What happens here

Before applying the clear coat, put on rubber gloves to protect your hands, as the material can be messy and hard to remove once dry. Plan your application strategy by choosing one door of the garage to work towards. Begin applying the clear coat from the back of the garage, doing cut-ins along the edges and around any fixed objects (like water heaters or cabinets) with a brush, and then rolling the main floor area. This ensures you continuously work your way out of the garage and avoid stepping on wet clear coat.

Goal: Ensure personal protection and a clear path for applying the clear coat.

Tools and materials

Brush — Applying clear coat to edges and corners (cut-ins)
