How long after applying the primer do you need to wait to pour the metallics?

[@khalilhardy9578]

How many mixes of the base coat did it take to complete this ?

[@ctothej870]

Don't you mean using a shop vac would decrease, not increase dry time?

[@spartanepoxies3798]

No if it decreased that means slower. Increase means less time.

[@g.allengordon8195]

@@spartanepoxies3798 You have that precisely 180* backwards. Dry time is the amount of time it takes to dry. Increasing dry time means adding the amount of time it takes to dry. Mechanical devices DECREASE drying time by taking less time to dry!

[@spartanepoxies3798]

@@g.allengordon8195 I can see what you're saying! What we are trying to say is that by using a shop vac it will speed up dry time. Sorry about that!

Does this hold up well without a top coat? I see the website recommends one

[@gsting2006]

Do you sand down the epoxy before the clear?

[@Thump40]

What was the state footage and how much do typically charge? I'm seal coating and spraying polyurea but I'm trying to broaden my horizons! Thank you!!

Nice job

[@spartanepoxies3798]

Thanks Rafael! Erica did a great job. We typically have one of our professionals do our installs but we wanted to have someone that has never done it before. Boy she did a great job!

[@markwarner8336]

can you apply for this on a plywood floor

[@spartanepoxies3798]

@@markwarner8336 yes you just need to use our special epoxy called FLEX.

[@spartanepoxies3798]

@@markwarner8336 Wanted to mention that you can do other things over wood. We don't officially recommend this in any documentation, however we have had a few customers put down the cheapest linoleum they could find and then apply a bonding primer like kilz2 waterborne. It's worked for them several times!

Two 3 gallon kits of the Clear Binder will guarantee cover 420 sqft?

[@brianwalker5937]

why are you showing mixing the epoxy (3:20) before you put down the primer. you even said once you start the mix you got a limited time. If you mix the epoxy before the primer has been applied your epoxy is ruined. Now what it looks like is this is just a bad edit or a bad decision of scene placement. I just think it can cause confusion. Don't mix epoxy until you have everything ready, you have all your tools, you know your plan of attack, you've had your breaks and you are ready to go.

Tell the young man to pull his pants up! No one wants to watch that.

[@spartanepoxies3798]

LOL Will Do, and we were joking with him the whole time during the filming of the project. His belt broke and that's why that was happening! However we did give him a hard time lol.
