A thing of beauty, concrete steps restored using a Milwaukee grinder. #milwaukee #tools #torginol
What happens here
After the concrete has been properly prepared and a base coat of epoxy has been applied and is still wet, the worker manually broadcasts decorative epoxy flakes over the entire surface of the stairs. The flakes adhere to the wet epoxy, creating a uniform, textured, and decorative finish. This step adds both aesthetic appeal and can contribute to anti-slip properties.
Goal: Apply decorative flakes to a wet epoxy base coat for a textured finish.
