What happens here

Once the metallic epoxy colors are poured, use a squeegee or trowel with a long handle to spread and manipulate the wet epoxy. The objective is to gently blend the colors and create the 'Magic Trowel Effects,' which typically results in marbled, swirled, or wavy patterns. It's crucial to wear spiked shoes to walk on the wet epoxy without leaving footprints or disturbing the finish. Work methodically across the entire floor, ensuring an even spread while artistically creating the desired aesthetic.

Goal: Achieve desired marbled or flowing patterns with the metallic epoxy.
