Apply the First Coat of Epoxy

far enough so you can do your layout. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] So, here's a few tips. We're just working right along on this floor and John's doing all the cutins and I'm doing the rolling. And the first coat, what I'm trying to do is just roll it and put enough pressure cuz I want to actually push that epoxy down into the pores of the concrete and get a really good seal and a really good bite. So, I'm putting a lot of pressure and I'm not worried about laying my first coat out. My second coat is going to be really important to lay it out to get your uh brush or your roller strokes looking really nice and get a good nice layout on it. But the first coat, the important part is just pushing hard enough and getting enough pressure. And you don't want a really thick layer. You want a nice thin layer that's going to absorb into the concrete really well. And then when I'm rolling, I always keep my roller, the the point of my roller face to my left side as I'm rolling. And that way the actual um the roller cover itself won't come off your roller cage. So I always keep it pointed to the left. And that's just kind of a little simple little trick there. [Music] Another tip here is I'm just working right out of a 5gallon bucket. I don't have to screen it or anything, but all all my parts were just mixed into a five gallon. Just dipping it in to that 5 gallon bucket and lay rolling it out. And I just slide my bucket right along the concrete with my extension pole when I need to. [Music] [Applause] Another good tip is if you're actually doing this epoxy floor for a customer, you need to close the garage doors. Not all the way, but down a certain amount. So, you want to make sure that garage door, if you don't have access to the house, that you can actually close the garage door. So you either have the code, but it's better to have it not where it's goes down with the code, but just pull the little um release lever so you can just slide the garage door, let it get down and set on top of a onegon bucket or so. So make sure that you have access to get out. We just work our way out and then grab the garage door and just lower it lightly and set it on a onegon bucket. Oh, there's a place in town I believe that sells the coffee place sells it. [Music] All this. So, we're cruising right along here. We got just this back end now. We're working our way out the garage. One thing is it's a good idea. I've got an actual gallon of reducer 54 just sitting right out here in case…
