Garage Floor Epoxy | Broadcasting Flakes

What happens here

Before broadcasting, prepare the flakes by pouring them from their original boxes into smaller, manageable buckets. As you pour, manually blend the flakes from different boxes or within the same box to ensure an even distribution of colors and sizes. This helps prevent clumping that can occur during shipping and ensures consistent coverage. Be mindful that very fine particles may settle at the bottom of the bags; these should ideally be separated and not broadcast to maintain a clean finish.

Tools and materials
