What happens here
For efficient application, it's ideal to have two people. One person will handle 'cut-ins' (applying epoxy around the edges and corners) using a 4-inch roller with a 3/8-inch nap or a throwaway brush. The other person will do the main rolling of the floor using a 9-inch roller with a 1/4-inch nap, attached to a long extension pole. The extension pole should be long enough to reach across the sections of the garage floor. Ensure both individuals wear rubber gloves to protect their hands, as epoxy is difficult to clean off skin.
Goal: Prepare rolling tools and assign roles for effective epoxy application.
