How Painters Can Epoxy Garage Floors Without Expensive Equipment
What happens here
After the primer has cured (typically overnight, or as per product instructions), apply the first epoxy layer using Citadel's PLE-100 FC (Fast Cure) Performance Leveling Epoxy. Pour the mixed epoxy onto the floor and use a squeegee to spread it evenly. Immediately after spreading, broadcast the decorative flakes (mica flakes are mentioned) liberally over the wet epoxy, ensuring full coverage. Be aware that PLE-100 FC has a fast cure time (15-minute pot life), so work quickly and efficiently.
Goal: Apply the first layer of epoxy and decorative flakes.
