Applying Epoxy. First step acid etching the concrete. Part 1.
What happens here
Wearing the appropriate safety gear including a respirator and rubber boots, the presenter proceeds to spray muriatic acid onto the concrete floor using the plastic weed sprayer. As the acid reacts with the concrete, it turns a noticeable yellow color, indicating active etching. The narrator explains that the acid is actively etching the floor while it remains yellow. Once the yellow color fades, the acid's activity decreases, and it is no longer significantly eating away at the concrete.
Goal: Acid etch the concrete floor to create a roughened profile.
