What happens here
After the metallic epoxy base coat has cured sufficiently (check manufacturer's recommendations for recoat window), lightly sand the entire surface. The video shows the use of a random orbital sander with a vacuum attachment, which helps contain dust. This sanding step creates a mechanical profile on the smooth epoxy, ensuring proper adhesion for the subsequent anti-slip topcoat. It also helps to smooth out any minor imperfections or texture variations from the base coat application.
Goal: Prepare the cured metallic epoxy for the anti-slip topcoat.
