Product Usage Instructions

Step 1: Labeling the Buckets
Label the buckets as follows – 2 Buckets for Mixed Epoxy, 1 Bucket for Resin A, 1 Bucket for Activator B, 1 Bucket for Extra.

Step 2: Mixing Epoxy
Start by pouring 1 part of activator (part B) and 2.3 parts of resin (part A) into a clean empty 5-gallon bucket labeled MIXED EPOXY. Mix thoroughly for a minimum of 3 minutes.

Step 3: Pouring Mixed Contents
Pour the mixed contents into another empty container immediately after mixing. Do not leave the mixed epoxy in the bucket as it must be poured onto the floor for longer working time.

Step 4: Applying the Coating
Cut in edges with brushes and small rollers starting from the furthest point from the mix station.

Step 5: Squeegee Application
Apply using a squeegee at a rate of 40-160 S.F. per gallon. Back roll the coating perpendicular to the squeegee direction with a 3/8” nap roller.
Note: Schedule a final back rolling to ensure uniformity. Address fisheyes from contaminants by re-rolling until dry enough for fisheye elimination. Bubbles should be rolled out in a square pattern to reduce noticeable color changes.

FAQ

Q: How should I address fisheyes and bubbles in the coating?
A: Fisheyes can be re-rolled until dry enough for fisheye elimination. Bubbles should be rolled out in a square pattern to reduce noticeable color changes.
Q: What should I do if resin or activator comes in contact with the floor coating area?
A: Neither unmixed product can be allowed to make contact with the floor coating area. Immediately pour mixed contents onto the floor and bring back the empty pail to the mixing station.

LABEL THE BUCKETS

2-BUCKETS “Mixed epoxy” 1-BUCKET- “Resin A” 1-BUCKET “Activator B” 1-BUCKET- “Extra”

HOW TO USE

Step 1:
1st BUCKET- “Mixed epoxy”
- Step 1a:
  Pour 4 gallons of Activator B into the bucket labeled Activator B (Keep this filled throughout mixing process) for easier mixing.
- Step 1b:
  Pour 4 gallons of Resin A into the bucket labeled “Resin A” (Keep this filled throughout mixing process) for easier mixing.
Step 2:
Pour 1 part (by volume) activator (part B) into a clean empty 5-gallon bucket labeled “MIXED EPOXY” up to the lowest line on the Measuring Stick. Into the same “MIXED EPOXY” bucket add 2.3 parts (by volume) of resin (part
A) to the second line from the bottom on the Measuring Stick. Accurately measure by volume using a fluid measuring device (not supplied) or by using the (supplied) measuring stick.
- If using a measuring cup/pail please refer to these guidelines:
- 126 ounces of Part “B” Activator/Hardener (1 part by volume)
- 290 ounces of Part “A” Resin (2.3 parts by volume)
Step 3:
All mixes must be power mixed for a minimum of 3 minutes in an up down and rotational fashion assuring all contents are mixed completely. Take the mixed product and pour all the mixed contents into the other “Mixed Epoxy” empty container. Use only this container labeled “extra” to pour its mixed contents onto the floor.
NOTE: RESIN OR ACTIVATOR CAN SERVE AS A CONTAMINANT SO NEITHER UNMIXED PRODUCT CAN BE ALLOWED TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE FLOOR COATING AREA. DO NOT ALLOW THIS “MIXED EPOXY” CONTAINER TO BE LEFT ON THE FLOOR AFTER POURING, IMMEDIATELY POUR ITS CONTENTS AND BRING EMPTY PAIL BACK TO THE MIXING STATION. DO NOT LEAVE MIXED EPOXY IN THE BUCKET, CONTENTS MUST BE IMMEDIATELY POURED ONTO THE FLOOR FOR LONGER WORKING TIME.
After pouring mixed coating from the bucket to the floor, you have 30-40 minutes working time @ 70 degrees F (lower at higher temps).
Step 4:
Starting from the furthest point from the mix station, cut in edges with brushes and small rollers.
Step 5:
Squeegee apply at a rate of 40-160 S.F. per gallon. Back-roll the coating perpendicular to the squeegee direction. Back rolling should be performed with a 3/8″ nap roller. Back rolling should be in opposite directions a minimum of 2 times (up & back 20 minutes apart).
Note: You must schedule the 3rd final back-rolling person an additional 30 minutes after 2nd final back-rolling to assure uniformity. Fisheyes from contaminants must be re-rolled until the coating is dry enough for fisheye elimination. Rolling must be done in a square pattern preferably to mortar joints; this will reduce a noticeable change in color. Bubbles must be blown out of the floor with a power blower if this condition occurs, in extreme cases and for up to 1.5 hours after completion: (Turning down the temperature by 10-15 degrees F during application of the topcoat will reduce surface tension and bubbling)
