Roll Epoxy Over Filled Joints
At 0:40 in
Filling saw cuts! Metallic epoxy floor with The Idaho Painter. #metallicfloors #metallicepoxy ll
What happens here
Once the saw cuts have been adequately filled with the epoxy cavasil, don spiked shoes to allow free movement across the wet epoxy surface without leaving marks. Using a long-handled roller, systematically roll over the entire floor area, paying particular attention to the recently filled joints and the surrounding epoxy coating. This action helps to evenly distribute and smooth out the epoxy, integrating the filled joints seamlessly with the rest of the floor's finish. A second person can assist with this rolling process, also wearing spiked shoes and using a roller, to ensure full coverage and a consistent finish.
Goal: Ensure a smooth, even epoxy finish over filled joints and surrounding floor.
