What happens here

The final major step is the application of the epoxy coating. The presenter uses Tile-Clad HS (High Solids), an industrial two-part epoxy polyamide coating, which he has successfully used for 22 years without callbacks. He applies two coats: the first coat is thinned with a reducer (Reducer 54) to achieve a good bite and adhesion to the concrete, ensuring it 'adheres really well'. He prefers to apply epoxy with a mohair roller, which allows him to push the product into the concrete for better penetration and adhesion, contributing to the durability and longevity that prevents failures. He acknowledges that some professionals spray epoxy or use squeegees, but he finds the roller method effective.

Goal: After crack repair, two coats of Tile-Clad HS epoxy are applied using a roller, with the first coat thinned to ensure excellent adhesion.

and it's just been, you know, a great system that I developed. So the epoxy itself, the coating my bid, I come in, I do the acid etching, let it dry, come back do the caulking, let it dry, I come back and do the epoxy, I do two coats of Tauclad 2, first coat is thinned down with reducer 54 to get myself a nice good bite on the floor and get a good coat that's going to hear really well. I like to thin it out and I also like to roll my epoxy. I know some of my friends that do epoxy floors, they spam, got some other friends that do them using squeegees, I like to use a roller and I use a mohair roller that way I can push it down into the concrete and get really good bites and I think it's part of why I've never had any good or any callbacks or any failures on my epoxy floors.
