What happens here
After the second flake coat has cured, repeat the scraping process to remove any loose or vertically protruding flakes. Following the scraping, lightly sand the entire surface of the floor with an orbital sander to smooth down any remaining sharp edges of the flakes. Vacuum the floor thoroughly to remove all dust and debris, ensuring a clean surface for the final top coat.
Goal: Smooth the flake surface and prepare for the final top coat.
