What happens here

Open the containers of the Citadel UL-80 Polyaspartic clear coat, which provides a longer cure time compared to the fast-cure epoxies. Carefully pour Component B (hardener) into the bucket containing Component A (resin). Using a drill mixer with a Jiffy paddle, thoroughly mix the two components for 3-4 minutes, making sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bucket to achieve a uniform consistency. The longer pot life (approximately 35 minutes) of this polyaspartic coating provides a more forgiving working window, allowing for better leveling and a smoother finish. This longer workability is beneficial for consistent application over larger areas.

Goal: Mix the two components of the UL-80 Polyaspartic clear coat, which offers a longer working time than fast-cure epoxies, allowing for more controlled application.

What they say

Hide

in 2 days. So, we did the scraping. Then we came back and did a coat of polyaspartic on top of that which is a longer cure time. 35 minute cure time gives you more working time. So we threw down that first clear coat of uh UL80 from Citadel. Threw down another flate coat on top of that. That was later in the evening when we got that done. Then we shut the garage doors, left them open a little bit so things can ventilate.
