What happens here

Use a drill with a mixer attachment to thoroughly combine the epoxy and the thinner. Mix until the solution is uniform. Once mixed, note the current time and place the lid on the 5-gallon bucket. The epoxy needs to 'sweat' (activate) for a specific period before application. For Tile Clad High Solids epoxy, a 30-minute sweat time is required. This ensures the epoxy hardens correctly after drying.

Goal: Achieve a uniformly mixed and activated epoxy solution.

Tools and materials

  • 5-Gallon Bucket with Lid — Container for mixing and sweating the epoxy

here. And then once I got it all mixed, I'm going to check the time. And then per my instructions, I want to make sure it sweats for at least that amount of time. Right now, it's 2:00. So, I'm going to wait till it's time before I start applying my epoxy. Don't forget during my videos, anytime all the tools and accessories we're using to do our floors or our paint jobs can be purchased right on my Amazon tool store. Anytime you see the logo right there, that's the link to my Amazon tool store. You can buy simple little things like a 5 in1 or other fancy tools that I have, even an airless sprayer. So, go check it out. Anytime you see that link, you can just click on it. It'll take you right to my website, which has my Amazon tool store. Okay, now here we are. Our got a garage floor. We got our product all sweating and which is the actual process of mixing up the A and B of our two-part epoxy. And the sweating is the activating of those two parts. And our epoxy that we're actually using, it takes a half hour sweat time. So, it's been that half hour. Now, we're going to begin on our floor, begin rolling it on our floor. But prior to that, we want to blow out any dust or debris that's on our floor. Scrape off anything. walk
