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.
