2 NOOBS pour a Gorgeous Epoxy floor!

What happens here

After cleaning, a spot on the floor remains wet due to condensation from the stove. The plan is to use a torch to dry this area. The artistic vision for the floor is discussed: a tree-like design with brown in the middle for the trunk, green and blue for the branches, and other colors for accents. The daughter shows various pigment powders ('Stone Coat Countertops' brand) for mixing into the epoxy. It's noted that the floor resin has a different mix ratio than countertop resin and requires a different application technique. Special spiked shoes are introduced, designed to allow walking on wet epoxy without leaving marks, necessary for spreading and blending the resin.

Goal: Finalize the artistic design and understand the specific properties of the epoxy and tools for the floor.

Tools and materials

  • Spiked Shoes DIY — Allowing movement on wet epoxy without leaving marks
  • Torch — Drying residual condensation spots on the floor
  • Epoxy Resin — The main coating material for the floor
  • Pigment Powders Stone Coat Countertops — Coloring the epoxy resin (e.g., Mystic Moss, Forest Green, various browns, blues)

What they say

dry that up but it's going to still be a problem no matter what I don't know what we're gonna do but the mixologists over here what's the plan tell them you're playing guys no clue we want a tree of some sort a treat and ideally you want the tree coming in this way the roots kind of going that way in that way yeah and branches so branches this way that's going to be the kitchen area here back door here so then the canopy of the tree will be on this end of the room is that correct yeah so I guess the middle would be brown and then the sides would be green and blue and then we can just add like with these this color stuff we'll just act like cool designs I don't know so the idea is when you walk in you're actually walking up the tree kind of yeah okay I mean ideally that's the goal but so here's all the different they got they give you little color packets she lovesick Moss it's just like and then the base colors here lots of Base colors all these containers are needed now the flooring resin is not the same as the countertop resin it has a different mix ratio to it so and it's a little bit of different operating capacity so I guess the next thing is is you guys got to start mixing your colors and I think since I work tables on this side we start pouring that way we pour this way and we work our way out and the reason we're working our way out is because right before we leave we gotta Stoke up the stove so that it stays as warm as possible and then that way we can still crack that door open and all you got to do is reach in and turn that up and we can have constant heat overnight so the kids got creative last night and they made something from saw they made spiky shoes pretty nuts yeah you want to explain why you did that uh because our feet would smash the epoxy and when we poured the countertops I was barefoot and I still have epoxy in between my toes so and that was a counter not a floor so I'm trying to so this is what happens here with these shoes is they get you just up off from the ground enough that instead of when the epoxy's down you're not squishing it to the side guess who should wear them the only time you need them is when you're doing popping bubbles or if you got to walk over your pore if you're not walking over your poor don't wear them when we actually pour it don't you think we should wear no not unless you plan on walking on your poor you kind of did okay well then you gotta wear them but there's those are going to be ankle twisters and…
