What happens here
After grinding and thoroughly cleaning the surface to remove all dust and debris, mix the clear epoxy topcoat according to the manufacturer's instructions. The video shows the worker pouring the mixed topcoat into a paint tray and then applying it using a roller (0:52-0:59). Apply a uniform layer of the clear topcoat over the entire flaked surface. Use a brush to carefully apply the topcoat to edges, corners, and any areas the roller cannot reach. The clear topcoat will seal the flakes, provide a glossy finish, and offer protection against wear and tear.
Goal: Seal the flake system with a protective, clear epoxy topcoat.
