scrub
15:19with a stiff brush three pressure wash
15:22or mop with warm water for let the
15:25surface dry completely before moving to
15:27the next step step three surface
15:30profiling grinding or acid etching why
15:33is this important for epoxy to bond
15:36perfectly the surface needs to be
15:38slightly rough like 150 grit sandpaper
15:41option one diamond grinding best method
15:45use a diamond grinder to create a
15:47textured surface vacuum up all dust
15:50after grinding option two acid etching
15:54alternative method mix one part muriatic
15:57acid with three parts water
15:59pour evenly and scrub with a stiff brush
16:02let it react for 10 to 15 minutes until
16:05it stops bubbling neutralize with baking
16:07soda plus water and rinse thoroughly
16:10warning always wear protective gear
16:13gloves mask goggles when handling acid
16:17step four repairing cracks and
16:20Imperfections cracks holes or uneven
16:24areas can ruin your epoxy floor fix them
16:27before coating how to fix floor issues
16:30for small cracks use epoxy filler or
16:33concrete patch for large cracks or holes
16:37fill with cement-based patching compound
16:40uneven floors use a self-leveling
16:43compound step five final vacuum and
16:46moisture check vacuum the entire floor
16:49one last time to remove dust check for
16:52moisture epoxy can fail if the concrete
16:54is too damp how to check for moisture
16:57tape a plastic sheet to the floor and
16:59leave it for 24 hours if you see
17:02condensation or dark spots wait longer
17:05for the floor to dry common preparation
17:07mistakes and how to avoid them mistake
17:10number one skipping grinding or etching
17:14problem epoxy won't stick well leading
17:17to peeling solution always profile your
17:20surface mistake number two not cleaning
17:24properly problem dust and grease cause
17:27Bubbles and adhesion issues isues
17:29solution degrease etch and vacuum
17:33thoroughly mistake number three applying
17:36epoxy on a damp floor problem moisture
17:39gets trapped causing delamination
17:43solution always perform a moisture test

18:57class now that your floor is is clean
18:59dry and prepped it's time to apply the
19:02first coat of epoxy this step is
19:05critical it determines how well your
19:07epoxy will bond and how smooth your
19:09final result will be we'll cover mixing
19:11ratios spreading techniques and how to
19:14avoid common mistakes let's get started
19:18step one choosing the right epoxy type
19:21primer coat recommended thin epoxy layer
19:25to improve adhesion self-leveling epoxy
19:28best for smooth even floors high-build
19:32epoxy thicker more durable great for
19:35heavyduty areas for beginners start with
19:39a primer coat then a self-leveling epoxy
19:42step two mixing epoxy resin and hardener
19:46why is this important If the ratio is
19:49incorrect your epoxy won't cure properly
19:52standard mixing ratio 2: 1 or 3: 1 check
19:56your product instructions 1 measure
19:59exact amounts of part a resin and Part B
20:03hardener two pour Part B into part A
20:06slowly never the other way around three
20:09mix for 3 to 5 minutes using a drill
20:11mixer at low speed four scrape the sides
20:15and bottom of the bucket to mix evenly
20:17five let it sit for 2 minutes to allow
20:20air bubbles to rise warning never mix
20:23more than you can apply within 30
20:25minutes step three applying the first
20:28first primer coat a thin primer coat
20:31prevents air bubbles and improves
20:33adhesion application process one start
20:37in a back corner and work towards the
20:39exit two pour a small amount onto the
20:42floor in an s or zigzag pattern three
20:45use the squeegee to spread evenly over
20:48the surface four back roll with a paint
20:50roller to smooth it out five let it cure
20:53for 8 to 12 hours before adding another
20:56layer tip where spiked shoes so you can
20:59walk on the wet epoxy without leaving
21:01marks step four removing air bubbles
21:05with a torch or roller why do bubbles
21:07form mixing too fast applying on a
21:11porous surface temperature changes how
21:14to remove bubbles use a heat torch or
21:17propane torch move quickly over the
21:19surface use a spiked roller to pop
21:22bubbles in self-leveling epoxy avoid
21:25over mixing to prevent excess bubbles in
21:27the first place step five curing time
21:31and next steps let the first coat fully
21:33cure before adding another layer curing
21:36time guide touch dry 8 to 12 hours
21:40second coat ready 12 to 24 hours fully
21:44cured 5 to 7 Days warning don't walk on
21:48the epoxy until it's fully dry common
21:51mistakes and how to avoid them mistake
21:54number one mixing incorrect ratios
21:57problem sticky uncured epoxy solution
22:02always measure accurately mistake number
22:05two skipping the primer coat problem
22:08pour adhesion peeling over time solution
22:12apply a thin primer coat first mistake
22:15number three not controlling bubbles
