What happens here

The video introduces the project as part three of a series on epoxying a garage floor. The current focus is on the actual application process. The presenter briefly mentions previous steps: acid etching and power washing (part one), and caulking cracks (part two). He then displays all the materials and tools needed for mixing the epoxy, including two-part industrial epoxy (Part A and Part B), a thinner called 'Reducer 54', a measuring cup, rubber gloves, a throwaway brush, a drill with a mixer attachment, and a 5-gallon bucket with a lid.

Goal: Understand the current stage of the epoxy project and gather necessary mixing materials and tools.

Tools and materials

5-Gallon Bucket — Mixing the epoxy components and allowing them to 'sweat'
Bucket Lid — Covering the mixed epoxy during the 'sweating' process
Drill DeWalt — Mixing the epoxy components and thinner
Measuring Cup — Accurately measuring the thinner
Mixer Attachment — Attaching to the drill to thoroughly mix the epoxy
Reducer 54 — A thinner used to make the first coat of epoxy more absorbent into the concrete
Rubber Gloves — Protecting hands from epoxy and thinner
Throwaway Brush — Scraping out epoxy from cans to minimize waste
Two-Part Industrial Epoxy — The main coating for the garage floor, consisting of Part A (color) and Part B (hardener)

This is Chris the Idaho Painter. This is part three on my series of how to epoxy your own garage floor. So stay tuned as we begin the actual application process of epoxying your floor. And we're getting ready to do the epoxy process. And we've got to mix our two parts of epoxy and let them sweat. A process of allowing them to activate before we begin applying it on the floor. Prior to this third video, I got my first video on acid etching and power washing the floor. And then the second video, which is cocking all the cracks and getting it ready to epoxy. And now we're on this third part um part three of our video series, epoxying a garage floor. So stay tuned to mixing up the epoxy and we're going to show you that process. So I'm now ready here to um mix my epoxy together. And the epoxy we use is a two-part industrial epoxy. And you're going to have a part A and a part B. This is part B. And then we've got a part A right here. And part A is actually the color itself. And we're going to take and mix. Um there's a label covering the A, but that's just um there's two there's four together right here. Part A, part B, part A, part B. And then we also got a thinner right here on our first coat of epoxy. We thin our first coat. That makes it absorbent into the concrete a lot better. We've got a measuring cup right here to measure out our thinner, which is a reducer 54 to thin our epoxy. I've got some rubber gloves because I don't want to get the stuff on my hands. I've got just a throwaway brush that I can scrape out my gallon cans. I've got a way that I can actually mix it. And then I've got a lid to put on my 5gallon bucket while it's sweating. And the sweating process is actually mixing part A and part B together and allowing it to sit and activate. And you want to take and read
